Hurtful comments towards my appearance.

You look great. I agree tho, the eyeliner doesn't suit

First off, don't take other people's opinions too much to heart. ESPECIALLY if their comments are mean spirited or if these people are not super close to you. Second, I think you're a cutie. You look a little like my daughter actually. She is very small and skinny and has the same face shape. About your appearance- in this photo, you DO look a little pale or washed out to me. I think part of that may be due to your makeup. I think your liner is a too heavy and dark and your lips or cheeks could use a touch of subtle color- think lip balm with a little bit of a tint. it's also possible you may have some extra skin going on after the weight loss, and even if you're a healthy weight it could be making you look "wasted away". You do almost look hungry in this picture, but I think mostly you just look unsure of yourself. You don't need other people's approval, just your own. Congratulations on the weight loss and make sure you continue to get a well rounded diet that includes healthy fats- such as avocados, olives/olive oil, nuts, etc.

So.....you made a brand new MFP account just to drop this little turd and run? Interesting.

It seems fitting lately.

@Krisstastic_ Several points have been made about motivation for these comments. If these people have watched your progress, it is possible that they are just not used to seeing how you look now. Don't let their hurtful comments ruin your success. It takes a lot of dedication to make the progress you have.

You look young, some of that skin you are worried about may bounce back yet, so don't completely count that out as a possibility. If it doesn't you still look amazing. You should be so proud of yourself.

You look cute as a button, eyeliner and all. Don't let the *kittens* get you down.

Heck no! You look good! You keep on doing you!

You look great!! If they have the audacity to say something again look them right in the eye and say "what an unkind thing to say." I bet they will look away first.

I actually second this. I am only just beginning to realize the power of calling out someone's rudeness, and forcing them to maintain eye contact until they break. Psychologically it's very uncomfortable to the other person, and they will avoid it (and their nasty comments) in the future.

You look fantastic! Don't listen to unkind people, they are just jealous!! Congratulations on a job well done!!!!

If they knew you before you lost weight then realize they still have a mental picture of you with the weight. When what you look like now and what you looked like in their head conflict they will see you, looking perfectly healthy, as being unhealthy. In time they will get used to it. In the mean time, ignore them, you look amazing.

What a couple of jealous B's! You look quite lovely and the before/after photos show your hard work. You are at a healthy weight for your height. Also, as another poster said - LOVE Love your tattoo! Just consider those stupid comments as one more pin in your heart that will just make you stronger!

Mean people suck.

Congratulations on your success! You look beautiful, not sickly or guant. Those bishes were probably jealous. Don't let the haters get you down.

A couple points you're very attractive young lady you look fine very cute.
The next thing since you're young you'll learn this as you get older a lot of people are just bitter *kitten*. When they look at you they're jealous of the work you've put in or without knowing the amount of work you put in to make themselves better they try to put you down.
As one of the previous posters have said we live in a generation where overweight is becoming normal and when your normal you stick out

Congrats on what you've done and enjoy your life

You look great! Sounds to me like someone is more than a little jealous of your success. Just shake it off. You should be proud of your success.

I would have replied with the phone number for the nearest eye doctor and suggest that they make an appointment.

Also ignore the comment about looking pale, need lip tint, blah blah blah. You don't need to change a thing.

Don't let them get to you. You have made a lot of progress and you should be very proud of yourself.

You look great to me. Those before and after pics are awesome! There's a thread that went around here last week about fit shaming I encourage you to check out. I'm guessing the offensive parties were jealous of your success and felt the need to bring you down to feel better about themselves. Hold your head high and be proud of your hard work.

You. Are. Adorable. Please don't let what others hurtful comments bring you down - it's jealousy, or who knows what else - but those who matter in your life and TRULY LOVE YOU - will just support you. Chin up!! xo

Thanks for the make up tips, i apologize for not being tanned? i dont really know how to respond to that comment.

You know... that was her 1st post ever? And please disregard HER comments as well as they were rude. You are not too skinny, you look lovely and your makeup is perfect. What a weirdo (her, not you!!).

Congrats on the weight loss! They're just jealous. Many people in my life started making hurtful comments once I lost a lot of weight (359lbs at my heaviest, 170 at lightest, 200 now losing again). They judge themselves based on how much you weigh, as in they feel okay as long as they can still look down at you for your weight. When you pass them up (down?) on the scale it forces them to look at their overall health and size honestly. They change their tune quickly from "No one cares how much you weigh" to "OMG I must be so fat and ugly if even YOU weigh less than me". I've heard that so many times. True colors come out. Keep your chin up, you look beautiful.

Her eyeliner is fine, and she is lovely. Back off.

139 is the weight you are and people have to get used to seeing the "new" you!

I'm 5'1" and weigh about 120...... You are saving your knees, hips and health by losing the extra weight.

Stay Strong.

amy_kee

They are just not used to the way you look now. You know you look good, so, try not to internalize what they say. You are young and you will hear lots of things throughout your life. Just work on being self confident, then, nothing anybody says will really get to you.

Kris, you look amazing and wear your eyeliner how ever you want. Some people are just idiots!

madguru7

Well that's just a terrible thing to say to someone. They should be ashamed. Perhaps they're jealous of your accomplishment? You need to be happy with the new you. I see you smiling in those two recent pics. Keep smiling. You look happy and healthy. Congrats on the weight loss.

Omg you are so adorable and cute and beautiful!!

I am looking at you -- very hard -- very critically. Searching for anything negative about you. And finding nothing but a beautiful woman. Sorry, but your critics need eye surgery and they need someone to grab their tongues, while they're talking, and yank real hard.

Here are some things the Irish might say to them:
May they never have enough friends to fill a preschool bathroom stall.
May they find bees but never any honey.
May their spuds be smaller than holly berries and only as edible.

Some people always have something negative to say. Probably just projecting their insecurities onto you. You look great and should be proud of your weight loss

You do look different from before. Your cheeks do not look too thin. Your eyes do not look sunken. If they do not see you often they may be surprised at the change. In no way do you look sick though.
