Hi chaosed,

What I’ve noticed is most women put in a huge amount of life energy, time and money to be thin. That in itself would make one unhappy. And then here they see us (I’m in the same boat, sister!) come down the pike, all fat and happy. And they’re all “How dare you be happy and do your own thing and not care, you haven’t paid your dues! I’ll remind you that you should be miserable if fat!”

Then you have the young, entitled guys who watch too much media. They see fat guys in sitcoms married to gorgeous models. And they’re all average, and they’re all like, “Where’s my model?” Then you have the middle aged guys whose lives are basically never going to change and they know it, and they’re all “I’ve NEVER had a model” and then they see us walk along, all fat and happy. And we’re not interested in them (or even thought of them) and they know it, and, well.. We must “pay” right?

The good news is that the older we get, the less people mess with us. We should wear clothes that we love, do the things we love, eat amazing food. And eat healthy and exercise because we want to, not because it will supposedly make our bodies do our bidding. And like the above poster said, Do good anyway. We are walking angels, only visiting this planet for such a short time. Let’s strive to be happy. Then only time I’ve put people down is when I’ve been desperately unhappy deep down. Feel sorry for them.
