Just got a rude comment on the street : (

I was just out walking my dog, and some older guy came up behind me riding his bike. I think he was trying to warn me that he was there, but his method for doing so was to say, "Watch out, big girl!" I have actually seen this guy around before, and I think he might have some sort of mental illness, but, nonetheless, this made me want to cry. So I thought I'd come and post here for moral support. Thanks for listening.

Wow, mental illness or not I would have went off on him. He comments to the wrong person and he is going to get shot.0

What an *kitten*! You don't deserve that. I'd throw a stick in the spokes of his wheels next time lol0

Mental illness or not, what a jerk! Dont worry, chivalry is still alive and well with MOST of us! Stay positive!!0

Dude's an *kitten*. 5'5" and your weight is not "big".
Next time push him off his bike.0 -
I would not listen to a thing he has to say!!0

Ugggg, I really hate that for you. Some people are so insensitive! Please remember that you are your best friend, make a list of all the things you like and love about yourself and forgive him for his ignorance. Next time you see him say something incredibly nice to him. Kill them with kindness!0

I'm so so sorry. No one deserves to be talked at like they're less. You're beautiful, and worth a lot. Prove him wrong, and go find something that's a personal self esteem booster :-)0

Sorry to hear that Some people can be so hurtful and don't even realize how deep their words can cut! Don't let it get you down though. You are here doing something positive for YOU and even though you may no be where you want to be, you're not where you were yesterday. Keep your head up and focus on your health. You're on an amazing journey, keep up your hard work0

hey i've just seen this. I hope you're feeling ok now and have totally disregarded his comment. I'm not sure what your heritage is as you have no picture, but in some countries that's seen as a complimant. Maybe just maybe that's how he meant it???
I used to get called thunder thighs alot and when I was younger it seemed a bad thing, but now I love having big strong legs. take it with a pinch of salt girl, he doesn't know you or your struggle. move on from it and just focus on your own personal goal0 -
The term "big girl" should never be used in reference to someone over the age of 5. That sucks that he said that, and I know it never feels good, but don't let it get to you. If you're out walking, you're already shrinking, so just ignore him. If that doesn't work, keep a stick handy so the next time he rides by, you can hit him with it..or throw it under his tire. Haha0

Not sure what he was thinking. Some people are just mean about things and if he was mental ill, then you can excuse him for not understanding. But don't let it get you down. Shake it off like water off a duck's back.0

I'm sorry that happened. People are always going to have something negative to say. It's the horrible nature of the world but the main thing is that you have people who support you and0

So sorry. No one likes to be treated like that! Keep your chin up and know that you are doing great and your doing this for yourself. Screw all the mean people!!!0
-
Its ok!! there are plenty of jerks out in the world, all that matters is that you have taken charge of your own life and will succeed!
P.S. I would have pushed him of his bike....0 -
People suck. But the people here saying to push him off his bike and tell him off if he has a mental illness... that's even worst.0
-
Ugh! I wish people would think before they speak! I'm sorry you had to have his rude comments a part of your day! Don't take it to heart, though. He has no idea what sort of journey you're on right now. Chin up!!0
-
Wow, some people never cease to amaze me!
