I am so sorry these jackwads crossed your path. I have to admit that in my youth, I might have been one of them. "Fat chick" jokes were funny. But I've grown up. I've learned and I have great empathy for people. I feel bad for things I have said and done in the past, but we all can relate to that. Hopefully, those jackwads will grown up - somehow - and maybe come to realize how hurtful they have been in the past. Good for you for not taking it personally. You are inspiring.0

I'd be very tempted to hurt somebody.
This would be me, and as peaceful as I am I would honestly hurt them. At least I'm sure somehow Karma will eat me to it and take care of *kitten* like those.
To the OP, sorry you had to go thru that. And does weren't people, they're animals, the bad type of animals.0 -
I'd be lying if I said I wouldn' t have found the closest hard object on the ground and threw it in a certain jeeps direction.0

You, like so many others, mistake telling the truth with being cruel for the sake of it.
Someone hack your account?The real world is filled with cruelty like that.

There is a line people should never cross, and while it's true that obesity is a negative dilemma we face, nobody has the right to bully or kick sand in the face of people struggling. The converse of this is the fat acceptance movement that tells everybody to accept obesity. Both camps are way out of line.
I hate that you had to go through that, and as I write this, my heart is in my throat.
Thank you for sharing.
Too many people here personalize objective observations which is unfortunate.
As for this incident, I say this: beware cruel world.
One never knows what struggle another human being is going through or how close he may be to the crumbling edge.
People can snap like the lady did who burned her husband to death after he beat her time after time. Remember the movie The Burning Bed? True story.
Somebody mentioned "karma"?
Sometimes karma needs a little help.0 -
They're a bunch of worthless little pricks. I mean...why? Why would anyone want to purposely hurt a random stranger who's just living her life, walking to her car? It's a mentality I'll never understand.
(I had a similar incident a couple of years ago and came to vent on MFP, too. It definitely helps to share with people who have been there.)0 -

I walk with a cane, and you would be amazed how many people try to knock me over or push me aside. Today, I had some idiot try to run me over with his shopping cart.
We live in a world where kindness is in short supply. All I can do is pray for these ignorant people.0 -

Amen to that...
It's sad but there are more decent people than jerks like that! Keep your chin up everything will be fine....Keep on going!0 -
To be honest, the first, and only, thing I could do was stop walking. My jaw dropped. I've NEVER met anyone like that, and, while I've been bullied all throughout my middle/high school career, never by a complete and total stranger. I walked to my car, cried hysterically for about 20 minutes, and then realized what a waste of time it was.
My Nana always told me that no matter what size I was, as long as I had my friends and family, I'd have a happy and successful life. I have all that and more, so spending any more time on a group of ignorant idiots is pointless.
I texted my fiancee, told him what happened, and he got more angry about it than I did. Actually, I feel sorry for that group of kids, because they will never learn to look beyond a physical appearance and see someone for who they actually are, not what the size of their jeans are.
And for all of you who are defending the cats, I agree, lol. But some kittens can't help who adopts them. My kitty looks at me with this look, and I swear she's thinking "...really? Like...are you serious right now? This is the person who took me home!?" at least once a day, hah.
Thanks for the support guys. It means a lot!0 -
A holes seemed to be out in force today. Ran across a few on the way home from work.
It must be the full moon.
BTW, I'm across town from you.
I missed your post! You're right, not far at all!0 -
You're getting fit.
They're stupid. You can't fix stupid.
You win.0 -
Great post! I'm sorry that this happened to you. I can't stand ignorant people like that. You are 100% right. You will always be beautiful inside and out. You can always lose the weight but they will always be ugly on the inside. They may as well have rolled down the window and shouted, " I have low self esteem and a small ****!" What a bunch of losers. Hopefully they can see how it feels one day and actually grow up.0

People really are *kitten*. Sorry you had that experience - nothing anyone deserves, regardless of how much they weigh.0

DO you call saying "No one should walk around in a bikini with all that lard hanging out and feel good about it" an objective observation?0 -
awww I'm sorry you had to go thru that. They are jerks....try not to pay any mind to them. Try and have a great night!!! You are doing an amazing job!!!0

I am so sorry that happened to you. I had nearly the exactly same thing happen to me and 15years later it still bothers me. I don't think I ever told anyone that before. I hope that by venting and reading the responses here, you'll just be even more motivated to continue your journey!0

That sucks! Hope it doesn't ruin your night/weekend.

Take that energy and turn it around to your advantage. As much negativity as they tried to throw at you, swing that bat and knock it out of the park. You are on your way and nothing can stop you!0

I am SO sorry that happened to you. Be glad they drove off. If they'd stayed, they might have been violent bullies. Just as well they drove off, safer for you. You are young enough to be my granddaughter. Stuff like that hurts even us old ladies. I think probably we older women can set it aside faster for some reason. We tend to develop an inner peace of sorts. well, some older people do anyway. So, lose your weight, keep your health good, enjoy your life. Believe me, they are nothing to you. You are not the only person they did that to, and they'll do it again.
I knew a man about 20 years ago who told me about a girl he'd been party to bullying. He became the nicest man as he aged. He knew he'd hurt her feelings, badly. He said that if he could find her he would drop to the ground to beg her forgiveness, that knew knew deeply inside that he'd done a horrible thing. She likely turned out fine, and he did too, but she probably got over it. But he never did get over it. It bothered him the rest of his life. Not all the time, but when he would think of it, it hurt him deeply that he'd behaved that way.
hang in there. There is so much more to you than the number on the scale and your dress size. You have internal power.
Hugs, Janet0 -
People who do and say things like that are deeply unhappy with themselves and deeply unhappy with their lives. You're right to feel sorry for them, and don't give it another moment of your energy. I really like the above comment! ^0

seriously!!!! fat pig!!!! wow....i thought it was illegal in all states for children to be driving. how immature are they?
unfortunatly sweetheart, they are ALL OVER the place.....don't mind there stupid *kitten*.....0 -

I'm not so much worried about that. I lived with just my Dad from the time I was 12 until I moved out shortly after turning 21. He's paranoid because I am a daddy's girl through and through, plus I'm the oldest kid, plus I'm a girl, PLUS I had a habit of hanging out with some idiots when I was younger. He taught me how to defend myself if I ever needed to. And then I took karate for a couple years. I know a couple guys who will tell anyone they meet that I could easily throw down with them if I had to, lol. I just wish they would have stayed, so at least then I could say this all to their face.
All the same, hugs back to you, and thank you for the support!0 -
Sending hugs to you! Whenever I hear of such nastiness all I can think is that people who are truly happy don't need to mock or belittle others. People who put others down are themselves deeply unhappy and want to share their unhappiness with the world. Don't let them win!!! You are stronger than they are!!! Isn't it great that you can share with all of us and know that you have support (even all the way from little ol' New Zealand, he he!!!)!0

Wow. Just wow. Total -= expletive =- @$$. I am glad that you didn't let it get the better of you, I know I couldn't have been that could. I once had a guy ask me "aren't fat people supposed to be jolly?", I punched him in the face...
I probably would have done the same if someone asked me that. That's ridiculous.0 -
:flowerforyou: Yup, people suck. I see it every day in Philadelphia. People threatening to kill me for pulling too close to them while they are crossing the street, etc. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I can say just forget about it, but those kinds of hateful words always seem to linger with me, anyway. You are a beautiful human being, and they are simply not. Hang in there0

Too bad you didn't get a look at them so that when you're all hotter than you are now and they come up to you in a bar you can laugh at them. And you can politely say no thanks. Not go down to their level and make fun of their stupidity, just say not interested. What goes around comes around.0

Wow, that's so cool. Who's jolly now. Love it.0 -
You should be proud of yourself for being strong enough to NOT allow people like them get you down. I love your attitude. Words like that can definitely hurt sometimes, but karma will take care of them and YOU will continue to take care of YOU.0

What a horrible, horrible experience. I hope you can move on and realize a) they are wrong and b) their opinions/idiocy are completely worthless. I feel so bad for you and I know how it feels, I have been in so many similar situations. The only thing I can hope for is that these people are not the majority...I really think there are a lot of people out there who don't suck. I mean, look at all the lovely MFP folks who are sending you encouragement! We're really fabulous people! :happy:0
