    {{{Hug}}} Really don't sweat this! These women are at best immature, poisonous and best avoided I'd say!

    My response would have been "Really? She told me you have b.o.!" Then shrug and walk away knowing that for the rest of the day they'll be consciously trying to get a whiff of themselves.

    ^That. Also, regardless if who said it, they sound like bit€hes to me. I'd steer clear.

    Some people don't know how to be anything but hateful. And as someone else stated, maybe they've noticed your weight loss and are jealous...and when people are jealous sometimes the only way they know how to respond is making fun of whatever they're jealous of. I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about their thought processes. As the anonymous quote goes, "Don't worry about what other people think. They don't do it very often."

    If you can't laugh at yourself, then who can you laugh at?

    I'm so fat, when I go out on my run people must assume its to Dunkin Doughnuts.

    HAHAH. I got a million.

    Went to the gym, someone put there lunch in front of my treadmill. Said it would help motivate me because there was Oreos in there.

    Many overweight people make themselves the butt of their own jokes..but truly they are hurting inside. You deserve to be treated better and please treat yourself better.

    And many more can have both a sense of humor *and* a healthy self-esteem.

    Once a woman said to me that i was fat...(well at 297 pounds at the time it didn't take a genius to work that out!)

    Anyway, my response to her comment was "yes, but I can lose weight, what can you do about your face?"
    Funnily enough, i never heard another weight related comment come out of her mouth.

    i went to a party in December and a guy went to my partner and asked if Miss Piggy (me) is his girlfriend. Although i laughed it off, it killed me inside and lost all my confidence since.

    Wow, what a jerk! I agree with whoever said funny people are hurting inside. That describes me well! But I am also a smartass, so I'm sure I would've made a nasty remark in response...in both situations. I'm fat AND feisty, but I have horrible self esteem. And I have no idea what my point is. I'd like to share something motivational, but what it all boils down to is some people are total asshats. Keep on keepin' on!

    "But I am thinking either this woman said it and the other two ladies were enjoying telling me or it was something the two ladies wanted to say to me but using her name. Could it be because they have noticed I have lost weight and they are trying to make me feel bad or because they noticed and are making a joke in an amused way about it. I do know that they hate their jobs so spend too much time joking around these days. "


    Why didn't you ask them?

    you should just tell them to suck it...

    personally I think it is jealousy, they hate seeing someone suceed where they have failed.

    not worth your time.

    I don't think they are trying to say you are fat. I don't think many people are that directly mean spirited. I think they are trying to say it's so funny that XXX would think you are fat.
