How to deal with mean comments?

Please ignore all the mean comments.

If a human being is mean to you, it means they do not care about you.

Return the compliment by ignore them and their comments.

Keep yourself in the path to a healthier lifestyle.

I wish you luck in your journey.

The only power these sorts of comments have is the power you give them.

Just keep your focus on your goals and let the rest be like water off a duck.

Your family calls you fat??? Wtf?

Tell them they're no cream puff themself.

Also, think of one of their faults. For example, "you'll have to excuse me if I don't take insults from someone who [insert fault here] too personally."

Or, calmly raise your eyebrows and say "well, I feel like a worthless piece of @#$#@# now. You can go ahead and check that block for the day. What's next on the agenda?"

Stick with the plan and beat them.

Don't let their criticism get to you. Take all of that hurt, and do something positive with it. I would take this as an opportunity to prove all of them wrong by showing them what a healthy lifestyle can do. Stick in there, you can do it!

Turn this into a positive thing for yourself to help you reach your goals. Easier said than done, I know, but think of how good it will feel to beat them at their game. It will really stick in their craw watching you reach your goals.

wait, these people are supposed to be your friends and they are saying mean things to you?!?

oh hell no, there's no way you should ignore that. those people should be the main ones you can trust to be on your side.

personally, i'd tell those b*tches to kiss my fat *kitten* and go drink a cup of bleach because they've voted off the friendship island.

as for family, i'd mean comment right back at them.. people tend to stop saying mean stuff to you when you remind them about how their spouse is cheating, how they can't keep a job, how they just lost their house, how they're losing their hair, etc. i'd rather be evil :devil: than a doormat

don;t be afraid to let go of the crappy negative people in your life. when you do it frees up space for you to have good quality folks come in

Well, there are times when I join in and laugh at myself (Asian culture, everybody makes fun of each other)

There are times when I turn on them and make fun of them.

But the most fun is when I know its somebody who doesn't mean jack to me and I get to tell them to go "pleasure" themselve

Wow ~ I am so sorry that you have people in your life who would say such things ~ it is specially sadden when it is our our family who are so destructive and negative towards us

I agree with the others ... people who feel the need to tear others down, use derogatory comments and spew negativity toward others do so because they have insecurities and failures in themselves they are embarrassed/ashamed off and in an effort to distract themselves from dealing with those issues they focus on what they perceive as imperfections and failings in others in an effort to feel better about themselves!

For years in my life I allowed others to treat me this way too because for years I believed the way people spoke to me to be 'true' that I deserved to be treated that way that I was worthless, a failure and so forth .... than one day I realized that these people are not 'friends or family' who I NEED in my life that I deserved more that I wanted more from my life and that life was too short not to be surrounded by people who wanted the best for me ... I choose to walk away from those who would hurt me with their words, who would hold me down and knock the wind out of my sails when I tried even if I failed at it ... I choose to seek out new friends and people to call 'family' ... people who support me to follow my dreams, people who give me a hand up when I fall down and tell me to try again rather than look down at me and say 'see knew you'd fail'!

I know it is hard but sometimes we need to stand tall and tell others NO I will not allow you to treat me like this and if you choose too than I will have to remove you from my life because your actions and behaviour are full of toxic energy and I do not want nor need that in my life .... our journey here on this earth is precious ~ we need to seek out those who bring positive energy and light to share it with!

Call out the mean people on their mean comments. Seriously, when a mean person makes a comment like the one about the cake, just say something along the lines of "I know I'm fat, do you know you're a jerk?"

That may not make the comment hurt any less, but it will gain you support from others around you. You have to practice these statements before the fact, because when we are being attacked either physically or emotionally, we tend to freeze. Practice first, then let the mean people have it when the time is right!

To be cliche, No one can insult you without your consent

I was called fat a#% and fat slob when I had already started losing weight..it didn't bother me as much as I thought it would because I was working hard to get the weight off already..now the people who said that have not been doing so well..one gained 30 or so pounds and the other has an eating disorder..I don't say anything mean but it really shows that karma exists. I've lost 54 lbs so far and I worked hard for it so it's okay. What I'm trying to say, dear, is ignore those people..keep doing what you're doing and prove them wrong! You can do this. The haters are going to hate because they are insecure and jealous. I know that's true cause I've known so many people like that.

don't let them stop you doing it.
They clearly think you haven't got it in you to succeed but you will and then they will have to focus on some one else to get their mean kick.
use it to push you're self to reach you're goal and that they are being rude about you to take their minds of their own bodies.
