    While driving to work this morning, my fiance and I just had a conversation about this.

    Ten years ago, I would have been one of those girls. I was barely pushing 105lbs (and not by choice, I ate like a crazy person, I just couldn't gain weight) and judged everyone who wasn't the same size as me. I would always think to myself, "WHY aren't you doing anything about your weight? Why are you shopping for clothes that are clearly not your size? Why are you wearing such tight clothing? Nobody wants to see that." I was cruel, evil and downright mean.

    Then I gained a good 70lbs and received those very same comments and looks I gave to others (more times than I care to admit).

    After losing my first 20lbs, I was proud! I may have put on some clothes that were a little too tight, but hell! I was proud of the work I had done and how far I had come; I wanted to show that off! It took gaining that much weight in a short period of time to finally realize that maybe those people I would say snarky comments about had just lost a bunch of weight and wanted to show off their progress. Maybe they were happy with the way they looked and who the h am I to judge? It makes me sad to admit that it took all that to finally see that I'm no different than anyone else, my comments hurt people and that judging others only shows the type of person I am (and more importantly, the type of person I'm not).

    I hope someday those girls see that their actions are wrong and that those little comments could (and did) hurt someone so much. But even if they don't, you should be DARN proud of how far you've come and how far you'll go! You're doing an amazing job and you look fantastic! Keep up the great work and brush off mean people's comments. Don't waste energy being upset...life is far too short and because, well, YOU are rockin' it (:

    That sucks. People can be so rude, sometimes. I really hope they feel what it's like to be on the other side of that some day. Don't let it get you down. You have done such outstanding work and you have *amazing* results to show for it already. You are sensational and you look fantastic. They may never know the joy you have, of being able to depend on yourself like you do, to change your self and your life by continual hard work until you reach your goals. Of being unstoppable. Their catty comments mean nothing! Nothing can change your greatness!

    Thats when you walk by them and whisper, "I may be fat but who the heck hit you with the ugly stick, girl... At least I can lose weight!"

    This! Hah! Or I would have made a crack along these lines "You're right, I'm kidding myself If I think MY breasts could fit in this dinky thing. Here, yours look flat enough to fit in this." And say it as sweetly and sincerely as possible with a winning smile! You are awesome and always remember that! You were awesome enough to turn something negative in positive energy when you worked out! Not everyone is strong enough to do that! :flowerforyou:

    You have made major changes to your life and body, whereas they wont be able to change their rather unpleasant personalities. Be thankful for that, you are a far better person than they for having not said anything. They obviously are so insecure that they have to tear someone else to pieces to make themselves feel superior. I doubt they could come anywhere close to achieving what you have, if they had to in some area of their lives.


    Exactly!!!

    I get that a lot too because I'm actually fairly athletic for my size. The most recent was on a shuttle to a 25 mile bike ride. A group of skinny heifers had a big laugh at my expense. I didn't handle it as well as you did. Although I enjoyed a quiet celebration when I breezed by them on my bike, I still emotionally ate two bags of chips.

    I'm going to strive to handle it the way you did in the future.

    The bottom line is, you're a very attractive young lady as has been said numerous times on this thread. These girls on the other hand are rude, insensitive and potentially frustrated with their lot in life. Furthermore, I doubt there's anyone on here who hasn't been the victim of rude behaviour like that, so let it wash right over you.

    You are a beautiful person. You have done so good losing weight. Just hold your head high and ignore the idiots. There will always be people who criticize others because they are unhappy with themselves. If need be, continue to let the criticisms inspire you to exercise more... and burn the frustration... but, please don't take it to heart. I know that's easier said than done though.

    Just remember... YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. :flowerforyou: :heart: :flowerforyou: :heart:

    I misread the title. I thought it said . " I got Tazered today". Oh well. But to your situation. The only opinion that matters is your own.

    You have come SO far and if those heartless little girls knew they would feel like fools. Don't let them get to you. You did great by using their words as motivation. There are some evil people in this world, it's a shame we can't group them all together so they can be horrible to each other!

    First off, well done on your weight loss. However you are far too polite to call those empty headed morans "ladies". Just know you are a better person then they will ever be.

    I would've given them a look and said "I can hear you....aren't you a peach" and walked away.

    Who cares what a bunch of young girls think. They have to judge someone to make themselves feel better. Screw.That.

    I either never have the guts or don't think about it until it's too late, but sometimes I'd love to say,

    "I may be fat, but I'm losing weight. You will always be an *sshole!"



    Some people will always be jerks. Congrats on your awsome weight loss!

    People love to cut others down to try to make themselves feel better. Just remember, nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent. Recognize these folks for what they are. The only thing they're really doing is pointing out how ugly THEY are.

    Hahaha, you guys are hilarious!

    I love reading each and every one of your responses. As I have said in previous posts, I really appreciate your kind words.

    I feel much better about the situation (was just a little down yesterday) and today, I feel even MORE motivated to keep working out and getting fit.

    Thanks to you all!!!

    Quick reply? Look innocent and say. Hmmm... You don't think this would fit an 8 year old girl?
    Watch them blush and run. They're trying to make themselves feel better at your expense.
    Kudos to you that you didn't fall for it.:heart:

    "hey titless, would you like to try this xs on?"

    Try that one next time! I think what you have accomplished is awesome! Don't let the rude a**holes get you down! They have no idea of the level of your personal accomplishments!

    I have an overweight 25 year old daughter and I would LOVE to see her with the enthusiasm you have to lose those unhealthy pounds!

    Feel free to add me if you would like another supportive person in your camp!

    You've lost an AMAZING amount of weight. I know we can say ignore the haters, but that would be a tough thing to hear. Part of me in your situation would hope I have enough guts to say "Well I've lost 155lbs...kiss my rear" and walk away. Or point out how I can lose weight but they'll still be ugly inside.

    Hold your head high and KNOW you deserve praise and you are doing so good for yourself!
