I was in the gym yesterday and some just pops out with "damn man!" what happen to you. You've put on about 60lbs. Funny thing is, I don't even know the guy. I don't live my life by what others think but I did feel ashamed.

    Pretty rude comment for him to say, especially not knowing you.

    You're doing well, just keep it up. The past is past, the future hasn't happened, there is only right now.

    Well it depends I guess, did he mean it as a compliment? If he thinks you're there trying to "bulk up" then he might have meant that you were looking more fit than before. If he's calling you fat on the other hand, I'd have had it out with him right there. I can't tell you I wasn't there, but I could see how that comment could have been meant either way.

    I am so tired of people who just say whatever comes to their minds, especially if it is hurtful. You should not be ashamed. HE should! xo to you. :)

    It seems so much more evident in society today that people act and react without thinking first.
    Don't let anyone give you an opportunity to stumble. You're on your way now, keep on keepin' on!

    In my home town there is this girl who looks like me, we lived on the same estate, went to the same school, we have the same hair colour, eye colour, skin tone and when we were younger the same build. People were constantly confusing us. Now we're adults this still happens in my home town. People come up to me and ask me how my brother is (I don't have a brother but she does) & tell me how much weight i've lost (as she is at least 100 lbs heavier than me) when in actual fact I've put on like 50 lbs in the last couple of years. I just roll my eyes and say I'm not Sarah. I often wonder if she gets the same thing in reverse.

    It's pretty rude to make a negative comment about somebodies weight... especially somebody you don't know well enough to get the right person.

    I would have said, "what happened to you? I thought you were a nice total stranger. But you've gained 60 lbs of a**hole."

    I really would...
