My boss made me feel like crap....

Like was mentioned earlier, his cruel and heartless comment is more a reflection of what a piece of caca he is rather than a slight against your accomplishment! Keep your chin high and prove to him that you're a better person. You've started a good thing, and you will be able to finish it!

Unfortunately... for some reason people feel it's okay to talk/look down to others who are overweight. We all experience it in one way or another. I was once told that I didn't get a job because they were "looking for someone to be the face of the company." What do you even say to something like that? It should be discrimination, but it's not considered so.

You are amazing for achieving that level of weight loss! You certainly don't need some *kitten* telling you anything different. *hugs*

Someone here linked this poem a while back... I like it a lot, I think it may help:

“It’s No Fun Being a Fat Girl” ~ A Poem

It’s no fun being the fat girl,
As I’m sure you can all relate:

I’m tired of elastic waistbands and poppin’ buttons,
Of the chaffing thighs,
And the “Oh my my’s”
Shopping in the “women’s” department
And being the fattest one at a party.

I’ve had it with being the wing “man,”
The biggest bride’s maid,
Avoiding the beaches and bathing suits,
Looking at my chins multiply,
And trying to love my love handles!

It’s no fun when someone asks when the baby’s due,
When someone is outright rude—
And comments on how fat you’ve gotten,
Sadly, I have learned that being obese gives people permission
To treat you like you have no feelings.


Every girl wants to fit into that little black dress,
To feel good about how she looks—
To get compliments and to dress to impress,
But squeezing bulges into the latest fashions
Is no easy task, and that fat sure is hard to mask!

I done with hearing men’s insults,
I’ve learned never to ask, “Honey, do I look fat in this?”
I’ve heard I’ll leave you if you get fatter more that once,
And some boyfriends have tried to tell me how to eat,
Watching me every moment to see if I will cheat.

It’s nearly impossible to fit into a classroom desk,
An airplane seat or restaurant booth,
A crowded elevator . . . a roller coaster seat,
Some women embrace their fat,
And date fetish men that think of them as meat . . .

But that is not me.
I hate being big; I hate avoiding people because I gotten so fat,
I hate being the fattest friend,
I hate the wiggles and the jiggles and the cellulite thighs
The stretch marks and the strained bra strap.

I want to take pictures and not throw them away,
I want to know what it’s like to be thin,
I want to know what it’s like to wear a size ten,
I want to be the object of desire—
I want to feel like the Goddess that I know I am.

It’s no fun being the fat girl,
I’m ready to shed those layers of protection,
Those layers of self hate,
And do this for me
I’m going to lose this weight!

I’m sure you can all relate.

I am sorry that happend to you!!!!!! You are doing amazing dont let someone like that take away all of your hard work!!!!!!

So proud of you keep it up!!!!!!

Excuse my language, but that guy is an @sshole. Does your company have an HR department? I would lodge a formal complaint. That's discriminatory and no one should have to stand for that.

As for you, you should be so proud of yourself! Any amount of weight loss, especially as much as you have achieved, is extraordinary. You and your success helps those of us who are just starting find our motivation to keep chasing you and your numbers. If my ex-husband taught me anything, when someone tries to knock you off your pedestal, show them how low they are by raising yourself up higher!

You should be proud of yourself and ignore the jerk! Try to turn this around to motivate you instead of being frustrated. You are at the right place (MFP) with all the people support you. It's very important to be surrounded with positive and supportive group.

u no what?turn every negative into a positive,and say to urself that u wont let urself get back to 235,and if u do,tell him and the rest to line up to suck ur *kitten* with a striped straw.ppl can only get u down if u let them.so wipe the tears away and move on to your journey.

Ur beautiful! Don't ever have anyone make u feel otherwise!!! 

Keep a written record of it if you're not taking it to HR right now. I'd take it to HR if I could though. That's not okay! Plus, you are doing awesome!

Unfortunately, there are always going to be people like that in this world. My "brother" posted a picture on Face Book of a grossly obese woman posting a sign looking for her lost Chihuahua and the dog was stuck in the crack of the woman's behind. Why did he post this? To make fun of me........I was grossly obese and I have four chihuahuas. He thought it would defeat me but I used it for motivation and I'm almost half way to my goal. Please don't let petty people define who you are! Rise above them my dear and you will have the last laugh! Friend me if you want. :flowerforyou:

i dont know where u work but u should report that *kitten* to HR!!!! what a jerk!!!!! he obviously has NO class. whenever he says rude things like that just remember, "you can go to school, but you cant buy class."

Wow. Ive had awful bosses like that. Maybe his cat died.

well now he let his true colors show through and he is just a jerk....feel proud of how far you have come. It takes a very "big man" to make someone feel so small anything to make himself feel better, sometimes it's the only way people feel better about themselves when they can make someone else feel terrible.

You keep your head up and keep going and we are all here for you! Screw him!

Girl, you are doing amazing! Nothing he says can take that away from you. You have made the choice to embrace a healthier life and its working. HE is disgusting for letting himself become such a sef righteous @$$. Way to go on your weight loss, keep it up

Why do you care what your boss says? What matters it that you feel better...you notice... and you are proud of yourself.

Many of us want to respect our managers and look to them for guidance. I don't find it ironic she used the word guidance.

My department got a new boss once who badgered me from day one. I said that won't matter, I know who I am. Well after nearly 3 years of this it did matter. She had issues.
