    A horrible day at work. Customers are unforgiving, a lot even taunt me for my weight as they leave. Others just taunt me for my place in life, working at Wal-mart instead of being in college. Its hurtful and crappy. That's why I work out in the morning before I do anything.

    I hope that you go to college too, however, you have a job - good for you! There's something wrong with anyone who would taunt you.

    I worked at Target for 2.5 years as a cashier; I know how you feel. People feel so superior just because they're not in some crappy service job and they have no idea how hard it is. I really think everyone should have to work a low-level service job so they know how horrible people can really be.

    Being sick. And it doesn't even kill my motivation, because I'd love nothing more than to go for a run or lift some weights, but with this damn cold/flu thing, I can't breathe.

    People who act as though weight loss and exercise is effortless and that they have never slipped up. Makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong and I self doubt and end up comfort eating or give up on exercise sooner.

    No matter how I feel, I keep going. I don't let anything get in the way of reaching my health goals. I've been through so much crap in my life but as a Christian, I turn to God in good times and bad. He keeps me going so that the outside world no longer affects me.

    Sometimes you just have to toughen up.for most situations, you will never see the people again who try to belittle you or perhaps in a few years, you will have moved onto better things and have reached your goals. I say, don't let people hurt you, you don't need that in your life be it family or friends. Forgive them, bless them, then move forward with a stronger foot.

    The vicious cycle of being ill, feeling better, trying to start back too soon, making yourself ill again, but worse and for longer...

    I agree, nothing is more character building that working in the service industry!!! I worked in Starbucks and was talked to like a moron or shouted at for not serving their coffee in 1 second as if their coffee is the most important thing in the world and I've killed someone if they don't get it that second!

    Service makes you learn how to keep calm on the outside and you deal with so much crap for such a small wage!

    I agree about grey sky's and crappy weather. I live (until we retire to the south) in the hell hole state of Ohio. It is awful. I don't understand why anyone would stay here. People are stiff and unfriendly, weather is bad and scenery is flat and yucky.

    Beer or Wine. I have a really big family, and when we get together, someone always likes to bring one or the other. So, I have to say..WAIT! Don't forget, unless it's my birthday, don't bring anything! I plan on having a reallly good 50th birthday. Plus permission to sleep in the next day.

    mean people who say why do you want to eat at the drop of a hat. I dont know, I am geared that way, I had rather eat than deal, I am working on it. I dont know why I want to eat when something goes wrong like something is terribly wrong with me. when I am sick is another one, for some reason food comforts me and again I am trying to find other ways to comfort me like friends, this site, enough rest, again I am working on it. why do people chastise you for this and then I lose my motivation.

    I'm sorry people treat you badly. It's nothing to do with you, but with those that feel the need to make someone else feel bad in order to make themselves feel better. They probably have miserable lives.

    I worked at Wal-Mart for three weeks last year and walked out. I have never in my life been treated so badly by people. For some reason the customers felt they could treat me like an animal or lesser human being. I DO NOT put up with that.

    It was a second job anyway.

    I work with the public at my regular job and am allowed to tell people not to talk to me in such a way. The manager hates for people to treat his staff like crap and will come out of his office to tell them so when he over hears it.
