Total jerk.

People used to say things along those lines to me- in high school I was dubbed the ugly weird girl. I had a "high school BF" once and many people asked him the same question and remarks. Even though he was the least bit athletic. He listened to them and dumped me for this girl down he street. I use it as personal motivation. I think, one day, "I'll show them" and pretend that I'm shaking my fist in my mind.

I work hard because I like seeing the look of surprise on people's faces. Reactions are a huge motivation for me. Probably more so than any material-based reward.

Now that I'm 30, everyone is boggled down with children and post-pregnancy binging weight that they find difficult to lose. I'm like a fine wine, I just get better with age. I'm the same weight now as when I was 15 (I stopped growing at age 12). Not only that, I'm in the best shape of my life, so far, night now.

Now people are always asking me how I lost weight, what I eat, what I do to stay in shape. Hang in there. You're time to shine will come.

In all fairness, children are indeed a full time job. I think many mothers just aren't paying attention to what they are eating, since they are busy trying to get a picky toddler to eat.

First off, what's wrong with this guy that's he's gotta bring someone else down? That's pretty trashy. He doesn't know you. He doesn't know that you quote Wayne's World. (I kinda stalked your profile. Hope you don't mind. Feel free to do the same.)

I understand feeling defeated at comments like that. You've worked so hard and one little comment knocks the wind out of your sails. It can be hard to move past but you just have to remember to do you. What get's me back to me is listening to Eye of the Tiger. I know that seems cliche but it works for me. It helps me kill my workouts too.

It sounds like this guy is just going to hate no matter what. Feel sorry for him because he's missing out a lot of beautiful things in life. (I'm also gonna go out on a limb and say that someone calls him a douchbag daily.)

Not everyone is always going to like you. It's pointless trying to figure out their reasons or motives, as long as you're happy with who you are and your choices, don't pay him no mind.

That is awful unfortunately haters are going to hate.

Just punch him in the face. It helps.

And then carry on losing weight.

Gets my vote!

Oh man. Thank you so much guys. Next time he makes a comment, Im going to punch him in the face, quote waynes world and walk away looking fabulous. Haha.

Ha!

It sucks when someone says something like that and we freeze like a deer in headlights. I know your pain and have had a similar experience last year with strangers. In the moment, words fail me.

I like what one post said about saying to the person next to him how stupid he makes them look. Then, if the "jerk" tries to say something, you can say, "I am sorry, were you talking? I didn't hear you."

Wish I could of thought of that last year.

It makes me wonder if the "jerk" really likes you and that is his childish way of acting it out.

Go up to him and say hey ugly look at her point in the other direction and kick him where it hurts the most.

I used to wish I had a store of witty putdowns for things like him. But somehow they always manage to ridicule any response - even down to the childish ' woo woo woo woo' noises they tend to make when they have used their whole quota of words.

Now I stare at the person next to them and calmly and quietly ask 'do you know how stupid he makes you look?'

Normally gives them a bit of a pause for thought, during which I walk away.

As long as your bf despises him too you are OK. Ignore and move on.

Good luck with the weight loss.

^^ Yep!! I've been there honey - been called things like this by people I've crushed on. It truly says so much more about HIM than you! His confidence is low. His morals are low. His class is low. He's BELOW you. Don't think on it too much and if you do now and again think about it & feel hurt - use it to motivate you & push you forward! xoxo
