It was Thursday night and our mass just ended. As I was walking out of our churchyard, this old lady from our church, (she's one of my husband’s church acquaintances but I really don’t know her that much, I don’t even know her name), she walked beside me and asked me something about church stuff, after that, she suddenly blurted these intruding rude advice I didn’t asked for, she said, "you know what, you can use Colgate toothpaste to dry your pimples" I was shocked, I felt humiliated, irritated and at the same time! But then I tried to be calm, and told her, "Oh..I see..Well I can t just do that, I have pimples because of my illness". I can’t mention that I have PCOS, were on the sidewalk, and were not close. But then she the next she said, really irritated me. "Oh no, you should try it, I had lots of pimples before, and I used it, I’m now ok!” Stupid old woman! She doesn’t even have a college degree to say that, and she’s not even my friend! I bet she doesn’t even know my name to tell all this crap?! I said, this time in a not so friendly tone of my voice, "I really can’t do all that right now, because, I AM SICK, ok?". I think she got it now, because she suddenly became quite and I stopped talking to her, and she went ahead and walk with her husband. I’m so pissed, I walked ahead with them and gave her the nasty look.
I felt good after our church worship and suddenly my mood turned upside down because of that rude old woman! I texted my husband and told him about it. He only said that she was just concerned and kept assuring me that I don’t have to feel bad about myself because I looked all fine. But really, I still feel crappy about myself. It’s always hard for me to bounce back from adversities. I felt like I’m being looked at, being scrutinized for being fat. I need to heal from this PCOS, because of this PCOS, I have pimples. I need to lose weight, because of this weight, I’m being laughed at.
These weight loss products should work, or I’m going to make it work! I'm now taking a protein shake twice, as a meal replacement for breakfast and dinner, I’m also taking this aloe extract to take out the toxins in my body. I really hope this will help me for weight loss, and also to treat my pimples and my PCOS too. I really hope that it can make me happy and healthy too....
Hmm which one is worse, unsolicited advice from a stranger or from your own mother? hm...difficult huh?!heheh!

Ugh! I was getting mad just reading this. I know the old lady was probably just trying to help. But none the less, you had a right to gt upset. That would have ruined my day for sure! Keep your head up honey! :)

Words are so powerful, it can either destroy you, or sometimes it can make you smile..
