Is this normal?
Well this morning I decided to weigh myself just to see what the effects of my hellish Jillian Michaels workout was. Check this out, I lost 4 lbs! Weird!!! I weighed 270 lbs just a few days ago, and now I’m 266. I kept thinking it was b.s. but when I got to work I had to weigh in for the Biggest Loser contest we have going on and I did eat, and the scale still said I dropped 4 lbs. I am happy but hope it wasn’t water weight or anything cause that would suck. I do feel stronger though and sore as hell! Jillian knows how to really work a person.
Also I got a free Subway giftcard in the mail and I aced my midterm. So today did shape up to be a good day until I went walking to the bus stop. This guy told me that I looked liked someone he knew and I could have sworn I heard him say that I looked pregnant, which I assure you I don’t. Anyway, I thought I was maybe hearing things and then he said it again. I told him “It is extremely rude to tell someone who isn’t pregnant that they look pregnant. I don’t appreciate your comment.” And he said “Forgive me, I am from Africa and my English is terrible. I don’t mean anything bad by it. You are beautiful.” And I said “I don’t care. I think it’s in extremely poor taste to tell a complete stranger that they look pregnant.” And he said “Thank you for telling me this, I wasn’t aware of it.” And then get this, he proceeds to tell me how he’s homeless and that people think he’s gay. The thing that made me tell him to f*ck off was he started telling me he had sex with someone to prove he’s not gay. Um…why do I want to hear this? I told him, “I think you need to leave me alone. I don’t care for your conversation. And if you don’t you’ll force me to beat the shit out of you.” and he said “Ok, I’ll go.” UHH!! Why do I have to deal with this kind of crap on a day when I felt good!!! I sometimes hate people.
It sucks when you had a crappy day, and then you finally build yourself to have a great day and then someone totally sh*ts on it. I am not totally feeling bad cause he had really bad b.o. and look at the type person he is. All I can say is karma is a bitch, but since that guy is homeless, I don’t know how much worse it can get than that…

Wow, I never run into this kind of conversation. I need to get out more. ;o)
Congrats on your successes.

Well done on the 4lbs. It is a lot for one week, so don’t be disheartened if the scale doesn’t move much over the next couple of weeks.
As for that chap who accosted you at the bus stop, just ignore it. There are weirdos the world over, and just take it as a compliment you have the sort of personna that makes you seem approachable. Sometimes you have to be a bit blunt to get your message across.
Well done for acing your midterm, and lucky you for getting that giftcard in the post. Consider that chap just a wee cloud on an otherwise sunny day and blow him out of your mind just as the wind can blow away the occasional cloud.
Thank you so much Juliette! You truly made my day!
