in Success Stories
I have posted my before and after pictures before but i want to tell you a story of absolute success. i was very fat in high school actually my whole school career. i was bullied ALOT because of it. the "popular" kids would often say things like "maybe if you give her a twinkie she will let you copy her homework" among other things. (i was smart almost all advanced classes). this is what i looked like

i work about 3 blocks from my old high school so everyone i went to school with lives close. so 2 nights ago one of the boys who bullied me relentlessly came into my work. i knew who he was instantly he doesn't have a face i would likely forget. He came to the counter and did a double take and
said "you're Chelsea (insert last name here) right?"
so i said "yes"
he said "damn you got hot! i gotta say i wouldnt have recognized you. Sorry for.....ya know everything in school. we were young ya know?" he was staring at my chest the whole time he said this
so i could either be a b*tch or say its okay. So what did i do?
i said "You are only sorry because you think im...what did you say? 'hot?' if i still was fat you would have come in here and said some smart alack remark about how im still fat and although i have changed for the better you are still the same. i thought maybe college would have changed you but i guess not. so no i do not accept you're apology because your not truly sorry."
needless to say he was stunned and quietly left the store. my coworker Phil was in the back room and came out clapping. i have never been more proud of myself, i stood up to my bully! this guy harrassed me throughout the 6 years i knew him.
This is what i look like now

    Wow, you are absolutely beautiful on the outside now. I could tell lookign at the first photo that you were very pretty. It was always there. I hope highschool doesn't leave you with too many war wounds! I have different highschool war wounds. I was put into the bottom class for everything and have fought (with myself) all these years to believe that I'm not stupid. Don't believe the version of you that your high school class mates cast you in. That's their script!

    That's awesome.
    What a jerk.

    I was teased in elementary school by this awful boy about my weight. He made me cry all the time. In college, I saw him at a local bar and he didn't recognize me and hit on me. I just side-eyed him and walked away.

    You got the last laugh!

    Well done on your weight loss and well done on sticking up for yourself.

    Although I have to say it does sound a bit like the guy apologized and you made a bunch of assumptions and ripped into him.

    Not to say he didn't deserve it for what he put you through in high school but sometimes it's best to just move on.

    I was thinking the same thing, although since we weren't there we cant know how his apology sounded, etc.
    Maybe he really did realize what a jerk he was.

    You look beautiful.

    Not only are you hot but the end is in sight! Now's the time to re-double your efforts. I was also bullied in school for my weight so I'm sympathetic.

    You look awesome.

    Sometimes guys are immature, it's best to just be the bigger person and move on. Dont give someone like him the time of day.

    honestly his apology sounded like the apology your mom makes you say after you steal your siblings toy. a forced and emotionless "sorry"

    Hahahahaha Good story! You stuck to the program and you *do* look great. I admire your strength to not wither because of bullying, but to realize that regardless of what some dumbass says, you are worthy and beautiful and it really doesn't matter what he thinks or says to make the other dumbasses like him.
