    I recall a story where Prime Minister, Churchill was at a party one time and a lady walked up to him and said, Sir, You are Drunk... To which the Prime Minister replied, that it may be that he was drunk but that she was ugly.. and that in the morning, he would be sober but that she would still be ugly... In this case, you may can stand to lose a pound or two, but when those pounds are gone, you will rock those shorts... on the other hand, she will still be a _______....

    I agree with several other posts. Just let it go. She is the one with the problem, not you... and don't try to please the unpleasable. I have been criticized for being fat.. and now I am criticized for being "emaciated" (at 224 lbs and 6'3" with a BMI above 28... Yeah, that is emaciated...) You cannot please those who are naturally critical.

    That's pretty impressive. We should try to be kind to the mentally ill, but that's pushing it.

    PROBABLY the right response would be just to smile sweetly while pitying the poor woman for whatever inner demon is tormenting her.

    My natural reaction would have been to take off the shorts and throw them at her while yelling, "I KNOW, RIGHT?", but I'm still working on this whole "compassion" thing.

    ^this, lol

    You seriously just have to laugh at people when they say things like that. I know it's hard, but that's the best come-back for people like that. It really gets under their skin when they can't get a negative response from you. You're beautiful. Don't cry.

    True!

    She was either in a bad mood or just jealous or something. Sorry that happened to you. Don't let people's negativeness and rude remarks effect what you wear... wear whatever you want to or like to wear. :)

    From looking at your picture I think she was being sarcastic. She was jealous, you look fantastic actually.


    this was my thoughts exactly! she HAD to have been being sarcastic

    Firstly, what an *kitten*. Secondly, I love the "Stewie Griffon" for situations like this - "Well, I'd love to stay and chat, but you're a total *****".
    Don't worry about her (easier said than done, I know), she's clearly bitter/jealous. When things like this happen, I just imagine how crap their life must be... imagine how tiring it would be (not to mention how little she must have going on in her own life) to find and make negative comments on everyday occurences like a stranger walking past

    I'm thinking we need to organize a MFP spandex shorty-shorts convention where you live. I shudder to think of myself in spandex...or short-shorts but for a good cause, I could rock it.

    This is definitely a good cause.

    I agree, there is no way she could have anywhere near that reaction to your figure/size no matter what you were wearing.

    Honestly, I think that woman was having a bad day and decided to take it out on you. Don't read to much into it.

    It has been established that you are not overweight. Some even believe she may have been trying to be sarcastic but I don't think so from the way she said it.

    Even if you were overweight, even obese, her comments would have been unacceptable. That leads me to believe that there must be something psychologically wrong with her. It makes we wonder what kind of messed up life she must have to be at point where she must lash out to others in such a hurtful way.

    I'm sorry you were hurt by what she said. The best thing would have been to ignore it and move on, but being human it is understandable that you would be upset. You did the right thing in sharing your story on MFP where you know good people would support you.

    People from our area are extremely delusional. They think they are entitled for some reason when really they have no reason to be and they're just like everyone else.

    Personally, I wear clothes that make me comfortable to do what I want to do at that time. If it is warm, I run in shorts, if I'm on a beach, I wear a swimming costume. I do not dress to give those surrounding me pleasure. Therefore I am happy to see anyone of any size wear clothes appropriate to the weather or situation. I've had to work up to this and I was really proud to wear short shorts last summer.

    I feel sorry for people who feel trapped by the attitudes of others into wearing what they think is socially appropriate to their body. I'm glad, OP, that this is happening at a time when you KNOW that horrid woman is wrong. If she said the same again I'd just say 'Then stop looking!' She's definitely the one with the problem!

    Hahahha thanks guys you are all so great. I'm not letting it get to me today.

    I wish it was sarcasm....but there's just no way! She started out when she was farther away from me and was staring and was mumbling with this horrified look on her face then said it when she got closer. Just a crazy person!

    I am 5'8" fairly athletic and weigh 157 lbs, well within normal BMI range.

    Ummm so ten minutes ago I'm walking out of my apartment in non-spandex running shorts and a loose tank top and a woman walking by me into the building says to me "ugh I am so sick of seeing fat people in little shorts you look disgusting" then walks in. What the ****?!

    She was probably in her thirties, slim and fit but certainly nothing special to look at. I was so stunned I didn't say a word. I am in shock right now. I want to cry!

    Next time anyone makes a comment on your size reply with

    "Well you may THINK I am fat, but at least I can change that, you will always have an ugly personality!"

    I can't stand people who think they have a right to be so rude and unpleasant to another human being!

    OH MY GOODNESS SLAP HER!! Or, living near her apartment, make her life HELL! You could always leave passive aggressive notes on her door. But I'm a little bit more viscious toward the haters.

    OMG I really hope you didn't cry because this woman deserves not even a second of thought. You should laugh at this non-sense comment. She obviously has problems with crack or something. She must be slow or something. You can't be intelligent and say something like that.

    We can all see that you are everything but fat, so obviously she wasn't 100% sober.
