    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.
    ^^This. Definitely. You were pretty then, and you're definitely pretty now. Plus you're healthier and more confident than ever.

    I love what you said. What you've accomplished with your body is great and you will likely reap the rewards in health benefits, but it is sad that he would come in and continue to judge you based on your looks alone.

    First, congrats on your success!

    2nd, that was some confrontation! Wow! I've never been overweight, so I don't know what I'd do. I'd like to think that I'd just say thanks, and leave it at that. I've said some messed up stuff as a kid to other kids, and as an adult, I'm truly sorry and regret it. I'd like to think that an apology is an apology. He didn't have to acknowledge your weight-loss, but he did. He might've been surprised, but he could've been genuinely sorry and happy for your success.

    But, if it felt good to tell him off like that, power to you!!! The bottom line is that you're a much healthier you now, and that's what matters.

    you do look great.

    maybe you're still angry with him and all the other people that bullied you and not quite ready to forgive them all and move on....and that's okay! just keep in mind that holding onto that negative energy those people unfairly put onto you years ago isn't going to help you continue to grow. i work on this lesson all the time and it's not easy. being kind to those that are unkind to us is a life long practice. you don't have to put someone down to stand up for yourself.

    You look great; one thing I would say...is you should forgive them (all the bullies) for yourself; whether they're sorry or not. If you hold the grudge, you put yourself on their level and....it eventually eats you up inside through sickness (seriously). Also, you could have accepted his apology but that doesn't mean you were friends or that you'd give him the time of day.

    Edit: And I have been in your shoes; I too was the girl no one liked because I was "too fat"; only I wasn't super smart, so I didn't even have that going for me....oh well, I made something of myself despite everything :smile:

    Well said! I'd like to think that her weight loss success is great revenge in itself. Wouldn't the look on his face just be enough? In many ways he did bow down and take back his bullying with a public apology. Some people never apologize. and this maybe the reason why. They may have done it once and found it pointless to do it again, if not appreciated.

    The time to stand up to yourself is when you're being attacked and bullied. That's just my opinion.

    Good for you. I can wait to have my moment like that when I slim down more. Being bullied in school is the worst. Unfortunately, I know first hand. This post made my day. Thank you.

    Reminds me of a time when a kid who was a jerk to me walked into my place of employment and apologized. I don't know if it was based on looks or not, but it was really surprising and unexpected. That happened 14 years ago, and it is still a pleasant memory. (I think he was genuine, so that helps, but hopefully this memory will be a good one for you too.)

    I never get mentalities like this. Why, after enduring years of teasing, casual cruelty, and torment, is one supposed to take the 'high' road? Why is the burden on the bullied person to be the 'better man'? So the Bully can have the satisfaction of being a good person now and go to sleep at night content in the knowledge that they've been forgiven and the years they spent causing someone else pain are just wiped clean? Forget that.

    I was viciously bullied in high school, to a point that I had to have my entire class schedule rearranged (Funny how I was the one who had to change and not the bullies) and I can honestly say there are some people out in the world who I wish live long lives, full of pain and suffering and not a single shred of happiness.

    OT: Good for you OP, and you were beautiful before and beautiful now.

    I understand this mentality, though I think forgiving someone who apologizes helps pay it forward. If a former bully apologizes, genuinely, and is received with kindness and acceptance, there is a better chance that the former bully will experience a greater inner formation, reducing the chances of the bully bullying others. Hurt people hurt people.

    I was bullied pretty much all through middle school and through high school because of my weight and because I didn't fit in with the other popular kids.. I still have nightmares about it and to be honest i still haven't gotten over it. One of my goals for losing weight is to be able to prove people wrong like you did. Your an Inspiration to the rest of us!
