    Wow, thank you for all of the incredibly supportive replies! Reading every post made me feel a little brighter. I just let it get to me at the end of the night but I understand now that what matters is what I myself believe, and I shouldn't let those types of insults from anyone get to me. Honestly, thank you for taking time out of your lives to concern yourselves with my dilemma!

    Oh my gosh 5' 5" and 139pds that is NOT fat! You are probably within your goal weight range!! I'm 5'3" and my top weight range is almost 140pds So if he was addressing you his vision is terribly off!! Plus he was drunk so no more needs to be said about that loser!!

    He was drunk, seeing double! You are not at all fat?

    ^^^ Love this!!

    You are NOT fat!! I am 5'5" and my ultimate goal weight is 140. For someone that height and weight you are well within a "normal weight" BMI so don't take it to heart! Dealing with scum like him stinks but just stay classy and shrug it off... his drunken opinion has absolutely NO merit whatsoever so don't let his hateful words define how you feel about yourself! :) Keep doing what your doing and have a great week!

    Eventually you'll achieve your health and physique goals. And that guy will still be a drunk ***hole.
    Exactly what I was thinking too ;)

    In 5, 10 or 15 years you will be living a healthy life while he will be a drunk on the beach. People will walk by him saying things like bum, drunk and a waste of skin. Dont let him get to you.

    This.

    Alcohol is a type of escape. Lashing out at others, while drunk or not, is a sign of insecurity.

    F him.

    Sweetie, I know how you feel... But the world does, unfortunately, hold too many idiots. In this case I would like to say two things to you:

    1. Just because someone says something, doesn't mean it's true. (This I learned from Dr. Phil :)

    2. I've seen quite a few posts here on the MFP forums about people themselves thinking, or that they've heard someone say, that this or that celebrity is fat, even when it's a really skinny celibrity (that, really, would need to gain couple of 1000 lbs to even reach a healthy BMI).

    Sometimes people are so desperate for attention/being popular/feeling good themselves that they don't care about what they say or how it affects other people, and they really don't care if what they say is true or not.

    *BIG hug*
