I decided on taking Milo on a slightly busier route then yesterday, so I got us both ready to head out. The walk started off with me very happy and smiley, enjoying the sunshine and my surroundings. We then got to the main road, where there is a roundabout. I had to stop to remove a stone that was stuck in my flip flop and was digging into my foot. As I had just started to carry on walking, there was queueing traffic to my right, at the roundabout. The traffic started moving and something made me look up at these cars. As I did, a grown man, yes a grown man, stuck his head out the window, looked at me and shouted "Lose some weight, you fat c**t!"
It took me a while to process what he had actually said to me, I was frozen to the spot and started to cry! I then walked as fast as I could to get away from the busy roundabout. I changed my route to a much quieter route, where I knew I wouldn't bump into anyone else, wouldn't be confronted with such cruel behaviour from others!
I am left feeling worthless, fat, ugly, scared of going out by myself, like I am being punished for something.
How do I start to overcome all of these things if this is what I am faced with when I go out by myself? It never happens when I am with my husband. Why do grown men and women think it is acceptable to pick on a vulnerable lady by herself?! Do they not think I have feelings too?
I cannot let this incident set me back! I am going to try my hardest to beat these bullies and show them, I am worthy of happiness, no matter how hard it may be!
