  • That's right, laugh at me. Ass!!

    So, I was riding my bike this evening, getting some exercise in, on the bike path behind my apartment. Now, the path obviously is broken when a street intersects, as below in my crudely put together diagram. The path is labeled, and that section intersecting it is the street. I hope it's easy enough to understand.


    _______________ | | ________________

    (Path)
    ______________ | | ________________

    so I had slowed down to a stop on one side of the path, checking for traffic like a good little cyclist. And this family in a truck pulls out of a driveway and starts coasting down the road towards me. I wait for them to pass, but they slow down instead.

    As they drive by me, the father (I presume) points at me and says something I can't catch. The mother and little boy (again, I presume) start laughing. They have their windows down, so I can very clearly hear them laughing, and as they drive away I hear the little boy very distinctly say "But she's too fat!!!"

    Irony of it all is each member of the family, little boy included looked to be bigger around than I am. That's right, laugh at me, fuckers. I'm trying to exercise and get in shape.

    Still kind of hurt though, and irritates me that the parents are not only acting like this, they're encouraging their child to do the same.

    Assholes.

    Deep down inside, they're probably just jealous that you're willing to get on a bike to try to shed the excess weight. I bet they were munching on some bad food while they were sitting in the car and making fun of you.

        This my friends is why I do not own a bike. Being overweight is bad enough, but being laughed at for trying to do something about it - just plain sucks. Public ridicule is one of the biggest stumbling blocks for people trying to lose weight. I set up a home gym in my garage so I can avoid people watching me.

        Kudos to you for taking steps to improve your lifestyle with excercise.

          Betcha all the occupants of the truck were all decked out in their finest "No Fat Chicks" t-shirts.

          Meaning all the stains matched their pants or shorts, assuming they were wearing any.

            Fuck 'em. They are probably the same assholes that go on the highway and will tailgate you even though there is a long string of cars ahead of you....

              Lupy,

              Next time, give them the bird. Really.
              Hell, I'm overweight, and in Seattle, where EVERYONE is super-uber-eco-healthy-granola-exercise kinda shit. I'm talking, it's hard for me to find clothing. Everyone out here is a size 8 or 10 at the max. No fat on their bodies.

              Well, fine.

              I went bike riding yesterday (go me) and I can feel the burn. I felt a bit self-conscious about it, being non-skinny; but I said F It, I'm gonna enjoy the sun and the good weather.

              I'm sorry someone out there was mean to you. Just think - you can put up with lots of shit happening, you are so much better than them. You're TRYING. You're GETTING THERE. Down the road, I bet their truck will blow a tire. And their phone batteries will be dead. And they'll have to eat some crow when asking for help.

              Let's hope that crow ate lots of habenaro peppers.

                Not EVERYONE in Seattle is Super skinny. I'm sure not.

                Lupo, Just think of it this way, you can lose the weight. They can NEVER lose the stupid!

                    I WILL never understand why people say such mean things unprovoked.Don't worry people like this eventually get whats coming to them,like a swift smack across the face.Don't worry about it I got laughs too when I was "big" and then those laughs turned to whistles,and then I got to cuss those people out.Hitting on me just because now I'm thin.

                      How much do you wanna bet that Jerry Springer contestant family probably wouldn't have the testicular fortitude to get out of the truck and show you their proud beer bellies and the mother's "front butt" from popping out those kids?

                        Eh lets say this, walking has kept me skinny as I am, and not everyone is uber skinny, then again I don't technically live IN Seattle and think the city is a drain on the rest of the county's resources... and I don't bike here for one big reason... the hills would kill me dead.

                        yay for needing to do light exercise....

                          Lupo, I was gonna skip my daily walk today, but you've inspired me. The commentary from that family was out of pure jealousy.

                            oh, so many comments to this one...about getting whistled at because you're thin? yeah, i've had something similar happen...in gradeschool my foster parents made me look ugly with haircuts and glasses and the way i dress and whatnot on purpose so i don't go on a middle-school-sex-rampage (others in my class did so it was a valid worry)...but in high school i turned into a little hot mama, and those that were horrible to me in middle school were sure sorry, because even though i was nice to them i told them that i wasn't interested (and went after the geeks that i liked, instead...confused the hell out of them!)
