Got called Fatty :(

yell back at them with "fatty mcfat fat"

LMAO!! My husband and I always say Mc with everything. Like drunky mcdrunk drunk, jerky mcjerk jerk..(not to each other, of course)!.you get it! happy

Yeah I wasn't called Fat but some old man in my community said " wow, is this Number 3 or 4 "- ( i have 3 kids Thank G-d) , But i don't want to hear that. I was too embarrassed to mention that to my husband. That seriously pissed me off. But i guess great motivation

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!

Let me begin with saying you're lovely and congrats on your progress. Now as far as what you heard...who cares?! Sure you're probably thinking "I care" but...you shouldn't. There is only one opinion that should matter, and that's your own. You know that you've lost over 40 lbs, you know the amount of effort you put into your health day in and day out, so only what you think about yourself should matter.

Some *kitten* driving by trying to make someone else feel bad because they're dealing with their own feelings of inadequacy shouldn't even be a speck on your radar. People who bully or pick on others are flawed, and they choose to pick on others because they know they're flawed. If the attention shifts from themselves to others, they hope people won't notice how flawed they are. Every time someone says something to put you down try to remember...Mind over matter, I don't mind because you don't matter (my hubby taught me that one)

Ignore them, Paula. Someone has nothing better to do than to criticize others.

Got a Walkman or a Discman? Or an MP3 player? Or a cellphone?
Got earbuds?

Find a few good stations, an audiobook, or some music you like, and take that on your walks. Boogie on while you're getting your exercise.

This. Just enjoy your little piece of the world and ignore the rest of it. Don't let asshats like this get into your head. 40 pounds is UH-MAZE-ING. Keep on keepin' on and soon enough they'll be rolling down the window to yell "MILF!" (Happened to me while walking my son to school. Swoon! LOL)

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.

People like that have a problem with themselves. Putting other people down makes them feel better. I can understand feeling unmotivated but whatever you do, do not let it get to you. I wish I could just blow out his fricken tires!

The LAST thing you should do is give this A-hole a second thought. I believe in karma, so no worries, they will get theirs. You just keep on doing what you are doing.:flowerforyou:

The cruel immature people just can't help their stupidity.

Stay motivated and keep kicking *kitten*!!

I was on a thirty mile bike ride with two friends, one of whom is a ripped PT and the other who is 5'3 and itty bitty. We were already ten miles in and stopped to take a water break-it was the middle of summer. A car drove past and the passenger yelled "You can't stop, you haven't even burned off a cheetoh yet!" Considering they were at out destination point when we showed up, were a bunch of scuzzy 20 something dudes, and we had ridden there while they had driven, I didn't take it to heart. But I still wonder-what the **** enjoyment did you really get yelling that!

Chin up buttercup, it will all be worth it!

Don't give a *kitten* what anyone besides your family and close friends think of you.

Find out where he lives, jump him in his sleep, and beat him so vigorously, you lose ten pounds doing it

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.
