Ran a mile for the first time...and got laughed at for being fat during it.

I've never been skinny but not having access to a gym for all of quarantine + a break up and other life events led to a lot of weight gain over the past 8 months. I've decided to start running while I get my health back in order and went out today for the first time. I wore headphones but wasn't listening to anything, and I heard two girls laughing at me and one say "look at that fat girl!". I heard it very clearly and felt completely mortified, but there was nothing to do about it other than to just keep going. Before, I would've been likely to walk home and hide and binge eat out of shame/punishment/whatever else. But instead I kept running, made it home, and had a salad and a protein shake.

So I did it, I ran a mile and it took me 14 minutes but I did it and I feel good about it. My feelings are hurt but fuck those girls and I hope I keep running past them every day so they can watch me work and improve while they enjoy their stagnant, petty lives
