Anyone else gain weight hoping it would protect against rape?

     When I was in my twenties, hanging out with friends, I would dress provocatively.  I admit, I had big breasts and was not afraid to show cleavage.  Then one day, mom shouts "you dress to provocative, YOU'RE going to get raped? At this time I had a nice body.  Some would call it a figure eight, big breast, small waist and somewhat of a butt.😜  I could see the fear and worry in her eyes.  Her fear almost became my reality.  I was walking one day.  A Latino man came running beside me and said, "Don't come this way anymore, they are planning to rape you."  From that day on, I decided to cover up.  Then I made the conscience decision to gain weight! I thought if I gained weight, I would be unattractive and no one would rape me.
     It want until years later and after research, I discovered rape wasn't about attractiveness but moreso POWER.  It's about the attacker taking control over its victim.  I was just wondering if anyone ever had the same fear. 
     Working out can actually help you. You can actually gain endurance and strength to run or fight your attacker.
Gaining weight to appear less attractive is synonymous with dumbing yourself down to date someone.  Don't hide your beauty or intelligence.  Shine!

    Yes I think that a lot of women feel that same way, but it's about power and how much power they take away from you also.

      Thanks for commenting. You are definitely correct about how much they take away from the victim.

So, you think you are raising a respectful child? Think again!

SO, You think you are raising a respectful child?  THINK AGAIN      I recently took a break from nursing and started substitute teaching.  I mean why not, I love children.  Hunty!! Listen, Get yo Chile! Get some tea while you are at it and sit down because we need to chat! I went into a first grade class room feeling like these are the ones I would have a greater impact on.  They are corrigable at this age right? RIGHT??  🤤🤤🤤      The day started out well.  I was able to follow the curriculum somewhat.  By noon, I swore they were sundowning.😁😁. They would not listen for NOTHING!  Most adults would say... "They are six and seven year olds".  This is true.  However, times are a changing.  I will tell you why.      I used to be afraid for any adult to call my parents because there was sure to be some type of reprimand.  When my parents said, "Close your mouth when adults are speaking", they meant it.  Something about that village, it kept children in line!

He finished 21st Let me say first that I respect him and applaud his finish. Afterall, the slogan is "Finish Strong". No one said you have to finish clean !😂😂😂     To those that don't know of him, you have question.  Why did this happen? and How can I prevent this from happening to me? Well, Holy Crap! I got info for you.       First, if you have any abdominal ailments such as Irritable Bowel Syndrsome or  Chron's Disease, these may be triggers while running. According to, TheMayo Clinic, some other possible cause may include: movement of the organs, decreased blood flow to the intestines, changes in the intestinal hormone secretion and preface anxiety or stress.  As with anything, get a physical beforehand.        After, you have been medically cleared to run, Prep! Prep! Prep! Yes, preparation is key
