    People on the internet called me manly. I feel bad for them. Must suck to hold such terrible thoughts on how others look and to be concerned enough about another's appearance to bother commenting.

    Really?! If you look manly, then *kitten*, sign me up! :drinker:

    Honey, you look gorgeous. You should only be proud of your success and pls don't total strangers ruin your day. Let them be green with envy!

    "It is better to be hated for who you are, than loved for who you are not." - Kurt Cobain

    Basically: you worry about you and let them worry about themselves. Don't seek approval about the way you look from a bunch of strangers. If you think you look good and you're happy with your healthy lifestyle (at least I hope it is healthy) then stick with it and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

    You go girl! You should be proud of what you have accomplished. They are immature and envious. It has nothing to do with you. It is all about them, so don't take it to heart. Keep it up! :)

    someone on the internet was mean to you?? that's unbelievable. usually people on the internet are so level headed, and not strongly opinionated or anything.

    LETTING it affect you is what they want. Essentially it's their "power" over you. When you respond with defense, anger, sadness, etc., they're getting their kicks.
    The thing is even IF they approved, how would that change your life? Would you be more financially secure? Or make you better at your job? Enhance your current relationship?

    Probably not. So really, why does it matter what others think of you? There will always be supporters and detractors. That's just the way it is. YOU choose whether or not to let it affect you. And IMO, you shouldn't.

    If someone is being hurtful, report them. MFP does not want bullies on their platform. Also, here in the US online bullying is a criminal offense. Be assertive and protect yourself, your friends, and MFP.
