  • 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.

    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!

    I'd change it to 'XL Hammers your wife whilst you're writing stupid comments'

    That;d do it

    BUMPITY BUMP!
  • 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.

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

    Are you positive that this guy did it, anyway?

    How about writing ----> (yeah it's that big) right next to what he wrote. :wink: Don't let ignorant douchbags like that ruing your morning. In the end, you're doing it right and you are striving to change, he'll just be the same old a**hole. Keep up the good work. And remember, you can't please everyone.

    So, some idiot doesn't see what great progress you've made... Big deal. You need to get over it and realize what you've already done so far, think about what you're going to do in the future, and just know that it really doesn't matter what other people think about you now, before, or later. You are doing this for you, not them, right? **** them.

    And posting his picture is not necessary. He makes fun of you, so you make fun of him... No, man. You don't need to do that.

    If you find out who did this, next time write "small penis" next to their last name! Hah!

    Yep, I agree

    I also agree that it says more about the author than it does about you. He (she?) is extremely jealous. Keep your head up high and get rid of the pain in your heart. You're doing amazing, and unfortunately, you'll encounter more and more asshats...

    Congrats on the loss, keep it up, and ignore the haters!! :wink:

    Totally this!!!

    Whoever did that is just a jerk. Ignore them and move on. You've come a long way and will keep losing weight and then luagh at them. Keep going they are just trying to stop you!

    First of all, just wanted to say I empathise. I have had comments made to me at work such as I was having a conversation with a lady and I said 'I can't seem to shift the weight from my stomach' and she said 'yeah and you haven't even had kids yet.' Had plenty of other rude comments from her, and she is pretty passive-aggressive about it so I find it hard to retaliate or say soemthing!

    Also, what he wrote is sh***y but I think a lot of people can be insensitive and probably don't think their 'joke' is causing offense (especially men, as they tend to be a little less sensitive, at least on the outside, than women,) this does not excuse it however.

    Also, his pic is so cheesy it kinda turns my stomach a little...bad to stoop to his level, but it's a fact.

    Just think about how far you've come and ignore the douche! x

    One, he never said anyones names or the specific company so way to make a bigger deal than necessary and make the OP feel like he can't share ****.

    Ok first off yes I'm positive it was him...he later admitted to doing so, second no its not a legal issue...Facebook is public once stuff gets posted there it is public property...he's clearly not ashamed by the pic otherwise it wouldn't be his profile pic...nor am I implying that he should be ashamed...if you find that to be a shameful picture then perhaps it is you with the interpretation issues...looks like a normal guy concurrent with the era the picture was taken...I didn't bash the guy, merely identified him...and did so by a picture that he uses to also identify himself...but ya know...good to see that someone is willing to stick up for the poor defenseless people that insult people...

    All my life I have been tormented by people, mainly for things I had no control over. But, as my grandmother taught me about cruel people..."Consider the source, and then move on". The source is usually someone not worth mentioning. You know what you have accomplished and will continue to accomplish. You DON'T want to go to that guys level. He's NOT worth it. Whenever you see him, just smile and say "hope you're having a nice day". Kill him with kindness as the old saying goes. Now, move on and continue your awesome progress. You are indeed to be admired.

    I'm the type of personality where that would MOTIVATE me to show that douche what I'm made of and prove them wrong. Don't you dare let this person take another second of your happiness away - be proud of what you've accomplished, and use their words to motivate you to reach your goals.
  • (((hugs))) I think that would be terribly painful. Hang in there! You are on the right track!

    If it were me, I would be horribly hurt at first. I really would. I would probably obsess about it for a day (maybe two). Then I would remind myself (if I had lost as much as you have) that I'm successful. I have friends, good friends, supportive friends there to help me get through this bullying @$$hat's comment and move on. He a douche bag. It's unfortunate that they exist, but they do. You will never be good enough, fit enough, smart enough, etc. for everyone, but it sounds like you are a really great guy. I hope you are able to just blow this guy off (although I like the "Hammers your wife" comment. Friend me if you need some support or a new friend. Have a great day!

    OP never made it clear until now whether he was positive that it was the guy. Smearing him here without knowing if he were guilty or not would be irresponsible.

    OP has clarified that he is sure that this guy is the guilty party. Smearing him here, posting his pic, is only stooping to the same immature level as the guy. Hooray! Great job!

    If your point was not to insult or shame the guy, then why post the pic? You complain about being picked on, and you do the same thing? Grow up, dude. Do yourself a favor, and get over it. As long as you make yourself out to be the victim, and reciprocate childish actions with childish actions, you will continue to suffer like this over and over. Be the adult in these kinds of situations.
