"Fat legs"

So today I arrived at school. After I put my bike away I was just walking to the schoolyard. There are some classrooms starting from the cycle shed to the schoolyard. After I bike my hair is a mess so I use the windows of those classrooms as my mirrors to fix my hair. As I was fixing my hair I heard some guys talk behind me.
One guy was like "Hey, she's pretty" and I saw him pointing at me in the window, and I felt so happy for just a few seconds. Just a few seconds cause his friend was like "Yeah, but look at her legs-- they're so fat!" and my mind just went blank and I heard his friend say like "OOPS! I didn't notice!". I felt really bad for the rest of the day... Probably the worst I felt in a long time...

  • that's crap! Ignore them, who are they to you? they are nothing special, not worthy of your attention, not deserving of your time, thoughts or emotion.

    You are stronger than that!

    It's just that I HATE how people judge other people based on their weight! But I guess that's inevitable these days
    Thanks sweetie!

    I have had more guys that I care to count tell me that "if i would just get my body to look as nice as my face, I would be really pretty". Such back handed compliments are always hard to hear. Just remember that they aren't people you want to associate, let alone be pursed by. There actual nice guys out there, hold out for their compliments :)
  • young guys think highly of themselves and like to get together and rate girls, this happend to me when i was slim, one guy said i was pretty and his friend said " yeah from the front" implying that i had no booty lol, and if they cant find anything to say about your body then they'll start on your clothes etc, i'm willing to bet the first guy that noticed you were pretty liked everything he saw but felt like he had to retract because of what his friend said.

    Guys can be such idiots. Don't listen to them hun, in this day you can't be anything without getting criticised..
    People who are narrow minded will always find something bad to say about people, whether you are thin, fat, tall, short, brown haired, ginger haired etc. EVERYONE gets judged, and it's always by the people who just don't deserve the time of day!

    I have had guys talking about my weight, and I just think, I don't know them so their opinions don't bother me!
    Stay strong, you are better than them ! :)

    Plus one of them commented on how pretty you are- so that's a positive thing!

    I'd be willing to bet money that the second guy only "changed his mind" because he felt awkward in front of his friend who had just said that, afraid to be judged.
    How do you just not notice somebody's legs? You don't.
    He thought you were pretty and didn't have enough balls to stand by that.
    Don't even let it bother you!

    THIS.

    Boys aren't worth your time or energy.

    they complain about your fat legs and yet they eat bacon and ham (other mammals fat legs)... this is just to show you how ridiculous they are. Next time tell them that at least your fat is in the right place, not in the brain (like their case).

    But listen, you're pretty, and I?m sure your legs are fine. Don't feel unconfortable with your body about them, not at all because nobody else deserves the effort but you.
