I went to the food court today to grab some asian food before my doctors appointment. The woman behind the counter was my friend's mom and she was the one who served me. After I paid, she asked me if I wanted any water. I said "yes" and before she was about to pour the water, she asked if I wanted any pop instead. I said "no I dont drink it"

She then said, "you look like you are a girl who likes to drink pop and not care about their weight" and then I said "no I do care, I recently lost 27lbs". Then she said "oh I cant really tell the difference, guess I havent seen you at your fattest weight"

That was so heartbreaking to hear :( It felt so discouraging and it also seemed like the rudest thing to say! :'(

    What a cow! Don't listen to people like this. I makes me wonder what her motivation for saying something like this is. Is her daughter (your friend) a large girl or something and she's jealous of the progress you've made? I don't get people like this. Just ignore them.

    she sounds insecure and jealous. The best thing to do is not let it get to you and keep coming back there skinnier! People suck sometimes! :smile:

    holy crap, total rudeness!!!!

    She a total moron. Girl , DO NOT let someone who is of low mental capacity to bother you. Know that you are working hard every day become a better person.

    Good point!! Her daughter has probably made comments & expressed jealousy over your weight loss!

    Sounds like this woman has no manners or regard for anyone's feelings. I probably would have told her exactly what I thought about her since we are bluntly telling everyone exactly what we think.

    wow. I have no idea where people get the guts or the urge to say crap like that.
    I'm so sorry someone did it to you.

    Sounds to me like you were the brunt of whatever had gone wrong for her that day. Look past her ignorance and pat yourself on the back for all you have achieved. I'd say you are well on your way to your goals!!:flowerforyou:

    ignore, cancel, delete, F7!

    That is all about HER, not about you.

    Hold your head high, you have made great progress! Don't let that idiot affect you.

    blessings.

    Uh yea that's way inapprpriate.

    Just keep trucking along- it doesn't matter what she says or what she thinks. YOU lost 27lbs. YOU are nearly in the 100's. YOU are going to achieve your goals inspite of naysayers and insenative people and inspite of whether people 'notice' or not.

    You got this. Don't dwell on people who aren't worth your time.

    what a *****...there are some things you just don't say to people. She is a parent so she should know it best to say nothing if you can't say something nice. She's just unhappy and spews that crap on other people. Please don't let her discourage you, keep up the good work and the next time she see you she will be able to tell you are loosing weight, let her be your motivation. Good luck

    On second thought.. You know what I would do? I would wait till everyone has responded with how RUDE and *****Y she is and then print it out and go hand it to her. When you hand it to her tell her that some people need a reality check and change they way they are, tell her you hope this helps! It's unbelievable how some people just don't use their brain before they speak!

    Exactly what I was thinking. Don't get your feelings over someone that works at a food court. I mean, really. Also tell her she's a rude *****. :)

    People that are unhappy and jealous in their lives like to take their misery out on others. Case in Point. Keep up the great work.

    odds are she DID notice and was just jealous. The worst trait in a Woman.
    If people like this are getting all riled up your doing something right!!!!
