50 pounds down....basically.

So I wasn't going to post this for another 4 pounds but while I was riding my bike home from the gym someone yelled out their window calling me fat. I felt like I hadn't gotten anywhere and so discouraged at first but then I came home and sat in my room and just decided not to let it get to me because I have come so far and they're going on with their day like nothing happened so I should too. My weight and the fat on my body is temporary and no one is going to take away the confidence I have gained.
So here's a progress picture. 46 pounds in 3 and 1/2 months.

    People are mean to others because they are not happy themselves. Be proud of yourself - YOU ROCK!

    Ugh people like that are the worst. I think its very wise of you to go on with your life and keep progressing. Why should a shallow comment like that keep you down? LET YOUR HATERS BE YOUR MOTIVATORS!! And you look amazing, you will be the size you want soon!

    Congratulations! You're looking great! And I'm loving your confidence. That disgusting "person" is not worth your time/energy/emotions. Keep it up!

    The sheer rudeness of some people and their inability to even consider another person's feelings never ceases to amaze me; I'm sorry you had to deal with that and hear that as no one should ever be treated in such a manner.

    That being said, you are doing amazing work! And not only is there a difference in your appearance but obviously in your confidence as well for you to be able to "go on with your day" putting their worthless trash talk out of your mind (as it should be). Kudos to you for making it this far, and much hope, faith, and support for you to make it even farther!

    You know what they say. Overweight people can lose weight, but assho*les will always be assh*oles.

    Congrats on your loss. 50 pounds is something to be VERY proud of.

    I don't understand what people getting out of being mean to someone else.

    It is crazy to me that people would do that. When I see someone running, walking or biking past my house and I have the door open I yell, "GOOD JOB!" Maybe I am a bit of a dork, but I know how much it would mean to me if someone did that while I was walking, jogging or riding. Just keep up the great work. Riding your bike to and from the gym is amazing! What great dedication you have.

    you know what?

    It's entirely possible that people have yelled that at me countless times. However, I'm deaf. I guess there's an advantage!


    Sorry they were jerks, but you did great and the photos show it!

    You seem like you are doing a great job of taking care of yourself. You are losing weight, getting in shape, and your body is obviously transforming! Unfortunately, for that person you can't exercise or eat right away a terrible soul. Keep on pushing, lady. You are doing fantastic and you look wonderful!

    The stupidity of people never quits amazing me... in a not good way. I would just like to say that while to them you may be fat, but really you are beautiful because you are you. They don't know your struggle and they are probably sad or depressed on the inside too. It is just easier to point out others' problem areas or that they are "fat" because it makes them feel big and happy for a moment.

    Your progress is amazing and in such a short amount of time. I am so glad I saw your post tonight. I wasn't going to work out but now I am because I see what is possible. =)

    One last food for thought for you... you are making yourself better for you, just tune those haters out.. they have no idea. One day it very well could be them that is getting ridiculed and they won't be half as strong or successful as you. There's no cure for stupid.. just brush em off, I know it's hard but your progress speaks for itself. Good luck on your journey, one day today will be a distant memory. People are just so mean =(

    Keep your head up. Keep doing what you are doing cuz it is obviously working!

    I've seen too many posts like this one lately. Trying to figure out where these people are that say things like that because where I come from you just do NOT say anything like that. Now you may say "Bless her heart, she's trying so hard." or something to that effect, but you certainly don't shout rude remarks at people you don't know. Some people were just raised with no manners or tact. And that kind of person, is not worth wasting your time worrying over. You've got this.

    It was probably some kid who will end up fat himself one day and regret his words. At least, we can hope.

    You're making great progress. Don't let anyone discourage you!
