I am concerned about that photo. Is this a positive thing to do? As the population ages we have to keep in mind that we do not stigmatize elders in our own reactions. It likely was not her age that made her crabby and negative. Who knows why she targeted you but I was disappointed in the use of the photo. Jimmy,

It sure wouldn't have been so painful. :) In a sadistic sorta way, I’m glad she did what she did…although she could have accomplished the same thing I think had she told me how GREAT a writer I was at the time.

I guess I just didn't love it enough. When my 10th grade writing teacher wanted me to enter a poetry contest after reading some of my stuff I decided not to enter. Maybe I was too afraid of rejection, who knows. Had already had enough rejection at that point to try to avoid any more. So, though I did good in my classes, I never gave it my all. Just sort of coasted thru high school. Then in college I really buckled down and made Deans list and got straight A's in all my classes. Who knew? But I am glad you did not let that nasty old teacher beat you down. I guess you showed her. But maybe she did it on purpose to motivate you to be better, ya think? Never know, God moves in mysterious ways His wonders to perform! Cathy Jimmy, English was my love in school. I guess I just didn’t love it enough.

The good thing is I overcame but not everyone is that strong. Hang in there with your diet and try to resist the temptation to change anything. You may just be adjusting, so don't be too quick to try to change something. Patience, my friend, patience. :) THANKS Esther. The good thing is I overcame but not everyone is that strong.

Mine was the worst of all my school years. I can still "feel" and hear the humiliation she'd put on people, especially one poor boy in our class. Thank you for sharing such a personal story and what wonderful example of rising above the criticism/circumstances. You are truly an inspiration to us to not give up. The "tweaking" I did to my diet last week didn't help (and I gained a pound), so now I've got to do something different. Thanks for all your help...and by the way, CONGRATULATIONS on all your accomplishments! :) Wow, what is it with these 8th grade English teachers? Mine was the worst of all my school years.

NAH! :P I understand your reasoning for keeping mum about your weight loss and smoking cessation efforts, Sharon! It's understandable and I cheer you on to GREAT success! GO GET 'EM GIRL!!! :D Sounds like your son got the same motivation that I did…and in a sick, sadistic sorta way I suppose I should be THANKING that 8th grade teacher now. NAH! :P

Well, he showed her! He's a medic in the National Guard, seen one deployment, full-time sheriff's dept. dispatcher, volunteer firefighter (leutenant), EMT and first responder. Sometimes teaches classes in the above. Also, married with two toddlers and owns a house. SSoooo, he's still showing her!He's a mere 26 years old and has done more for the human race than many ever will. Okay, enough of my boasting ;-)..........This topic is sort of why I'm not telling people that I'm once again losing weight and trying to quit smoking. yadda yadda yadda they've all seen me before. BUT, THIS TIME IS DIFFERENT. IT'S FOREVER AND I DON'T REALLY CARE WHAT ANYBODY THINKS. I'LL PROVE EVERYBODY WRONG AND I'M DOING IT FOR ME!
