    ha!! though I do not recommend everyone taking your approach, wish I had been there to hear this exchange and see the look on her face when you did....I have shared MFP with so many people (mostly friends and not nasty folk encountered at the grocery). Some have taken it to heart and made healthy changes in their approach to weight loss, others are not yet serious enough to do so, but sharing my successes makes me stronger and has not hurt anyone who is listening....so...I will continue to do so and encourage you all to do the same!!

    I don't see anything wrong with my approach. It wasn't mean or hurtful, and she may have just learned something. For those who aren't raging b!tches, I share my success and motivate them. I even have a support group on FB that I moderate.

    Oh I love what you said and how well you worded it. Good for you! I definitely would have given her the angry eye and a mean mug but I always get too shocked for words to say anything when someone says something so completely idiotic and out of line to me.

    Love it!

    I'm proud of you, iddreams. You stood up for yourself in a dignified manner. you did not stoop to her level. Peiople like this poor woman are so sad within themselves. She needed justification for maintaining her unhealthy state and mistakenly chose to pick on someone whom little did she know had already done a great deal to make sure she enjoys many more happy and healthy years to come. Again, I am proud of your response and the dignity you maintained. YOU GO GIRL!!

    Thank you jfl613...there were so many mean things going through my mind, but at the end of the day I felt that the dignified response was to take the high road and maybe let her learn a thing or two. I won't lie though, if looks could kill she'd be dead. My daughter tells me I have the scariest evil eye in the world :tongue:

    There are so many times total strangers have commented on my food choices. I usually am so shocked I freeze up and can't put them in their place like you did. Good on ya!

    I work on the checkouts in at a large superstore and do indeed find that in general, people are what they eat!
    IE: the ratio of fatty, sugary foods to healthy raw items in their shopping tends to trend with their size, and how healthy they look and also well presented they are too!

    Oh my god...this is AWESOME! I love your response...good for you for putting her in her place. She probably thought she came out on top of that argument since she was obviously an idiot...but clearly you are in the right. This got me fired up for the morning...thanks! :smokin:

    You're doing exactly what she wishes she could do, but by the sound of it, she's just too lazy or stubborn to try. She is a miserable person who just wants to make everyone else around her miserable, too. She's obviously jealous of you, someone who chose to take the better path. BTW, I love that you didn't just ignore her, but educated her in the process of putting her in her place!
