Sick and Tired

[Redmaxx 740]

So the Department of Michigan VFW Convention was this past weekend and low and behold everyone had a comment on my weight loss. From the "Oh are you sick?" to "Did you lose weight on purpose?" to the "You don't have AIDS do you?". That one really pissed me off and I wanted to kill that a*****e. What a thing to say to someone. And he is a past State Commander. I came so close to throat punching this POS. Losing the election didn't really upset me, but his comment really did. I now have a major attitude and my depression has come back with a vengeance.

Wow, that's some nerve asking a question of the sort. Even if he was trying to joke, but it doesn't sound like it. My encouragement for you is to find a way to let negative comments roll off your back and not take it to heart. It's VERY HARD to do, because words can slice and dice us up, but if this is how people are in your community (area), than that's maybe what you might need to try to do??? Fight the depression, it wants to leave you in despair and you're too priceless to be wallowing in the dark. Everyone is.

Some people have no filter. Just let it roll off & keep pushing fwd. when a person is 250 pounds it's **** talking and when a person gets thin they must be gravely ill. Damned if you do damned if you don't.

Sorry to hear about the less-than-desirable election results

Now, maybe you have time in your schedule to take that vacation!

You know even men get jealous. Most men once they are your age and are obese they never lose unless they cancer or something.

I really think you need to talk to someone though. A therapist, just a couple sessions would help.

My step grandmother would either call me fat or sick. I never looked good. Fortunately for me I didn't care.
I'm sorry it spun you into depression.
Do you have a therapist you could talk this over with? For what it's worth I think you look amazing!

Thank you. I can make an appointment at the VA to talk to the head shrinker.

Therapy helps a lot especially when people upset you like that it is a legitimate venting way also they can five you the tools to handle those intolerable situation. It is a same the world is more accepting of a drug addict but being overweight people act like you are take money out their pocket to feed yourself. Good for not going to jail for trash.

No I was saying what Redmaxx should have responded to the bastard that asked him that question.

Guess I should've read the rest of the post.
