I will say this right now, I am not thin/sleak/slim or any other variation of the world. I have a stomach and it is smaller then it had been. I have been working on it and part of the way I've been working on it is not eating out for lunch and bringing my own. Although this is a slow process for me, I am working on it.
Now onto me being at the store getting more bags of salad for my lunches along with some more eggs and cheese to put in with the salad. As I'm wandering through just kinda looking at things and wondering what I should make for dinners next week I saw them. A 5lb bag of gummy bears marked down because it was getting close to it's shelf date. I had never seen this before and happily grabbed them off the shelf and did a little happy dance. About ready to turn from there, there she was this 5'10" slender woman wearing a nice business dress and low heels with a haughtier then tho look on her face. Looking at me she raised an eyebrow and gave a little sniff before turning away. Blinking I just edged away from her back to my cart and continued on.
If it had ended there I wouldn't have posted it as more then a WTH scenario. But it continued. Now I have this recipe for Cheeze-It Chicken, it's really yummy is I treat it like a once a month kind of thing and I like slicing the chicken to go over salad and then I don't use dressing (of which I hardly use any anyways). So I see Ritz are on sale and do another little happy dance and grab a box putting it with my gummy bears and I feel like something isn't right and there she is, Lady SP, again I get a sniff and it looks like she wants to say SOMETHING but just can't.
Edging away again I'm starting to feel like I should put things away and just go home because something doesn't feel right. But I'm a big girl and I can make my own choices dangit. Heading down I grab some snack bags to separate my gummy bears out for individual lunches and then start to head down to the pop aisle to pick up some of the store brand pop that is yummy and that I put into a smaller container. And again there is SP, but this time there is no sniff, no look, just her grating voice. "Your just going to get fatter don't you ever want to be loved? Because no one is going to want to sleep with your fat ass." My jaw dropped and I just stared at her. Pulling back like I had just gotten hit I let my hand open that was holding a bottle of pop and it slams to the floor bursting open. Pulling back I turned and practically ran down the aisle and when I caught the first employee I told him about the spill, apologized and rushed to the lanes with tears still making their way down my cheeks.
Now it's been a hour or so and all I can think is...I should slapped her silly, or maybe blown hard enough and watched her fly away. But of course I'm not that harsh when confronted...but really was I doing that much wrong? Or am I just taking this far too harder then I should be?
