arharoma's Journal, 22 January 2016

hi everyone,
have you ever had a day when you felt good about yourself and all it takes is someone mean to mess up your thinking about yourself? well it happened to me today, its hot here, over 30 degrees in christchurch nz. i decided to wear my shorts which i think look ok, a little celulite but nothing major, I go to the supermarket to get some food , as im down the isle for cold foods, i walk past these two younge girls and stopped to get something, i hear one go, oh God and giggling and i turned around and they were looking at me, i was so tempted to say, look in the mirror your not so hot yourself and of course you never say anything if that happens, maybe they think someone over 40 shouldnt wear shorts, lol. i have no idea, but then i got home and thought, NO, ive put in so much hard work to lose a couple of kg, ive got 7 or 8 to go and im not letting those little b*****s get me down. I just understand, many younger people think when your older like me, in my 40s that i dont have feelings or something, well they were both overweight was what shocked me and needed to lose more than i do lol. thats my rant for today

oh wait till they get old. Girl, I see some seriously obese women in Jamaica wear their micro shorts with lumps, folds, cellulite galore and they're the most confident women like ever!! No one can't say that they're not hot sexy beasts. So please, wear your hot shorts, feel good in your skin and to hell with the gigglers...their time is coming soon hehehehehe lol

Don't know who quoted this: "Your perception of me is a reflection of you: my reaction to you is an awareness of me." ~~"The way we reflect the world around us is the direct reflection of the world within us." ----those girls were only seeing what they see in themselves

i don't think it's necessary to respond to such immaturity. Don't let anyone make you mean.

Next time you are in that situation just lightly point your finger toward them and smile real big or even a small laughing reaction from you....no words need to be spoken and then walk away.....look at my big belly in my pic, it happens to me all the time....I do that and it works. The big plus is you will feel good after that.

Sounds like you're on the right track. As a 40+ year old myself, I'm getting to a point where I'm often confused about how the younger crowd functions in society and I've started to ask them point blank why they are doing what they are doing. Maybe I'm getting old, but it's been entertaining to say the least to see their reaction when I call them out on their self-centered, oblivious behavior. It can be so tempting to stoop to their level, but keep taking the high road. I think I remember someone once saying something like, when you feel compassion for those who oppress you, you've reached a level of maturity/growth few reach in their lifetime... Or something like that.

yes its great getting advice, after the fact, at the time, i just react in hurt and feel like a kid again, being teased isnt nice and maybe i m sensitive from a younge age, i wasnt expection it so its not easy to react the "right"way, i expect people to be nice because i am so i will learn from it. not take it to heart as when im feeling down, like anyone else, you can take thinggs to heart more than other times
