Minor rant

I would not be offended by the comment. Some people are just ignorant and remember, you cannot turn ignorance on and off. :-) On the other hand, when I started losing weight, one concern of mine was that I did not want to look older than I am. For some people, as you get older, losing weight has a tendency to make you look older. (Not that weight loss is not a marvelous thing for many reasons, in particular, and most importantly, health reasons). However, no one wants to look older than they are if at all possible. Vain or not, it is what it is.0

Yes....telling someone you supposedly love he's fat is swelllll....after all the doctor said so! Doesn't matter what it may be doing to him mentally of emotionally.... After all, denigrating is in, amiright?
Sweetie, I laugh at all of MY shortcomings...I don't go an laugh at SOMEONE ELSE'S. Especially if that someone else isn't exactly comfortable with his/her shortcomings.
Joking is fine but both people have to be on the same page.0 -
Gosh there are some really mean people on these boards. And I don't mean the OP.
I personally think it was kind of a set up too, she obviously wanted to judge you otherwise she wouldn't have wanted to look at the photo. Who knows why people do the things they do? In retrospect you probably should have followed your instincts and not shown the photo, I wouldn't even tell people about a weight loss journey just let them all assume you've always been fit. Because as seen on these boards not everyone feels the same way. It's noboby's business but your own.0 -

Tell me more about all the mean people.0 -
Some people do look better with a tiny bit of excess weight, but not 200lbs. No one looks better at 200lbs than they do your size!
There are PLENTY of men who look damn fine at 200lbs.
Men are different from women. 200 is a fine weight for men, not for women.
Women don't look good "very muscular"
Plus, women don't have the hormones to bulk up(like men). The 200lb gook looking men are very bulky.
Nice. Thanks for your useless addition to this already very silly thread.0 -
Lol @ all men over 200 pounds are fat, regardless of their body fat percentage.
Keep up the good work mfp.0 -

Hey now...don't say MFP. Not everyone on MFP thinks like that. I'd hope this thread proved that as much as there is still a lot of ignorance to be found.0 -

STILL NOT OK (the body shaming just FYI)
Repeat after me
I will not be a judgemental, body shaming .................
Here is the thing, if that person is in front of me, I wouldn't say a word. But that's not attractive to me still.
So it's poor form to say it to their face but perfectly fine to say it behind their backs?
I see what kind of person you are now. Thanks for making it crystal clear.0 -
