There really is a card for everything (bleh)

(trigger warning weight loss bullshit)

This morning I went to CVS with Tiger, he needed a greeting card; and I needed to find a  few last minute things for burning man. (did you know single ply toilet paper is really difficult to find?)

We split ways and I went off and found some containers and cooking utensils.
When I was done I went to join back up with Tiger, and promptly found him in the card section, he was having trouble finding just the right card, so I told him there was a whole other aisle full of card.
We went over and started browsing. And then I see this this bull shit:

That's the face I made.



Tiger can see i'm mad and then sees why. I whip out my phone and take a photo of the tag.

I wasn't even going to read the stupid card till he asked what it said.
I didn't think to look, because what difference does it make what it says?!?
It's fucked up and rude and really tacky.
But curiosity of how bad it really could be took over, and I decided to look and got even more mad.

Front

Fuck You
Words can't even express the full amount of irritation and ire I feel.
Who the fuck gives this card? All I can imagine is an office giving this to someone and them feeling like shit.
Cause I know I would, feel like crap.

I did infact lose about 60  pounds a few years ago; and I was down right hostile any time someone brought it up. People would say what they thought were complimentary things to me about how good I looked , and all I could do was retort about how I was glad that when they thought I looked like shit, they never said anything.
Or that I was the same person and really not happy about how they were objectifying my appearance. 
No one ever knows what to say to that kind of thing.
So this card made me very angry.


So here: I gift you someone else art for a Pam from archer paper doll. Because I love pam and her sense of humor. She is fat, funny and ok in her own skin. TV needs more naked fat ladies!
