Ok, so I was talking to someone, who has never met me in person, about eating disorders. He was saying how he’s totally disgusted by fat people, and how they’re just lazy and are always making excuses. I was almost in tears because I have been struggling my entire life with COE and he made me feel totally worthless. I tried to explain to him how it’s more of an emotional thing. But he insisted that fat people shouldn’t care what other people think and they should just lose weight at all costs. It just got me thinking that maybe I’ve just been complicating everything. It also made me lose faith in humanity a little bit! So, I’m having issues with self worth vs. self control. As in, is it all in my head? And I ding ANYTHING right?

Judgemental people suck. There’s nothing you can do about it, but maybe think about who you want to add to your inner circle. :)

People are judgmental.  I know I am.  I think that is why being judged by others hurts so much, because inside we know we are doing it to others and causing a similar pain.  We are harsh in judging our own selves as well.  It hurts, and at times becomes unbearable, so we turn to whatever that voice in our heads makes us do to compensate, or even twist the knife in a little further. Perhaps our judgments differ…race, creed, size, economics, social class, behavior.  But I am fairly convinced that most people in our country do a fair share of judging.  I have found it so very helpful when faced with a judgmental situation to accept myself for whatever state I am currently in and realize that the person judging me is not without fault.  Know yourself.  Own your thoughts and behaviors.  It is okay to be proud of who you are…if you are true to yourself.
