    They are the people with the issues.

    You're doing something constructive. Keep on keeping on.

    Paula,

    This is my first day here at MFP. I'm just getting started on this journey. If you've lost 40 lbs (a BIG congratulations to you on that by the way), you're doing FANTASTIC!! Don't allow what ANYONE else says derail you.

    The world is full of ignorant, mean people. THEY are the ones that need help. Send them light and love and drop it!! You will feel better about it for not having let them get to you and for being the kinder person by wishing them well......Some day they will (most likely) be fighting the same battles that we are fighting today. Then they'll see how wrong, unfair, insensitive, mean etc., their comment to you was.

    Stay the course!! All the best to you!!

    Dont Worry about what other think. If you are making progress on your healthier lifestyle , Dont Quit. People will always find something negative to say about people , get encouragement from support positive people. STAY POSITIVE AND KEEP TRYING !

    Paula, you are doing something about it, you are out walking! Ignore any stupid dumb remarks you get and just do what you are doing so well.
    We are right behind you! X

    When I see someone walking or running or biking, regardless of their size I think "yeah, get it!"

    I don't understand why people have to be such pieces of *kitten* sometimes.

    Sorry that happened to you OP. :flowerforyou:

    I don't mind if someone says that I used to be fat, but if they say I am fat now (which really doesn't happen) I'd just tell them to go f*** themselves. I don't have any snarky response planned out.

    Consider the source. Anyone who'd yell that at a fellow human being doesn't deserve space on your mental hard drive.

    Do what you do for you. No one else gets a vote unless you give them one.

    Walk with headphones on so you can focus on positive stuff. Don't stop doing you no matter what, particularly some stranger.

    Next time, those mofos get the finger. Got it? They would yell something no matter what. Perfect illustration: one time I was walking with a friend in high school (we were a size 12 and a size 4 respectively) and some doofus yelled out his car that "You eat too much and you don't eat enough!"

    I see someone answered this: But you do need headphones and an mp3 player…if your not a techie do try to find someone to help out - dare to walk the same path & next time wear headphones.
    I used to get the opposite and guys would holler/whistle at me so I ranted to my aunt and lo and behold it stopped…significantly. I do not get cat calls with those things on and not too loud but a good listening volume..and ey you'll show them that you are LITERALLY not listening HEHE:flowerforyou:

    That says more about them than it does you! I bet they wouldn't say it to your face. Be proud of yourself, Mama. And hold your head high. People can be cruel. Don't even worry about it. You're awesome!

    So while you're a beautiful person full of goals and follow thru, who will a year or so from now, have achieved your goal, he will wake up on that same day, and on a good day for him, STILL be an *kitten*. Always and forever.

    never give them any of your energy... visible or hidden. it only feeds that thought form.

    let it be a reminder that you are on the right track and are well on your way to accomplishing your goals!

    also, those souls have 3 fingers pointing back at them when they point a finger at you in judgement... big karma on their way!

    So, Just came back from a 4.26 Mile walk, fairly brisk pace, think I'm doing pretty well, I've lost over 40 lbs, and while walking a car drove past & someone yelled out the window "WALK FASTER FATTY" Made me feel a little like all my hard work is nothing. Not sure if this makes me feel unmotivated, or more motivated to 'show them' Still trying to sort out my feelings right now and needed to vent!

    F**k 'em! They're hating on you because you are out being active, and they are being lazy driving their car. Ignore them and don't let them get to you! :D

    The only reason they yelled at you is because they were in a car and could get away easily. Which, you know, is a little laughable when they're suggesting you're the less fit between the two of you really. 40lbs is a wonderful achievement and that's quite the walk right there and you shouldn't be ashamed. At the end of the day, you're doing this to better yourself. They don't know your starting point, nor do they know who you are as a person. Don't let their superficial judgement have any sway in how you feel about yourself. Keep going. :)

    The best advice I ever got was this:

    "Someone elses opionion of you is none of your business."

    At the end of the day you are the better person. you are changing your life. Your opinion of yourself is what counts because if you don't have the confidence to be proud of your accomplishments and ignore the actions of negative people then it will eventually lead to failure. Stay strong, you clearly have that in you because of your success so far.

    Don't let pettiness win

    I remember getting whistled at when I was nine years old. It was really terrifying, and that plus many future catcalls were part of the reason I have always been ambivalent about losing weight. I like my armor you know. I think though your post makes me realize, they are not objective, selective, or even rational these haters. They are just trying to find someone they see as weak: maybe old, maybe fat, maybe young, and they pick on them to make themselves feel better. Some people just aren't worth their air you know. I am so jealous of your forty pounds. You're doing a fabulous job. You better keep striding or I might catch up. ; )

    Agree!

    Keep on walking and forget the haters. *HUG*

    I would have ignored them. They don't walk in your shoes. Keep doing what you are doing, for you. I would never let idiots affect me like that.

    Hi Paulawatkins1974,
    I feel your pain. I took my dad for a test at the hospital. When the discharge nurse was checking us out, she keep asking me how far along I was. I was so mad as I keep telling her, no I am not pregnant at all. She even went so far, as to rub and touch my tummy to make sure I was telling the truth. So I know first hand what it feels like and its no fun at all. I believe in karma and their time will come for being so mean.
