Why would ANYONE make negative comments about anyone of any size doing something healthy like exercising?
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

No kidding. Quite apart from never speaking ill to strangers who are not hurting anyone being a thing...if you actually have the brainspace to negatively judge someone else's choices, wouldn't you want to be supportive.
Of course, shut the hell up is always a better option.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Not a good idea to tear down someone who's at least making an effort. As for criticizing what's in the grocery cart, only a good friend who's expressing concern for my welfare even has a chance of getting away with it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
In jr high a 'friend' of mine shouted at a jogger, "Keep running, honey!" I never spoke to her again.

We have a seasonal jogging surge around here several times per year. I will occasionally murmur a 'great job' to a struggling passerby. Mostly, I show my respect for the effort by briskly getting out of the way.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I read this column in Newsweek last year and it was inspiring.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
supermarkets are symbols of death.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I've had a few people comment on my grocery shopping cart contents in the past, usually by saying something like, "Don't you know that stuff isn't good for you? That's how you got the way you are!" Yes, this has happened more than once. I perfected the icy glare, but couldn't say anything to the second guy who told me that (the first time, I was too stunned) because he was an elderly man and I can't be rude to senior citizens, otherwise my dad would kill me.

Oh, an inside joke. Think of The Master's shouting "Mass Production!" and standing in front of 13 shelves with the same frakking product shoved into different packages. Everything's... too planned.
I die a little bit inside everytime I enter one. I know it's just me, though. Markets, however... markets are neat, if I'm up with being in a mass of people.

Well, planning leads to the store being consistently stocked, which makes it easier to actually shop for what one needs, instead of hoping it might be there this week.
But I am a creature of habit. I like to eat, which means I need to shop, and I like knowing that food will be there for me to exchange money for.
