That ^^ right there? is the best part of this post. *kitten* happen. You just have to figure out how best to live your life in the face of that fact. So glad you are going to get back out there.0 -

You are all kinds of awesome! Keep on going!1 -
Well done for getting back out there and not letting it derail you. I also vote for iPod/music/headphones. Sometimes when I'm running I wear the headphones even when I don't have my music turned up as I think it deters idiots from trying to get your attention.
Good luck on your journey!

Hurray for you!! That's awesome0 -
Absolutely disgusting behaviour, be yourself and don't let this get you down. Keep on walking and be proud0

This gets me so mad-- haters gonna hate, but I am so sorry that someone's ugliness and self-hatred was directed at you. As others have stated, this has everything to do with them and nothing to do with you. I am so glad that you are going to walk again tonight. Please imagine all of us on this thread walking right alongside you!0

Probably just stupid teenagers (not saying that they are all stupid, just the ones in this scenario). They are self-absorbed and more interested in showing off for one another. It's not about you. It's them.0

I must have thick skin, I soooo don't care a bit what people think of me. I care what I think of me, and what my family and friends think of me, but random trash on the street? Nope.
Some people are just d!cks. A few weeks ago I was riding my horse along the side of the road and a car load of idiots went past with one of them hanging his bare *kitten* out the window and the other two yelling abuse and beeping their horn. Lucky my horse is quiet.0 -
Hon you have a fantastic smile!! You just keep smiling and walking.0

Next time just give them the finger.2

I love that you kept on walking! You are a badass0

You are better than they are.
Walk tall and share your wonderful self with the world.0 -
People are trash. {{{hugs}}}0

*hugs* they're asshats.
I was jogging past a skate park once and some kid with all his mates there yelled "lose some weight, fatty!" I stopped, looked him dead in the eye and said "what the f**k does it look like I'm doing, captain obvious? Got any other life changing advice?" His mates cracked up and started giving him hell. Very satisfying moment.15 -
Just keep in mind that you're getting thinner and fitter, but that person will always be an *kitten*.0

The same person will harass a young girl, or make stupid jokes at a disabled person or someone with glasses and so on. It is not your problem he is an idiot. Do not let idiots run your life.2

Funny thing is, most of the people on MFP have been in your shoes at some point. In college I was on the parking deck and I had a group of beautiful girls drive by me and yell "Get out of the way you fat *fillintheblank*." Seriously, I felt so belittled at that moment because all of my insecurities were on display for everyone in the parking deck to see. I use these memories as a reminder of who I was. I love seeing overweight people doing yard work, going for walks, riding their bikes! Everyone should. Because it means they are working on improving their health, as we all should be, regardless of our size.2

Another music person here. I pop in my earbuds, set my phone on Pandora and stream oldies as I walk. Nobody can touch you when you're listening to James Brown and Aretha Franklin - R E S P E C T!

For the world is dark and full of *kitten*.
I don't get the drive to be actively, deliberately malicious to other people. I get slips and accidents and people not fully comprehending how offensive they are being (as maddening as it may be), but active assholery... it's truly disappointing.
"Hell is other people." It's true.
Steady on, friend. Don't let some idiot stop you from attaining your goals or just living your life the way you choose to.6
