I must have woke up in the freakn TWIGHTLIGHT ZONE. Everything that happened today was totally weird. However, the strangest thing that happened and really pissed me off was this man walked up to me and announced to a whole room filled with people "I just love me a BIG & HEFTY strong woman" who the freak does that? Or says that in front of a room of business people or just says that period!!! I smiled and whispered in his ear I despise an obnoxious loud mouth man, and walked away. He then had the nerve to yell after me that he needed my business card so he could call. Why oh why am I being tested? One of those days I could have drowned my sorrows with my favorite men (Ben&Jerry) but I left those two men who vowed to love me till death right in the grocery store. I don't have to worry about them being loud and obnoxious. Honestly, the man was probably trying to give me a compliment and flirt and didn't know how. His poor face fell to the floor after I turned my nose up at him and walked away. I was just mad and felt a bit embarrassed because he was so dang loud.
So, I tell my sisters thinking they would empathize, these women get on the floor laughing. I'm looking at them like really? So, I am going to bed early and act like today never happened. That was only a couple of things that happened, but no need to go into any more details. GOOD GRIEF!!! (So, if I ever strayed from the Atkins I will not again!!!) Great wake up call.)

Oh My God!!! Even if he was flirting I still would have punched him...what a rude son of a beeeeep. I will never understand people and their behavior.
Good for you for not letting this pull you down into a Ben and Jerrys eating funk...its so not worth it.
I have come a long way with weight loss and I know that where you are is a tough place but you can do it. Remember it takes 21 days to create a habit....so dont slip and remember this is for you and screw the rest :)
May tomorrow be brighter

Sorry you had such an inconsiderate encounter. I bet lots of comebacks came to you afterwards but I think you handled yourself with absolute class. Don't let idiots define your life, and sometimes, as cruel as it is sometimes negative things can be taken in a positive way to motivate us big and hefty people

First of all, I was shocked by this jerk...I mean, who in the world conducts themselves like that?! I'm so glad you put the joker in his place so that he doesn't think he can continue in this line of behavior. I do have to say though, that the way you related this story, I can see your sisters rolling on the floor....you have a gift of humor in your writing. (Sort of like my need to MOVE the world story lol).

Wow - I am sooo sorry that you had to experience that. Some people just are ignorant when it comes to the impact that their words can have, even if their intent wasn't to hurt. Kudos to you for the way you handled it though! And great job in not falling back into the B&J pattern - I think that's the hardest for all of us. You've got this, and there are lots of empathetic ears here when you need 'em. Make it a great day for YOU! :) Mar
