Please shake it off. Everyone Everywhere has an opinion and None of it matters.7

My first instinct is to say you misheard, it's just too strange that someone would say something like that out loud, at a gym. Given that you didn't see the person who said it, perhaps it wasn't directed towards you. Maybe it was something innocuous, like a tease between too friends.
If it WAS directed at you, I might be thinking about how sad a life that person must have. Who would want to be in a relationship with a jerk like that? What are their chances of having a decent career if they have no filter? You are in the gym becoming a better version of yourself. Whoever uttered that, if it was meant with malice, for you or someone else, has problems that are a lot bigger than a calorie deficit could solve.22 -
Don't let this stop your progress. Keep at it and be back at that gym tommorrow.
Good luck7 -
People will always be jerks, to various people, for various reasons.
People like that don't matter.7 -
*kitten* THAT *kitten*. you're a babe and you're a *kitten* badass for being there in the first place. don't do anything you'll regret tomorrow, but even if you do, the sun will still rise tomorrow.4

Don't stress, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, if you let it. If someone is negative towards you at the gym, they obviously have a lot of other issues going on. Poor person really. Let's focus on you though, you're going to have set backs, self doubt, but channel the negative energy you have from that into something positive! Try out a boxing class to take out your frustration, or pound your feet harder on that treadmill to prove to yourself and to whoever brings you down that you got this!! It's about perspective, through challenges from others and from yourself you become mentally emotionally and in this case physically stronger. Hope this helps!4

Was this a middle school gym? Because that's some juvenile behavior!

Thank you all for being so kind! It definitely was an eye opener for sure.. this guy pulled up behind my car and rolled down his window just to yell that at me.. i just didn't think people like this still existed.. i seer it in the movies all the time.. or just hear about it.. it was very puzzling and i kind of froze at that moment.. thank you all again.. im going to use everyone's advice and use this as motivation not a break down.. i didnt eat my feeling this time .. Thank you again ❤18

People can be dicks. You can't change that they've been dicks in that moment, but you can change whether you let them continue to be dicks in your head long after they've forgotten about you.6

Reframe this for yourself. You were at the gym. You were working out. You are pursuing your weight/fitness goals. You are awesome and what you should have heard is that you are "phat!" Own it! Keep up your good work and establish your self-worth from the inside...you know yourself...the idiot that used the term "fat" has no idea who or what you are...that is something only you know.8

You are working hard at getting healthy. Perhaps you're overweight. You're at the gym. You will someday soon be in better shape.
The guy in the car will never be anything other than a worthless prick. He can work out all he likes, but no matter how hard you try, you just can't polish a turd.5 -
Our reality is determined by what we tell ourselves about any given situation. You are in control of that. Maybe he really did mean you are phat! You are beautiful and awesome and in control of your life!!1

That person is just trying to make you feel bad about yourself because they are insecure themselves. Once you realize people who try to put you down must themselves be very sad, you can't take it seriously anymore. Just think about the dark soul you must need to put people down for no reason. That person's opinion has no worth. You are doing the very thing you need to do to fix your problem, so feel proud.
The ultimate revenge is to not let it get to you, and to get the body you want.7 -
Wow! Throat punch Thursday would have been early round here. It's easier for you to change your weight, than it is for him to change whatever his human decency malfunction is.6

He's the one with the problem, not you. He's driving around yelling insults at random people who are at the gym improving their health.
How sad his life must be that he gets his jollies doing pathetic things like that.
Someone who treats people like that, his opinion means nothing. You keep doing you and being awesome at it!

that's just bullying. it sucks and it shakes everyone up when it happens to them.
but it's not about you. hang in. it's some random dick in a car who's already not part of your life anymore.3 -

I'm so sorry that happened to you, especially since the whole reason you were there was working to improve your life to work to get healthier, mind, body & spirit.@focusunique
I love the quote below. I feel empowered & a sense of freedom when I read it, looking forward to making it my reality.
Perhaps it'll give you some hope as well.
