At least you probably lost weight

I have not written about my pet peeves or a particular pet peeve in a while. I’ve vacilitated between being stuck in a mud rut and being aspirational. Sometimes, both simultaneously. Today, I want to be peeved.

One of my biggest pet peeves ever is the ridiculous reesponse some people have to when one is sick. Many times I will hear “at least you probably lost weight”. I need to shake my head at that one.

More often than night, I will not have lost weight and I state so accordingly. They then are perplexed seemingly confused and thinking I’m a failure. I have a slow metabolism. Plus, losing weight while sick probably means I went through some bad stuff that put me in great potential harm. And even if I did lose weight, does that mean I get so sympathy?

This is no way to really try to comfort a sick person. Compassion should come before adhering to perhaps unhealthy standards of beauty.

    The Same at the
    Big Forest State Park
    Where i Live It’s the Oldest

    Religion Love and It Doesn’t Have
    An Equity of Outcome in Only LiGHT

    Every Aspect of Life Even Negative And
    Positive Synchroncities too Yes True There

    Is the Opposite Affects of “Prayerful Placebo” For
    Effects in Belief of Positive Outcomes As the ‘Nocebo’
    Effect of ‘Debby Downer Life’ Too For Ill Outcomes Soon

    Yet True Even A Darker Place of ‘REAL EVIL’ IN ACTION

    TOO WHERE IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO HAVE
    SYMPATHY FOR HUMANS IN DEVIL AND DEMON FORM TRUE

    Yet Still The Inability to Feel Oxytocin Without A Warm Bond With Human
    Beings Truly is A Worst Kind of ‘Mental Illness’ That Some Are Born With
    Congenitally From Birth Yes the Meme and Reality of ‘Psychopathy’ Where

    (Lack/Loss of Empathy/Conscience too)

    in my High School

    When i Was A Sophomore
    Changed the Rules to Get
    Into the National Honor Society
    For me and A Young Woman Peer in School

    True it was Always Junior Per Requirements

    my Father Ran Away to
    Marry A Wife to Make
    Money More than Raise
    Children Of Love When i was 3;
    How Very Fortunate i Was in the
    Way of Love At Least That He Went
    Away took me 53 Years to Get the
    Fearless Inheritance of my Daddy for
    Real as i had to be my own Father to

    Do it *Sigh*)

    As It Was Pretty Much
    All Innate and Inherent
    And An Intuitive Natural Humane Love to Do…

    That True Not All Folks Share That True Some

    Folks Don’t Even Have It As Gift At All i Have to
    Be Careful never to turn into a Villain As Strong
    As An Orangutan Empirically So Still Leg Pressing

    Fantasy that
    i could Have

    Been in that
    Store And Sailed
    Right into that ‘Demon’

    And Shattered Him into
    A Million Pieces of Oblivion

    Yet i understand That’s Where

    He Already Lives Dead as i’ve Been
    to Oblivion too Fortunately my Mother

    Gave me Love And Fortunately She

    Didn’t Give me Guns For Christmas to Shoot Love…

    (Or me With the REAL SUICIDE DISEASE FOR 66 Months)

    Anyway Life is Very Messy And Always Worth the Effort

    Someone
    Else Up

    And

    When We
    See the Child

    Who Sits Alone

    At School It Can’t Hurt

    to At Least Add a Word of Kindness to Their Life

    True i’ve Been a Child Who No one wanted to

    At Work As Oddly Enough Working for

    the Military And in ‘A Deep South State

    Kindness’

    Was/Still is Practically

    Considered A Mortal Sin…

  3. My pet peeve about weight loss comments is this:”You look great! Have you lost weight?” The implications is that losing weight is desirable and will make me look better! I hate that. If I lose weight it is because I am unwell or stressed. I’m a skinny person to start off with and losing weight is NOT something I want to do.
