Do you ever want to punch someone??

I hate to say it (because as adults we are responsible for our own actions), but when I hear and see these kind of people i have to ask myself who raised these people? People are not born this way, they develop this way through parenting and social norms. It is people like that who I feared and thus would avoid doing things I loved, that would have kept me active, and avoid me from getting fat. I didn't want to embarrass myself, so I never put myself out there.

But, you should be very proud of yourself because you are out there doing something good for yourself. It is when you stop, that you victimize yourself, and give those type of people power. i'm proud of you! Way to go girl!

I'm so sorry that happened to you. I can't believe sometimes that there are still such sick, cruel people in the world. It reminds me of this woman I met when we were recently away. We were playing a game at the resort, and the girl who won was annoying, trying to give multiple answers to questions, etc. Anyway, the woman was watching the game, and came up to me after and said she saw me playing, and mentioned the girl who won being a pain in the *kitten*. I agreed, and then she said, "I was like, 'stupid n#g#er.'" I was totally floored that people like this still exist. I gave her the cold shoulder after that. Anyway, good for you for not letting it get you down. People like that suck, and are truly unhappy inside. That is its own revenge.

People like that just have no respect for others and I'm sure you aren't the only person he felt the need to put down (to make himself feel good).

I can't even imagine talking to anyone like that...I'm sorry that happened to you but good for you for just ignoring it and moving along.

:flowerforyou:

He was probably compensating for his lack of having a life.

I often wonder where these people come from. Since when is it other peoples job to feel that they need to police everyone else?

Unbelievable!
Don't let one *kitten* get you down!
Besides, if you are out moving and on MFP as a way of becoming healthier. It is for you and your family. Not some ignoramus who has much to learn about respect & dignity.

Rock on!

People act like that because they are such losers that the only way they can make themselves feel good is by cutting others down.

Just based on that, I'd say you're a better person than whoever that jerk was. Don't listen to him. And keep in mind that physical appearance doesn't dictate whether you are a good, wonderful, beautiful human being.

this is most definitely right^

Just shout back 'hiya limp d ick' give him your brightest smile & keep on walkin' (say it LOUD)

lmao!..

some people are just born ignorant i would just keep it moving and do you..

I don't see how he benefits from insulting you. He must have some deep insecurities and likes to tease others to feel better about his miserable self. Good you for not feeding his behaviour!

I would have b*tch slapped him ~ but that's just me.

ME TOO! and yes I work with the devil everyday and want to punch right in the mouth everytime she opens it! She had gastric bypass 3 years ago and along with losing the weight she loss the fact that without the surgery she would still be overweight. She has many issues but her mouth and her attitude are the worse. She thinks she is the boss, which she isn't. and she thinks she is the only one that knows how to do our job even though we started in the position at the exact same time!!!!! thanks for letting me vent!!!!!!
