The Hall of Shame ~ Part XX

Happy Spring everyone! I hope that this blog finds you all happy and healthy . . . I know that I am feeling particularly buoyant at the change in season. Naturally I am sure that it has a lot to do with my awesome life, but that’s neither here nor there! ;)

I have another installment of the Hall of Shame for you today . . . and since it just came in last night, I couldn’t keep it to myself! It’s rather amusing to me that I have started to get snarky emails from people so quickly related to my weight loss . . . I had several friends warn me that I would get them, but I never expected them to start so soon. But, now that they have, I confess that I am truly surprised at the tone of the messages . . . and how truly bizarre some people are. Realistically, people are supposed to be supportive when you lose weight, regardless of how you do it, not try to drag you down. So, to those people that aren’t going to like me in a smaller size, you may want to make a note and delete me now . . . because it is a reality.

This guy, who I swear that I do not know in real life, was on my MySpace page for about three years (at least according to him). We used to send occasional email messages . . . but never anything particularly personal and we NEVER had a romantic relationship, which is why his message below was so freakish to me. How he wasted so much time on me I will never understand, but that’s his issue too. Obviously, his name has been changed to protect the insane . . . but he is a real person . . . and if you are on my MySpace friends list and are a BBW, he might be on yours too! He was notorious for going through friend lists and adding other BBWs that he thinks are attractive. Overall he is harmless . . . at least until you try to get skinny! *evil laugh*

Enjoy!

Dear Jenny,
It pains me to write this, but I am going to be deleting you from my page after three years. I see a lot of things going on that I do not like at all and I’m not sure what is going on. What did you do? You are not looking like yourself and I don’t know what to say about that. I thought you were a proud BBW, which is why I was drawn to you, but it appears I was wrong. I’m sorry now that I wasted so much time with you because you are just like everyone else turning aside from your friends when you learn you have a pretty face. It isn’t up for debate, but I wanted to explain.
Be well,
A-Hole

Dear A-Hole:

It’s rather interesting to me that you feel you have the privilege to determine what compromises a proud BBW. The last time that I checked, you were not a card-carrying member of the Fat Acceptance movement . . . so perhaps you jump down off of your soapbox and get a grip on reality. No one really cares about your pathetic little opinion . . . certainly not me! Do you think that I needed an explanation for why you were deleting me or that I would have even missed you from my page? I can assure you that I would neither have missed you nor would I have suffered mental anguish from never knowing why I was axed from your life.

And since when do I need to check in with anyone about things that I do with my life? Do I need to now ask permission with my status message before I change my hair? Or buy a new pair of shoes? I think that your sense of entitlement has slipped into a world of delusion and you might want to try to take a step into the real world for a second. You do not know anything about me or about my life . . . nor would you ever have the right to comment on any decisions that I make about it. I have always been proud of the person that I am – regardless of my weight. Big or small I am always going to be an AMAZING woman. You are not going to be able to disparage me with your small mind and even smaller words.

Want to know what I really think? I am ecstatic that you are going to take your little fat fetish elsewhere . . . because I’m not any more interested in it now than I was three years ago when you became my ‘friend’.

In closing, I would wish you well . . . but you have to know that you don’t deserve it. But, you have now earned yourself a place in my illustrious Hall of Shame blog series. Enjoy your shining moment of glory! Somehow, I think it will be the only five seconds of fame that your lifetime will bring.

Jenny
