Fat B*tch

It's the epitome of toughness though - shouting insults from a moving car, surrounded by your mates.

For OP

That's pretty rotten!! Don't let some stupid drunk dude make you cry. As others have said, love yourself as you are now and focus on your goals.

I've been called some pretty mean things when I was overweight. A long time ago, when I was still in high school, some boys used to sing "I'm a little teapot, short and stout" whenever I was near. I'll never forget that, but it strengthened my resolve to reach my weight goals.

Don't cry, dry your eyes! :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

I'm sorry that happened, and that it hurt you. Their opinion is worthless. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Several years ago, I was at a gas station late at night to get fuel after a long road trip to drive someone to the airport. There were two gas stations next to each other, I pulled into the first one that I saw, got out of my car, and saw that they were closed (despite all of the lights being on), so before I could get into my car to drive to the gas station next door, a woman that had also pulled into the closed gas station started walking towards me said "are they closed?", I said "yeah" and got in my car. It was like 2am, I was alone, I don't care who you are ~do not approach my vehicle~. I drove over to the other gas station next door, got out, and the woman followed me. She got out of her car and walked right up to me and started calling me a fat f*cking ugly *kitten* huge b!tch and why did I walk away from her like that and all sorts of other *kitten*. I told her to shut the *kitten* up and walked inside to go pay for my gas. She was out there screaming and calling me all sorts of names.

When I came back out, ready to call the police if she came near me again, her HUSBAND got out of her car. Walked right up to me. Apologized profusely for his idiot wife's actions. He told me that she was drunk and diabetic and her BG was out of whack and she was acting a fool. Offered to pay for my gas (I refused. I was still mad. Whatever).

So, yes, that guy was being a total d!ck to you. But maybe there was something else wrong with him. Maybe his dog just died. Maybe he just found out he has some terminal disease and was being angry and douchey for no reason. Maybe he's a raging alcoholic and is not aware of his actions and likely had no memory of saying that to you. Regardless, what he said to you is meaningless! :flowerforyou:

How do other people deal with this? Especially when they are ongoing a weight loss journey?

By not taking what drunken *kitten* say seriously.

So tonight I was walking around campus with a friend, and some drunk jerk called me a fat b*tch from the window of his passing car. There were some other phrases there too, about how my friend only hung out with me to make her look good (she's probably a size 6/8). I just, I don't know. It really upset me, and it's causing me to cry. I know that it shouldn't upset me this much--that they were just the harsh words of a drunk person that doesn't know me, but I can't help but cry. I don't want to feel this way and hate the way that I look, but I do. Having a stranger point out my flaws is just the bitter icing on an already awful cake. How do other people deal with this? Especially when they are ongoing a weight loss journey?

Just imagine having sex with a drunk. The sickening odor of partially metabolized alcohol emanating from the pores and especially from the slimy mouth, the stale penis probably in need of a wash, the slurring, the dead eyes, the sloppy fumbling technique, the roughness. Thank your lucky stars drunks yell insults at you rather than asking you out on dates :laugh:

I almost feel sorry for the drunk now...... I said almost lol

OP this is for you :flowerforyou:

I get why your upset i would be too, it's embarrassing and insulting but Your on a journey to losing weight, becoming healthy and bettering yourself, ....he has to wake up tomorrow still being just a loser who cowardly call people names from a moving car.

It happens to me sometimes.

I've noticed that when I'm thin, I just have other things shouted at me.

Some people say things like that because it makes them feel powerful. I feel sorry for them. Think how tiny their worlds are, and how little they will achieve. Trapped in a prison made of their own small-mindedness.

In fact, someone did once call me fat to my face. I told him that I could pick his maggot-like body up above my head, and throw him into the street. Being big has its advantages.

In a short while you will be a healthier you while he will be no closer to achieving his goals. I honestly feel that when someone insults you it is a reflection upon some unhappiness they have within their own life.

This OP. I go through this too. I know your pain. I get angry more than any other emotion though.
