people can be so mean :(

Sorry to say but with my temper I probably would have picked up a stone or something and thrown it at the car. They can see how a fat girl throws then.

That is totally me XD

But people can be total assclowns. I put off going to the gym or going jogging for months because I was worried about comments like that! Ive FINALLY managed to get the nads to be able to start the C25K on he cycle track near my home. but every time anyone looks my way or comes near I automatically go into "walk and try to look like its not killing me" mode. I don man to, it just happens. Old insecurities don't like to be beaten, im afraid!

What that guy did was mean. Really mean. I try to remind myself (and my kids) that people who resort to such behavior are probably pretty miserable already, so I don't think pepper spray or a taser would accomplish anything.

It would. I'd feel much better after doing it.:laugh: lol I know what your saying though.

lol the really stupid thing is that you aren't even big looking. Rather, you're pretty tidy! So as well as being unnecessary, that twats comment wasn't even factually accurate lol.

My cousin was overweight when she was younger and this boy TORMENTED her all through middle school and into high school. She's out of college now lost a ton of weight and genuinely looks like a movie star, like, she's a knock-out. So one night we were all out at this bar and a dude sends over a drink and starts hitting on her...actually, it was more like desperately throwing himself at her. Well, he leaves to go talk to his buddies and my other cousin recognizes him as the little jerk from high school and when he came back over with his friend we were a seat short. He motions over to the table RIGHT NEXT TO US where a bigger girl was sitting, and said "I'd ask them for a stool, but it looks like she needs two or three." My hot cousin threw her drink in his face! It was the ultimate revenge and he stood there- wet, embarrassed, rejected and stupid as ever.
Don't worry. What goes around comes around and you look awesome.

I don't understand people like that either. I am so glad that you had MFP to turn to!!

I looked at your pics and you are so beautiful. That dude didn't even see you! He was just being obnoxious!

Saturday night I went out to a club with a friend of mine and while we were dancing, I noticed another guy making fun of the way my friend was dancing. The place was quite crowded, but I saw him point to my friend, the imitate the way he was dancing, then tell two of his friends who both laughed and did a bit of an imitation as well. I can tell you, it made me FURIOUS. Like, beyond furious. We're all in our 20s, which means we're all fully grown adults. I honestly haven't seen any one act like that since middle school. I was so mad.

But then I remember how my mom used to tell me, "Other people can do whatever they want. You can't control them. You can only control what you do and how you react to something." And honestly, she's right. So I didn't let it ruin my night. Anyone of that age who makes fun of another person obviously has issues with himself, and that's the truth. People happy and content with themselves, in control of their own lives, do not make fun of people and do not insult strangers from moving cars. There's something about themselves they don't like or are insecure with.

I know my experience wasn't the same as your experience, and you were probably hurting a lot more, but everyone here is right. That guy is a loser. And clearly unhappy with himself in some way. His words and actions don't have any power unless you give them power, so don't.

You said this so beautifully, using the words I wish I'd used. Thank you. Your mama is smart, and so is her kid.

Yep, people can be mean. I had the same thing that happened to me, while running at a track at a highschool. Don't let that douche bag get you down. You are better than him and he will get his some day! You keep doing it and running! We will show them!:flowerforyou:

I am so sorry that happened to you. *BIG HUG*. I am so proud of you for not letting that stop you from running. I ran a 5 K the other day and there were people of all different sizes and ages. I think running is great exercise and anyone can do it when they set their mind to it. Never let a jerk stop you from your goal.

I don't know...if you get him in the right spot, he's either going to be sterile or at bare minimum, remember the day he lost his mind and called a lady fat...=-)

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

So I was out for my usual run and I'm more than half way done when this car drives by and this guy sticks his head out the passenger side and screams, "Hey baby!! Ha just kidding, YOU'RE FAT!!" and kept driving like little cowards. I seriously couldn't believe someone would do that. It was so hurtful. I know I shouldn't let it get to me but it just really struck a nerve. I began crying as I was running but I kept going and didn't stop. I didn't want him to stop me from having a good workout. The funny part of this story is that after I started crying and thinking of how much that hurt my feelings, I thought to myself...I can't wait to get on MFP and tell everyone ha. Anywho...I'm going to try and forget about it for now and just remember he doesn't know me or my situation and he is a big fat D-bag.

uh WHAT?! Why are people like that? I'm glad you were able to move past it. To me, people who say nasty things are really just unhappy with themselves. Man alive that was mean! I'm all fired up just thinking about it! :explode:
I had similar instances in high school and even up til recently so it makes me really angry for you. I hope that you are having a much better day full of tons of compliments! :bigsmile:

I think you look great! Keep your chin up gorgeousness! ;o)

I don't know him, but I can honestly say, I hate that little dweeb. I had the same thing happen to me last fall, and I did the same thing...kept on going, cried after I got to the safety of my car, and then came on here, vented, and felt a little better. How dare anyone think they have the right to do something like that, eh?

I've noticed people like that have bigger problems than the diahriea coming out their mouths.

The only thing you can control is yourself, and while you were upset you did the right thing by continuing your run.

To those that are afraid to run or walk outside....do what you NEED to do to reach your fitness goals. To hell what the nieghbors may or may NOT think, from experience most of them won't even notice you are there. Which could be a problem if they're driving. By not going on your walks or runs you're letting them get over on you.

Well, then I guess it's a good thing you were working out then, huh?! Sheesh, what a *kitten*!
