Perhaps the word "fight" should be removed from this description?

Gripe, complain, moan, debate, rant and rave might work?

My rant for today....

GAWD! I am HUNGRY!!!

And sleevie whispers to me smugly..." and your point is? "

Its OK I was called a mean girl...if u knew me its the farthest from the truth... brush it off

Yup

I have been told several times that I am "too skinny". The same person will then tell me I look great and she is jealous. I try to take the comments as a compliment. The other day I was showing her a project I want to do at my house and was pointing up at the roof. She grabbed the flabby underarm hanging from my arm and said "you should draw a nipple on these and tell everyone you have extra boobs". THAT HURT MY FEELINGS. I will be getting the arm surgery as soon as I can afford it.

Oh my word. It is incredible how people are. So much more we could be in building each other up instead of tearing each other down. That would take off most of TV from what I hear.

I would have spun on my heel, snatched my arm back and said 'Watch your mouth'...

That is in NO WAY funny or acceptable.

My retort to her:

"You should draw a line down the middle of your face so you look like the ass you are."

haha. That is good. I usually can't bring myself to something that harsh. I simply cut off people who are not nice. If they are family, I minimize contact as much as possible.

I don't care to have people like this in my life, so, I tell them exactly how I feel. What's the worst thing that can happen? They stop talking to me? I feel I am actually doing them a favor. If they didn't realize they were being mean, they sure do now.

I would stare at her for a second, then slowly say "would you say that again?". When (if) she does, then I'd say "Wait, I want to get a tape recorder, my REAL friends aren't going to believe what you just said to me!". She would probably be making a hasty retreat at this point.

Seven shades of spectacular.

Was told this week that I was gaunt and had too much neck skin hanging and that is why she knew I had gastric bypass.. What the H*ll?...Now that could be a rant! People say the damndist things don't they?! :( Time to hide in the closet till plastics can fix my ugly ass!!!!!!!!!!!

I was told my face & neck look like Tales of the Crypt and that I needed to gain 30 pounds back.

To hell with them. I'd rather look like it than be dead in a crypt. I got a panni. I'm done with plastics. And done giving a damn about who thinks they have a right to an opinion about my weight or my looks

how rude some people can be! I'd try to think of some snappy comeback but they just don't deserve the energy that would take.RJ just keep on standing out in the sunshine... To hell with them!

I'm wondering if any one has faced judgement for choosing surgery rather than "diet and excersize", as if no one has ever tried that method before choosing surgery... There seems to be a palpable divide between various weight maintenance methods, even amongst those in a gym setting where some love cycling but others love Zumba... just pondering.

In a more related comment, if anyone says anything about sagging skin to me I'll tell them it's my badge of honor cause I took control of my health. On a side note, you could mention to them that you could get plastic surgery but there is no cure for their stupidity!
