Being Called fat hurts

At least if you lose it, it won't happen anymore. Sad but true. People may even hold doors for you and find you attractive :flowerforyou: Use this as motivation to get healthier but tbt, you are perfect just the way you are. Don't listen to what other people tell you; they don't know you. :bigsmile:

Sounds like you are under age for MFP.

Fat is what you have, not what you are.

thank you - i like this line.

Rude comments certainly hurt. You can let it bother you or use it as additional motivation to continue doing something to get healthy. Her assessment of you should only matter to you if her opinion matters to you -- and by the tone of this statement, I see no reason that it should matter to you. Put it behind you and move on. As one said, you can lose weight and be awesome, she on the other hand has a psychological problem that will haunt her long term... Best wishes on attaining your goals. You rock.

You have to learn to brush it off. People are going to call you all sorts of dirty names in your lifetime and will look for the most obvious thing to attack you with. Who you are isn't fat and it IS something that you can change.

This^^

I'd be more upset about her lack of creativity than anything else.

I agree completely.

You set yourself up for that! Why would your ENEMY give you a pat on the back and say "great job" keep up the good work! You are "fighting" with her, in a fight, ANYTHING GOES...if you did not know that, NOW you know. Get Tough or don't "fight".

Some people might yell at me, you included, for this. I haven't looked at your profile, I don't know how big you are, maybe you aren't that big or maybe you're morbidly obese. This is more for the morbidly obese people. I've been overweight too, obviously why I'm here. The way I see it is fat isn't an insult for one, it's a description, just like you would call someone skinny, a lot of really skinny people get offended by being called skinny. Like if you're morbidly obese you know you're fat, and if you don't realize that, well you should and some really hurtful insult, as bad at this may sound, might help you in the long run if it makes you stop and think about your body and your health and yourself.
The thing about a lot of fat people is that they are either lazy or lack willpower, both which are not so great traits. You are doing something about it, so you're making the change, 2 lbs is better than nothing. But like...the thing with being fat, if you're really fat (because, I myself have thyroid issues and I know that and other health problems can make you gain weight even if you're eating healthy etc. etc.) but that only does to some extent, if you're morbidly obese you're doing that to yourself, and I feel no sadness for people who can't walk or are dying because they're so fat. they did it to themselves and they could change if they wanted to and really tried to just like all of us. And they don't.

That's the stigma with being fat.
the thing is, if you are fat and you're losing weight, you should have come to terms with the fact that you're fat, and you want to change, so I see things like that as motivation, show them you can do it, and you aren't going to be fat forever.

Once you lose weight people might say that you are an obessive dieter or something else negative, you just gotta roll with the punches.

I think anyone that does something like that is like a bully...they do that to make themselves feel or 'look' better around their peers, or have some insecurity issues about themselves.

Let it motivate you! The greatest revenge is to stop talking to her, and reach your goal! (-;

I dont care what anyone says. Being called fat HURTS!!
But please keep your head up, look forward, and work towards your goals!

She sounds like a hateful *****! And I agree with everyone here, you can lose weight but she will always be a c***

As for being called fat, I use it as motivation because frankly right now, I am fat! And I've found that once you come to terms with it it can't hurt you any more.

I'm fat. Big deal! And I'm doing something about it
