People can be so cruel

Last weekend I received a text from a male friend that said fat people should go on a treadmill and take diet pills. I couldn't believe someone would ever be so mean to a pregnant woman. I found out shortly after that that this is common. People say things about pregnant women's weight like it's their right. This has really irritated me. I had a very bad week because this one text is all I have been able to focus on. I'm so sorry if other have had to endure ignorant like I have.

It's not just men that do this. Older women say these hurtful things to me as well. The funny thing is, I'm not overweight. They feel a sense of entitlement. Then they wonder why i ignore them and their "advice"

I agree with the last two... Who goes out of their way to be that rude? I come from a family who promotes the sentiment: if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
