- What about that lady over there in Kmart, “Why the hell did she go out in that ugly outfit?”
- That overweight person giving running a try. “Who’s she/he kidding trying to run, it’s not going to help?!”
- That frazzled mum in Pak n Save, “Why doesn’t she shut those horrible kids the hell up?”
You get my drift.
- Maybe that fit chick in the booty shorts or the one in the itty bitty bikini has worked her ass off to look the way she does, and to be as fit as she is (I suspect this is the case for most fit women, it aint easy!!)
- Maybe the lady wearing “those horrible clothes” can’t afford to buy new ones and that is the best she has, or maybe she thought she looked lovely when she left home?
- That larger man/woman running? They’re doing more than anyone sitting on their ass doing nothing, and anything is going to help!! In fact, he or she is going to achieve more doing that “sad” attempt than you are sitting there laughing at them. Maybe she’s already lost a shit-tonne of weight doing what she’s doing?
- The mum with the horrendous kids in the supermarket? Have you honestly never been that mum? Seriously? Then you have no freakin idea, so shut up, cos it’s not fun!!!
Have you ever heard that saying “What other people think of you is none of your business”? Yeah? It’s true! And it works both ways. What you think of other people is all about you, not them.
This post isn’t to tell you how to change how you think about others. That’s on you. It’s about doing some thinking about how YOU can do that for YOURSELF. And how you might like yourself a bit more for it. I do. Those nasty thoughts about others seem to happen a whole lot less when you think more positively about yourself. Funny huh?
So. If you are guilty of a bit of this, how can you work to fix it? What can you do to think better about yourself, and in turn, about other people?
Let me know below!

I am the owner of MisFIT NZ ltd. A love of food and long standing laziness got me to the point of what I thought was no return – overweight, tired, grumpy, sad and never any energy. It took a good long look at the mirror and some serious self talk to get me back on track, and on a long journey back to health and happiness.
