Not having the best day today.
Got insulted in the supermarket carpark by a man who should honestly look in the mirror before he calls anyone anything! I called him a few choice things in return, some of them in English LOL, and could quite happily have slapped him. I figure he is just one of those people who should learn to engage their brain before they open their mouth. You hear so often about people being physically attacked out of the blue that it really isn't a good idea.
Since his comments included an attack on my size, on a day when I was feeling pleased with myself for the weight I have lost recently, it made me wonder why it is that it is rarely thin people who call someone fat. I am refering mainly to strangers since apart from the creature today who was himself large enough to be classed as obese I was once refered to as a fat cow by a woman I didn't know but who was almost twice the size of me. It makes me think that perhaps they are actually venting their feelings about themselves, or if in fact they merely kid themselves that they don't have a problem and either never see what their reflection is telling them or have one of those magic mirrors that make everyone look like a size zero.
I know I have weight issues but I don't need reminding every five minutes and not by people I don't know. I certainly wouldn't dream of throwing that kind of a comment at anyone. In fact I'm not sure that I even think of people as fat or skinny. I might think that someone needs to look in the mirror before they go out in a morning but that could just as easily be a badly dressed petite person as someone overweight. We are all human beings and all have feelings after all.
On a slightly lighter note today's picture is of a couple of thank you gifts I have made for two of the children I was crafting with the other weekend. I should be seeing them on Sunday so this evening I have decorated a couple of cardboard treasure boxes and made them a key charm each including name charms which are my first go with shrink plastic.
