    And if you were super fit, they'd probably yell some other disgusting thing at you...just on the other end of the spectrum.

    You're not the problem, clearly. Shrug it off. Don't let it change your motivation one way or other because they don't matter.

    ew- that's poopy OP- don't worry about it though. People who give people a hard time about working out are like people making fun of sick people at hospitals- it's just nonsensical and mean- and it's completely illogical. Don't let the illogical person ruin your day. Keep on keeping on!!!
    2 years ago when I was 40 pounds overweight a woman turned me down for a second date because "there was no physical chemistry". I was crushed, guys learn how to handle rejection at an early age but most people coach it in different terms to save your feelings.

    I'm now 40 pounds lighter and have pretty good muscular definition & tone. I ran into the same woman recently at the grocery store and suddenly her whole manner is different, shes leaning in while we talk and very flirty. After making pleasantries I said goodbye and she stops me and asks for a coffee. I was classier than her and just said "Thanks but I'm seeing someone" but damn if it didn't feel good.

    Keep going, revenge is delicious.


    I don't understand- she wasn't attracted to you- did you expect a complete stranger to be wildly attracted to a personality she barely knew??
    I'm sorry you were rejected- and i'm glad you've come a long way and congrats on the weight loss- but I don't understand how this is anything remotely like someone yelling cruel things out the car window. Had she said- you're just to fat for me to date- I'd see the connection/correlation- but she was genuine- didn't waste her time or yours.

    I'm not attracted to over weight guys either- I don't care for red heads either: it doesn't make me a bad person- just personal taste.

    So, Just came back from a 4.26 Mile walk, fairly brisk pace, think I'm doing pretty well, I've lost over 40 lbs, and while walking a car drove past & someone yelled out the window "WALK FASTER FATTY" Made me feel a little like all my hard work is nothing. Not sure if this makes me feel unmotivated, or more motivated to 'show them' Still trying to sort out my feelings right now and needed to vent!

    Reality check time!

    You say you've lost 40 pounds so far?
    Do you have any idea how many of us on MFP see that as INSPIRATION and aspire to be like you?

    I once read that life is 10% of what happens to you, and 90% of how you react to it.
    Chose not to react, it makes bullies powerless.

    Don't hate it, don't worry about it, and don't give anyone the right to bring you down or ruin your day.

    The second they drove away their own mind was already on their next miserable thought, not on you - so why put any more energy into their meaningless words?

    Don't allow them to make you doubt yourself or pause on your path.

    Hold your head up high and give yourself a huge pat on the back for your hard work; your successes to date and your continued commitment to your own health and happiness!

    What a poop head! I got that the very fist day that I decided to make a difference in my health. It was my first jog in about 2 years and I was running/shuffling down town and an entire group of men drinking in a beer garden laughed at me. I was so mad! What made me the most upset was what if I was someone who has never been in shape before in my life and didn't know if I could do it? What if I was already nervous about trying to run? What if I was someone who got discouraged easily? They could have so easily ruined someone's drive to make themselves healthier. Forget them! You are a super star!!!!

    Stay focus. Don't let this derail you from your goals.

    Next time flip that middle finger and make sure everyone sees. My daughter and I, we, both run outside all the time.

    We have stories after stories to tell of some good and not so good things. There are bad people and there are truly angels we have come across - total strangers. My daughter is athletic and a runner and yet has not been spared by a$$hol3s.

    Take Care. Good Luck.

    People are asshats. You are NOT A FATTY. You are a work in progress. Don't let one dill-hole get you down. He was probly on his way back to his mom's basement to watch porn and eat Cheetos.

    When I was finishing up my second 5k, some guy was shouting words of encouragement to runners. His words to me were, "you can do it, big guy!" Until that day, I didn't think of myself as a big guy. That was a year ago and the words still ring. I use them for motivation. ~~Scott

    Congratulations on losing over 40lbs. No need to come down on yourself. You will always be the winner simply due to the fact that you will be healthier then they are. Karma always has a way of correcting situations like this so "no stress". Keep up the good work and "power through" inconsiderate comments like that. :smile:

    I almost teared up. I do not understand how people can treat other human beings this way...

    Like, they don't know what you've been through or where you've been. Maybe there is a legitimate reason behind some people's weight issues, or even other issues that people deal with and are bullied for!

    I hate bullies... :(

    You've worked hard and are going faster than that jerk sitting his *kitten* in a car. You can't be responsible for other people's bad manners.

    Don't let it get to you. It's just a comment from someone that's ignorant and gets their rocks off by trying to humiliate someone else.

    Something similar (with less impact) happened to me a few months ago. I was jogging (slowly, but surely) at a park in town. I was coming up on a small group of kids (maybe 4-5yrs old) and their moms. As I got closer, I saw one of the little boys turn to his mom, then points at me and says to her, "Look at that fat guy, mom!". It was upsetting at first, but mainly because I let myself get so big that even LITTLE kids were pointing me out. But I realize, it was just a kid... and the mom looked like she was mortified and apologized profusely as I passed by. I just smiled and waved and went on my merry way.

    It's happened to me so many times, I've trained myself to knee-jerk respond with a double fist-punch into the air and a hearty, "WOOOOOO, YEAH!!!!!!!", and sometimes a jaunty butt shake.

    I find that shuts them up a lot faster. ;) They clearly can't handle the callipygian Venus in front of them.

    You keep doing you, girl!
