That is incredible to show how judgemental people can be. But maybe your comments in response to here snide comments made her realize she needs to make a change!
I would have done way worse if it were me in your place, but great job taking a stand for yourself!
Your weight loss is inspiring and keep up the great work!

I am 39 years old and my mother would still kick my *kitten* if i forgot my manners like that. Sorry you had to deal with her.

So I made my weekly trip to the grocery store to stock up my yummy healthy foods. I was standing in the line waiting to pay for my fresh fruits and veggies, super lean turkey burger, fish, morning star items, frozen veggies, greek yogurt, nonfat cottage cheese, whole grain pasta, beans, etc. This woman (and I use that term lightly) behind me loudly says to her husband "You see? That's why I don't eat healthy...it's obviously not working for HER". Mind you this woman had probably 50 lbs on me, the cart was filled with TV dinners, fatty ground beef, beer (no problem with that, just making a point), tons of non-diet soda, sour cream, etc. The only veggies was some canned corn. I felt sorry for the husband cause he was trying to hide behind her when I did the dramatic slow-turn, gave her a hard-a$$ed stare, looked her up and down, and said "Actually, not that I would ever need to answer to you, but I have lost over 187 lbs eating this way. What's your excuse?"

I turned around and she starts grumbling to her husband "I bet she's so b!tchy because she is hungry" I turned around again and said "you know, one of the benefits of a healthy diet is 1. I am not deaf, so I can hear you, and 2. I am able to eat quite a bit more healthy food with lower calories than unhealthy calorie-dense food. I am never hungry, and in fact I am a generally happy person. Perhaps you should try it sometime, maybe then you won't be so irritable." I turned back around again to hear the husband tell her to shut her mouth before I rightfully punched her in the face. I have never been criticised for eating healthy...most people ask me for recipes when I am in line. Goes to show that the miserable ones aren't those of us on this site getting fit, but rather the rest of them wishing for a better life but not caring enough to persue it.

I appauled you for your loss and the way you handled the stuck up bi-otch in the grocery line........hats off to you keep up the great work..........

Oh my gosh, what a miserable ***** (excuse my language). I have always used the saying that misery loves company. Some people have the nerve. I would have let her have it. I commend you for keeping your cool. BTW, You look awsome, and you are beautiful, which is probably alot more than that woman at the grocery store. Wow, the nerve of people.

Bitzches are gonna bitzch. That's why they are bitzches. Just sayin...

True Elizabeth...she'll find a reason to b!tch no matter what

Seriously, this girl is a piece of garbage. She's obviously a miserable human being, and her husband probably thought you looked hawt.

All of the above.. You rock.!!!! I need more friends like you!!:drinker:

I have a friend (who lives in Idaho, too!) and she encounters this all of the time at the grocery store when she does her shopping. She's extremely healthy (has a fitness athlete type body), and every time she goes shopping someone comments on what she's buying - and she only eats clean - mostly veggies & protein and nothing processed. Must be something about being around here. Gr...

It sucks when people are ignorant.

I had a similar experience at the gym. I was doing interval running and some girl was behind me with her boyfriend, both going super slow on the bike, and I heard the girl lean over and say "Doesn't she know that she's not going to do anything by doing that? She's just going to stay fat." At the moment, I was between songs, so I heard her clear as day, and I glanced back to look at her. She was probably about 50 lbs heavier than me.

ETA: I'm not sure why people who are trying to get fit are so scared of the smaller people who are doing the same things as they are, for me, it's always the bigger ones that are mean. I know there are good and bad people in every group, but for me, when it comes to weightloss, the bigger people seem to be more vicious.

LOVE LOVE LOVE your answers!! I wouldn't have thought of anything witty to say until I'd driven halfway home.
