I walked 2 miles this morning and while I was walking along the HWY some crule guys decided to yell out the window at me. I was listening to my music but I all could understand was they were telling me to run. Why do people have to be some crule and mean. I know I am not skinny and good looking when I work out but you know what at least I am trying and doing something to change it.

It is ok, they can laugh and make fun of me. I know who I am and I know that I am better than that and I will succeed in this one way or another. We are all here for a reason and I am and can do this, even if others make fun of me on my journey. It will be ok. For at least I did my first 2 miles of my 365 miles in 365 days. I am proud and I am not going to let someone else's words bring me down. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strenght.

    When someone makes fun of someone else it rarely has much to do with the person being made fun of. It's because the person making fun as issues with themselves and they think that dragging others down will someone how make them seem more than they are. But all really does is show what a small needy person they are.

    You are correct. You can do it. They are no more than a nasty bug on the windshield. Icky, you wish it weren't there, but overall meaningless.

    It's awesome that you didn't let it get you down. Is it possible they weren't actually being cruel though? Maybe they were just being goofy and cheering you on? Maybe they would have done it to anyone that was running? Regardless, keep up the great work!

    there will always be jerks out there no matter what size we are. i've been yelled at for all kinds of reasons whether i was overweight or more in shape. just know that you are the better person and trying to do something to be healthy. they are just jerks who are doing nothing to quit being jerks.
