So...he does that and I'm the douche because I shared his public picture? How does that work?0

Wow, that's pretty crappy of that guy. I don't get why he thinks that's okay.0

Well, you may be overweight, but he's a *kitten*. You can lose weight. He'll STILL be a *kitten*. Oh and that old pic of him looks like a wannabe porn star! LOL0

Hammer you are always going to have small minded people "Haters" who want to mess with those who are doing better for themselves. Take this an accomplishment.....someone is taking notice that you are actively doing something. They just acknowledged that you are a "go-getter." Perhaps it was someone who is secretly envious of your sucess. Just keep your head up and don't let it affect you cause you got this....they are dumb.So I'm a pretty thick skinned guy with a solid sense of humor, I've been the fat kid for at least the last decade or so, so I'm used to being that...but this morning I walk into work and there is a list of our crew members (there always is) on the dry erase board...the crew is listed first initial, last name...so I've been losing weight/dieting for a while now, and have to this point lost 67 pounds total (37 since joining MFP) and was feeling great about the progress I've made (still have anothe 36 pounds to my goal) but then despite my obvious effort to be less fat I show up to this...
(my last name is hammer) It is very demotivational to have someone call you fat despite your several month long effort to be something else...that said I know what I've done, and I know how far I've come, and it's not going to get me off track...really was just venting more than anything. Anyone else here have **** like this happen?0 -
Putting "XL" was immature.
On a side note...his pic looks like a Will Ferrell (sp?) character...0 -
do I spy a mullet?0

Haters are gonna hate. Decide they have no power over you, and move forward. You've come a long way-- too far to let some idiot discourage you. YOU OWN this. Own your success, own your strength...no one can take it from you unless you let them.
(Also, nice profile pic! I have an Olde English Bulldog, and she looks a lot like your pit!)0 -
LOL at number 2.F that dude (assuming it's a dude that wrote that)!
here's what you do:
1. Keep kicking *kitten* and losing weight and get yourself all kinds of buff.
2. Bang his girl.
The end.0 -
Just think of how you'll have the last laugh soon, though. This person is going to be so jealous when you reach your goal and get tons of attention for it.
If you find out who did this, next time write "small penis" next to their last name! Hah!
LOL....I LOVE this idea!
Kudos to you and all of your hard work! Screw the person who wrote that....s/he must feel pretty crappy about their own self image, to feel it necessary to say/do that to someone else.0 -
Are you 100% certain that it was done as a joke or insult?
It looks like there was an "L" there before. Any chance they wrote an "X" next to your name as an indicator of something, perhaps while planning shifts or something? perhaps the original "L" got erased in the process, and they put it back.
I like to...
1. Assume the best, not the worst.
2. Not allow others' actions or opinions to affect my own in a negative manner.0 -
Everyone at school has always made fun of me for being over weight, just because they are naturally skinny.
I will be more proud because I have worked and struggled to get were I am.
People who do that are just insecure within themselves and are probarbly jelous because your turning your life around and there still stuck in the same place.0 -
XL Hammer is pretty BOSS if you ask me! I would own the heck outta that name! Nothing small when it's Hammertime!0
-
Wow...he's a stud.....NOT~Thought I'd post a pic of the guy that did it (snagged it off his Facebook and thought it was too funny, the picture is about 20 years old or so...

Keep doing what you're doing Hammer!! Flip the hate around for even more motivation. That was an terrible attempt to bring you BACK down to their level because they have issues with themselves. I know it's frustrating but don't let it allow you to loose focus. So many people want us to fail on this journey but I i know you've come too far to let that happen.
keep striving my friend!0 -
I'd change it to 'XL Hammers your wife whilst you're writing stupid comments'
That;d do it
BUMPITY BUMP!0 -
Ouch, that must have hurt! I hope that you are feeling a bit better about it by now, time is a good leveller! :bigsmile:
But got to agree with what the others have said, it is probably because you are not overly big that they think it is ok to joke like that. Either tell him it's not on, or just shrug it off and don't let it get to you, you know that you are doing brilliantly.0 -
Far be it for me to justify his lame excuse at humor, but you'd be bummed too if your kid was one of the Children of the Corn. He's passively-aggressively taking it out on you...0
-
The joke at work is a company-level issue. Posting someone's pic without their permission on a random web forum could become a legal issue. Also -- you're stooping to his level and making yourself no better than him. Congrats.So...he does that and I'm the douche because I shared his public picture? How does that work?
Are you positive that this guy did it, anyway?0 -
sorry that happend. dudes a douche.0
