Today was the first time I've ever been called a fatty.

In my entire life of being overweight (roughly ten years now), I've never been blatantly told that I'm fat. Curvy, yes. A little chubby, yes.

A male co-worker of mine was joking around about craving some cookie dough, and when a female co-worker of mine asked what we were talking about, he said, "Don't worry about it, (name), I'm talking to a fatty about something."

I feel numb. I can't even cry.
I feel like saying, screw you.

You can fix fat. You can't fix ugly. :angry:

It's not in my nature though. Why bother wasting my energy?
I feel so ugly now though. I feel like everyone sees me as this walking pocket of fat.

I want to just get on the treadmill and run forever.

    Don't let one jerk bring you down. He isn't worth your time or attention, so don't give them to him. You are fine.

    ^This.

    He's a jerk. There are LOADS of them on this planet. Most are that way because they have their own issues.

    Sorry you had to witness that ridiculousness.

    He's an idiot! There is more to you than what your body looks like today. Every one of us on this sight is working hard to get in shape and live a healthier lifestyle. You have the support and kindness of thousands of us. Don't let one moron ruin your day. I do understand your need to vent, and you came to the right place! We all think your co-worker is a jerk now :)

    People that say such things are insecure in their own skin so they like to pick out flaws in others. Arrogant, mindless fools. Ignore them and when you feel down, come on here and chat to us....the people that know that it takes guts, determination and a ****load of strength to go on the journey we are on. The same idiot will probably want your number soon, then Id tell him to shove it!! :-)) BTW...you are NOT ugly!

    Some people are so insensitive. A friend called me that once. Funny thing is.... I was always in better shape than him. The moment I gained and he was the same... he took the shot at me. Guess what? Im looking decent again and he is ballooning. Karma.

    He's an *kitten*.

    Sadly, someone called me something similar at the gym about two months ago completely unsolicited. She told me point blank that I was "too fat to squat" and looked "disgusting" trying to squat. It was excruciatingly painful to hear. I just wanted to crawl in a hole and die.

    Just don't give up. You're not doing this for them. You're doing it for you. Remember that every time you think of how much this hurt you.

    I'm so sorry that your coworker is so blatantly stupid!

    He's not worth the tears anyway. Running on the tredmill can only help (that's how I get out my stresses, too). But don't overdo it because of that comment!

    P.S. You're not a fatty. He's a douche.

    He's pretty pathetic if you ask me. That's something a guy would pull in junior high and if the female co-worker has even 1 brain cell, she'll see him for what he is.

    Don't worry about him...there will always be people who try to 'rise above' by climbing all over others, you can do him one better by living a life others look up to.

    Hey kmuree I am sorry to hear that someone is that insensitive. Hey, just keep doing what you are doing. None of us are perfect...at least those of us who are maybe a bit overweight are here at MyFitnessPal trying to do better. Do not let the evil words of another person hurt you. They are only showing their ignorance!

    You were working out to fix the weight issue. He can't fix that he's a jerk. Either one of these idiots can't fix that without a lot of compassion training or having to really deal with some issue similarly.
