Don't know what came over me!
Just had to share this with you all. Last weekend I was working in the garden and decided that I needed a few bags of dirt from the local garden shop. Since I was going to be lugging around bags of dirt, I didn't bother changing and just popped over to the garden center without thinking about it. Now...I was wearing denim bike shorts and a tank top and I realize that I'm not exactly a picture of lovliness in that outfit, but heck...it's the weekend and I'm working in the yard...who cares? I'm 40 and I've been married 17 years...who do I have to impress except my husband? Well...while I was there chucking bags of dirt into the cart, this guy several feet away says to his buddy, "women like her shouldn't be allowed out in public like that." Since I'm the only woman out there, I KNOW he's talking about me. I honestly don't know what came over me because normally I would have ignored it and snuck away in shame, but instead I turned around and replied with a smile, "And men like you shouldn't be allowed the gift of language. Grunting suits you far better". Then walked away leving him with his mouth hanging open and his buddy laughing. Told my hubby about it when I got home and thought he was gonna hurt himself laughing. He told me that the feisty old me must be re-emerging now that I'm losing weight and feeling confident again. Just remember, ladies...just because we are overweight does not mean that we have to tolerate rudeness or be ashamed of who we are!
