Time for a little ade-rant!

As many of you will know, I have struggled with my weight for a really long time and I've suffered with a binge eating disorder for, well, as long as I can remember but over the last six months (since hitting rock bottom) I've managed to pull myself out of a big black hole and do something about it.

For me, that is Jane Plan - a diet plan here in the UK (and it may be elsewhere), but in essence they provide you with 28 days worth of 3 meals a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner) plus a snack. You then add fruits, veggies etc to the meals to bulk them out and the diet is calorie controlled (to between 1,200 - 1,400 per day).

I started this on 3rd February and whilst I have had a few set backs (cravings getting the better of me), I've lost 13lbs which over the course of 3 months isn't really enough (in my eyes!), I'm on a journey and I'm making a change.

Yesterday I stopped off at a local pet store and I'd parked my car in one of the bays.. as I was leaving, a Range Rover Sport pulled up in the space next to me (I'd love to know why as there were SO MANY OTHER SPACES) and he left maybe a foot wide space between my driver door and his passenger door. 

Politely I asked if he'd mind just moving his car so I could get into my drivers seat.. he looked me up and down and said 'maybe you should lose some weight' and walked off. 

To say I was shocked was an understatement! I ended up climbing over my passenger side into the drivers seat but DAMN!

Can't believe the shittyness of some people!

People can be such shitheads, and it's just so unnecessary? Honestly, I swear some people thrive on being bitter and petty and making other people feel small?

Which is a shame, but I tend to be a strong believer in 'you reap what you sow', at least on a social/emotional front. Assholes might be able to get ahead of the game economically, buuuut is anyone ever really gonna like someone who behaves like that?! Aside from other assholes. And maybe they get some kind of weird satisfaction from putting people down, but that's gotta be a pretty shallow and short-lived satisfaction. :)

Also (and I know you're not here for this reason, buuuuut) congrats on finding something that works for you and doing so well with it. Don't let the idiots of the world knock you down.

People can be so ugly, I'm sorry this happened. Petty me would've smashed my door repeatedly into the side of his car and been like, "ooOOooOOhhHH nOOoOOo I can't get in," buuuuuut that solves nothing :P

Congrats on your weight loss journey. Slow and steady wins the race, you're smashing it! 

See, I would have "accidentally" slid my keys against the side of his car as I was trying to get in on the driver's side 

-evil-

13lbs over 3 months is nothing to scoff at! That is genuinely great. Keep up the good work. (: I'm glad you found something that works for you. I've had similar experiences with people regarding my weight. I will never understand how people let such hurtful words exit their mouths. Ugh. Karma can be a bitch though! ♥

I'm so sorry ♥ 

As a fellow plus size gal I know exactly where you are coming from.

It's happened to me a lot with people being rude and obnoxiously pointing out I should lose weight. I mean apparently I have NO IDEA that I am fat.... according to them. It's happened so many times now I will literally look at someone and say something like "hey, I'm fat, can you move over a bit or I'm gonna end up dinging your shit". 

Also, don't be down on yourself, any amount of progress is GREAT progress. It is hard, its a huge lifestyle change and even though you feel like it's not fast enough, you're moving in the right direction. I'm so happy for you. Don't let the buttholes steal your joy girly ♥. 

Some people just suck! Congrats on your journey and happy you found something your having success with!! 

I can't believe someone would say that to you! I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. I don't care what people look like, you don't get to treat anyone like that! I'd knock a MFer out >:[

Kudos to you for taking on a health journey! Just getting started can be a big step. Just remember to have compassion and understand for yourself. It's really easy to be your own hardest critic! ♥

Aww you guys.  ♥
He was about 5ft and bald, so I think small man syndrome played a part in his bitterness. 

I'm really sorry that that happened to you, babe. Men have real pockets because that's where they keep all their damn audacity. It costs nothing to not be an asshole and this man went out of his way to be one. Definitely sounds like small man syndrome to me. Have to bring someone else down just so he feels better about himself. Please please please don't allow yourself to listen to or agree with his rudeness. 13lbs is a lot of progress, and even if you think it's not happening as fast as you like, it's still progress and it's healthy progress. 

13 lbs is a huge amoutn of progress and thats 1 lb a week, which is healthy and sustainable and wondrous!

As for the dirtbag.

What an absolutely horrible human being.  I'd have be a cow and scratched his vehicle.
