    I don't know if there is a better community of loving and supportive people than you guys here at MFP. Thank you so very much for the support. For those of you who are just now reading this post for the first time, I posted this back in October. Since then, I have lost 30 pounds and completed two 5k walks. I circuit train, lift weights and started C25K. I am down about three dress sizes. I have 70 pounds to go and I expect to meet that goal this year. I did NOT let them deter me. It is because of the support that I received back then (and continue to receive today) that I have stuck with this. I am not a role model, but I am committed to doing this. Take the ride with me and together we will show all of the mean girls of the world how awesome really looks. =0)

    You lost 30lbs in 2 months? oh my gosh you are insane, awesome work!

    ugh. You just broke my heart.

    I've been at this weight loss/weight gain/exercise thing, it seems, forever. I've given away all my size 5 and 7 jeans a long time ago....last month I gave away my size 9s...It felt good to let go.

    I know in my heart that I am healthy and strong even if I am a bigger size.

    I'd like to punch that *beep* in the face for you! *hugs*

    Keep on doing what you are doing. I'm glad you posted this...I'm still fat too, but at least I'm healthy and happy.

    Words have weight and meaning. They can hurt or heal. To say that words don't mean anything is to lie.
    Wars have been fought over words. People kill and die over words.
    However, do not give those girls' words more power than they deserve.
    Those girls are small.
    They are petty.
    They are mean-spirited.
    They are shallow.
    Cruel.
    So, while the word "fat" will be associated with you (and definitely with ME) for a few more days, weeks, months and, depending upon the progress you make, years, those words above will more than likely ALWAYS apply to those girls. It is unlikely that they will find positive change without some sort of awakening.
    So let their harmful words be like them: small.
    Don't give them more power than they deserve. Let them fade away, as they will from so many people's lives.
    Don't let those girls walk around rent free in your head.
    They have moved on to another victim. Giving them space in your head only makes you a continual victim of them.
    They are not worth that. In fact, they aren't worth the second thought.

    This guy is awesome! :happy:

    My initial thought: selfish b**ches.

    Ignore them and keep doing what you're doing. All your hard work will pay off :)

    The only thing that can steal your accomplishments and joy are listening to what thoughtless and obviously unhappy people have to say about you. Those people don't matter or deserve to have an opinion about you. Keep your head up, keep going day after day, and keep being proud of yourself. That's something that will bring you everything and listening to other people's intentional nastiness with bring you nothing positive.

    Im so glad that you didnt let that horrible comment stop you! Of course it's upseting but people are RUDE!! not always and not everyone but that was such a terrible thing to say to someone, a complete stranger, who's out there trying to make a positive change. Just horrible!! What a bunch of little B*tches, seriously, just terrible!

    Again good for you for not letting it get the better of you, try not to dwell on it, cause really who cares what a bunch of mean little girls have to say? They mean nothing and you'll never see them again.

    Keep up the good work and remember to smile, because you're beautiful!!!

    I'm so sorry that had happened to you and I'm glad to see you report back that you are doing so great!!! I've also experienced similar things both as a teen and into my adult life. When I first started losing my weight in 2007, I was doing most of my exercise at our university's fitness center. Walking the indoor track etc. So I'm sure you can imagine. Seeing the really fit people going flying past me on the track plus the looks and comments. It was hard at times. Working out with someone helped a lot, my husband started going with me. Stuff people say to me really stays with me, I've always took stuff to heart as some people say. But I've gotten a lot better with the weight stuff...I let it stop me for too many years! Great job and hope you meet all your goals!

    What I learned from OP's post: She is a sweet wonderful individual and those girls are stupid crappy meangirl teenagers. I feel sorry for THEM. How insecure and unhappy they must be to have done such a thing. I hope one day they will grow as people and look back on this incident and feel shame. For their sake.

    Rock on OP. :heart: :drinker:

    I'm really glad to see that you didn't let those silly girls stop you from continuing on your journey! Some people just need to be negative to others and hurtful to make themselves feel better! It's their problem, not yours! You are doing what's best for you. Keep up the great work!

    They were not trying to steal your joy, but somehow find a way to bring more joy into their lives.

    Remember, the world isn't mad at you, but at themselves. It's just easier to try and find somebody to be mad at (or poke fun at w/ mal-intent)

    You keep doing you, and I promise you are ALREADY in a better place than whomever that was, is.

    They are obviously insecure. You're doing amazing!! Karma will get them, not to worry.

    Just a note, though... Women like that will still treat you bad when you look good, too. The comments will just be different (replace "you're still fat" with "b****, she thinks she's something"). It's just who they are, and we should all feel bad for them and the sad lives they have to live, not for ourselves. Hold your head high and forget them.

    Oh sweetie.. People can be so cruel. Those pathetic girls obviously feel inadequate in some way. In the end, you should be the one laughing because you have enough self-worth and self-esteem to not have to put others down in order for you to feel good about yourself. You're doing that from the inside :)<3

    You are beautiful inside and out ! How those girls acted make them "ugly" and... who knows, one day maybe they will all become fat! Don't let them get you down or saddened. It's not worth it !! If they only knew how much weight you lost and how you are dedicated to your well being, they would have shut their mouths. Continue on with your bad self and smile to the world and especially to the lady in the mirror!!
