I just started longboarding (skateboarding) as a fun hobby to do in the summer and a way to get to my classes, and someone just made fun of me for it, told me I was fat, and that the bottom of my board probably scraped on the ground when I rode it.
That's the hardest thing, when you try to do something nice for yourself and something goes wrong. Part of me isn't even excited about my brand new board anymore. Especailly because I fell off the wagon and ate junk the past few weekends.
Do you guys ever get teased for being overweight? It's so hard.

Whoever said that is a total loser. Try to focus on your weight loss goal and the progress you've made. Keep skateboarding :happy:0

I'm so sorry you ran into such jerks. It does hurt, yes.
Try to shake it off. You don't need to keep company with such a-holes. Thank heaven you aren't related to them and have to deal with their crap every day!
Honestly, that's what I tell myself every time someone random makes a mean comment--"Someone has to live with that poor *kitten* and I get to walk away! "0 -
People who say those things often have insecurities of their own. You know you are doing something good for yourself. Prove people like them wrong by working hard to meet your goal. You got this!0

I know and understand how awful it feels to be called hurtful things. Try to shake it off, and ignore it.

Get back on your board, perfect your trik, and show 'em up later. I know how much it hurts; anyone who says otherwise is lying. I had the same thing happen to me by a DOCTOR for crying out loud - we were discussing my latest thyroid results, and he said "you can't be hyperthyroid, hyperthyroid people are SKINNY"- but at some point we have to realize that those people are just unhappy, insecure idiots.
You're stronger than them, and stronger than you think. It takes serious guts to get healthy, and even more to skateboard! So just keep it up, and know that in the end, you'll be the better person.
(In the meantime, you could always imagine them losing control of their boards over those jacks that just happened to fall out of your pocket....) 0 -
first of all- you aren't even fat. so don't pay attention. you might be overweight, bmi wise or in comparison to some of your peers, but you are not fat. and the person that called you that obviously has the maturity equivalent to a five year old.
just remember you will reach your goal and that kid will still be a stupid a**!!!!!0 -
They must have something wrong wit them if they feel the need to harass you. I understand the feeling somewat. I used to be 128lbs and I am now at 184lbs... I cannot recount the numerous times people have asked me if i am pregnant :noway: As soon as i hear the question my heart sinks and I feel like a big fat cow n want t eat myself into oblivion. :sad: But I try to remember that I have gained weight and some people are just not tactful about things like weight...
Plz dont let them deter you from doing something you enjoy. If u can skateboard then u do your thing! my husband used to get teased for being 240ish lbs and break dancing because he is chunky but that didnt stop him.
I try to look at it this way, if it werent for the bad things, the good stuff wouldnt be so lovely! You are doing great and the haters are gonna hate. They just jealous of you love! :happy:0 -
Big Mouth jerks are everywhere! shake it off, don"t get discouraged. Damn....I wish I was at your weight today; it's a struggle but don't get discouraged. Keep it up on skateboard, or any way fun to burn calories....just do it.....just have fun! Even if you stay at the same weight, just don't gain any more weight.0
-
Screw them!! Seriously, if skateboard is something you enjoy then keep it up! I know it hurts but if you quit then they win. As for the past few weekends, don't worry about it. Just move forward and know that you will do better next time. I think we all struggle on the weekends so you are not alone.
BTW, I took a peek at your pics and you are SOOOO NOT FAT! 0 -
I second what barefoot said.
That guy is a total insensitive jerk. If I were you what he said might hurt a bit, but it would fuel me some more to continue my journey.0 -
Use it to make yourself stronger, girl!
Realize that such a horrible comment could only have come from someone who has something equally as horrible going on, and has no outlet to deal with it, so they hurt other people. Feel stronger knowing that you are strong enough and secure enough with who you are that you're going out there and trying something totally new that you've always wanted to do!
Trust me, it sounds easy, but really, it's NOT as easy as it sounds to put yourself out there. I'm 28 and I've wanted to try out Roller-Derby for YEARS and I haven't been able to build up the guts to go to try-outs - I'm too chicken!

im an inch and a half shorter then you and 30 lbs heavier.
so if your fat, im obese.
seriously listen to the other people on here.
just keep doing what your doing, do what makes you happy
f the rest of the people.
obviously the board wasnt scaping because you can move haha.
ive seen your pics too. i would kill to look like that0 -
the person doing the calling is having a moment of INSECURITY--thats right--shout it outloud the next time they dare to utter the three letter word of humiliation--the only one they are humiliating is themselves--hold your head up high and smile because you know they are just jealous--A sociological explanation from a friend0
-
Probably just jealous of your sweet board! Maybe hopin you'll quit and sell it to em for cheap. Don't let that rude person get to you.0
-
Don't let that person be the cause of you falling off the wagon. Being called fat is hurtful every time no matter what the circumstances. I am sorry you had to go through that. Get back up on the skateboard and show that person that you can do it and then throw it in their face once you lose the weight you want to! C'mon girl your stronger then this to let your weight and someone ignorant person define who you are!0
-
I just get FLOORED every time I read posts like this? WTF is wrong with people? Seriously. Screw them. Oh my gosh it makes me furious! Please don't let them deter you. That means they won. Don't let them win!0
-
Don't let people get you down. Keep your head up and focus on the positive progress that you've made. I would KILL to be 158...0

People are going to be jerks,there is no escaping the *kitten* in life.I got called fat last night.I didnt let it bother me. I am a wierd beautifull cool fun person I WILL NOT let some random jerk make me feel less
I am sure you are also funny cool and all around awesom please dont let someones words make you feel any less0 -
People who call out names at other people: what is wrong with them? They are damaged people. There is something weird and wrong with them, I don't know what it is, is it just insecurity? When I'm insecure I don't try to hurt people with words. I hope! Who calls out names?
I know it hurts to hear. They know it, we all know it, that's why people do it. But we can also step back and see that only someone with some sort of damage would do that. Like, once you start to pity them, the power of their words will disappear.
Plus, you rock.0 -
I just looked at your pictures and trust me, you are FAR from being fat. Like a pervious poster said, obviously they have the maturity of a prepubecent, and have their own issues to work through.0
-
I'm fatter. Don't let it get to you. :flowerforyou:0

totally agree who ever told u that is an insecure unhappy idiot! who else would tease other people. how old is he/she 7?
if its a guy tell him to go play with his small vienna sausage lol.
and HELLO! u are so NOT FAT! i'm 5'5" and 165 and I dont feel FAT. Of course I have a ways to my goal but I feel pretty good at my weight. if I can stay at this weight and tone up all over I can honestly say I would be happy. Seeing that you are 2 whole inches taller than me, I cannot imagine u looking FAT.
so F-them! and do you! I wish I had the guts or skills to play sports. Never give up something you love for someone who means NOTHING! keep at it girl!0 -
How old was this person? I know it probably won't make you feel any better, but their obviously a huge tool. Don't let it ruin your fun. Get back on your board and ride it with pride. You're beautiful bb.0
-
just remind yourself that they say hurtful things because of their own issues and remember that your not losing weight for them but for yourself....besides try and look at it on the funny side...you might be able to change the look of your body but can they change their ugly faces0
-
People who put other people down are not happy with themselfs. I'm sorry that this happened to you! You just keep doing you and keep on long boarding.0
-
I seen your picks and saw that your trying to lose 15Lbs. Hmmm I think their ether jealous or got the hots for you your doing good don't worry about it. 0
-
from a dad ... ride your board ... focus on school ... you're fine, "F" those kids ... 5'7" 165 lbs ... not even close to 'fat" ... again, consider the source there are many very cruel people in the world ... I was made fun of constantly in my youth and into my twenties ...
signed
stuttering dad
oh and I had lots of zits and really bad hair ....
now go get back on facebook ...0 -
Don't worry about them...let your haters make you stonger. You keep doing what your doing and reach your goals and let them eat their words.0

i totally get ya..i was doing a triathlon a few summers ago and within the last few KM 's of the run i was passing then getting passed by these two guys..early 20's and fit looking...then one said " come on...we can't get beat by the fat chick"...i almost stopped dead!....i pushed hard and they crossed the line about 3 secs ahead of me....it bummed me out UNTIL i realized they had a wave start 6 mins ahead of me...which meant i kicked their butts
people can suck...
but you know what, i would rather be dead last ( and have been ) then give up the things that bring me joy
get on your board and shake that *kitten*0 -
