Seriously?!

Friday, September 21, 2012

Some people haven't got an ounce of tact in their bodies. I am the first to admit...I'm a chunky girl, I've got some junk in my truck...But you know what I'm a work in progress and I'm working on getting into shape. While I was doing my after work walk yesterday I noticed two guys on the opposite side of the street watching me and snickering. I continue on to the cross walk before crossing over....deep down I am trying to get keep calm. The closer I get to said gentlemen (and I use that term very loosily!) I hear them making snide remarks and more laughter....Really taking the jeers to heart, the old me would have started tearing up and maybe walk in the opposite direction.....BUT the new Kris, head held high picked up the pass and breezed past said jokers....And When the called out I stopped, turned and replied....."If you're talking about my weight please don't get it twisted....I can always loose weight...but sadly you two can't fix stupid! Closed minded jerks like you actually give me motivation!" Turn and walk away with a big smile on my face as those two jerks stand there jaw wide open!

Point of the story is NO ONE is going to stand in my way. You can say what you want about me, but words won't hurt me anymore! Those words may sting but they won't break me...they motivate me!

    THAT IS INCREDIBLE! YOU ARE INCREDIBLE! Never let them get you down because heart is worth more than words any day. If this ever happens again (I hope it doesn't though!) remind yourself that you have so many sparkfriends standing with you and we all know you're worth more than any negative comment people can make. Let us remind you of your strength!

    Thanks y'all! And I normally wouldn't have commented to two guys like that...But I felt safe because of the surrounding area had plenty of people around and I work in the area so they knew me! And I seriously don't know what is up with some people besides ignorance!

    Similar story, reminds me once during lunch break a girlfriend and I were walking downtown and 2 black guys hanging on the corner of drugs and prostitutes (sorry, but true) saw us and just had to comment on my backside....even in my skinniest days I've always had a booty, so being quite heavy of course I had quite the backside, and you know how alot of black women do too....well......their comment was to say I had quite the "nigger butt" (their words, not mine).
I kept my head up and my eyes straight ahead and walked right on by. (not the place for a confrontation, altho I do admire your comeback!!)
What is it with people anyhow??

    You go girl, don't let anything or anyone stop you from reaching your goals! You are worth more than someone's opinions, especially when they don't know you!
