    As fat people, we're easy targets for ridicule.
    Deep down people fear getting fat, so they lash out. Ignore it.
    That's why we're here getting better and better each day.:drinker:
    KEEP PUNCHING!

    I was jogging with a friend today (and before I go any further, you have to understand that I NEVER jog in public, always stay inside on the treadmill, so this was a big step for me). So we were jogging back and we live on a fairly busy street, there's this guy with two girls walking in front of us, as we pass them by we hear the guy sarcastically say, "well THAT'S very attractive."
    Totally just pissed me off, I mean how rude do you have to be? I legit wanted to go back and punch his face.

    What a rude idiot. You don't even need to punch his face - he's ugly enough.

    Well first, he was walking with two women, and quite possibly you just heard a snippet of a conversation that had nothing to do with you.

    Second, even IF it was directed at you, you know you are doing what you need to be doing to get where you want to be. Nobody else matters!

    My husband is handicapped and we ride recumbent trikes. A couple of bikers went past us one day and said "How lazy can you get?" My husband, who used to be a runner and a mountain biker was really hurt. He was like, Hey, I'm out here pedalling my *kitten* just like you." Some people are too rude to be allowed. :grumble: :noway:

    I'm a bit confused. You're quite attractive. Your body looks good, too, if that's really you in your photos. This doesn't make much sense. Do you have really obnoxious running shoes (bright orange, maybe)?

    Yeah, maybe he wasn't being sarcastic? You seem attractive to me. Maybe he said it loud enough so that you would notice, and it was his weird way of hitting on you?

    Agreed... maybe he thought you're attractive genuinely.

    Almost all these rude comments are made by inconsiderate, ignorant men. Sometimes I am ashamed to be a man. :-(

    When accused of being drunk once, Winston Churchill replied something along the lines of "I am drunk, but in morning I will be sober, you will still be ugly".

    I've adapted that on more than one occasion although admittedly, not when it's likely I will have the s**t kicked out of me.

    maybe one of the girls farted or picked their nose and he was talking to HER, not you.
    how do you know he was talking about you?


    because both girls started laughing like idiots right after he said it, and it was pretty obvious, even my friend caught it.

    If that's the case, then the whole bunch of them were idiots. Why care what idiots think of you?

    I get "Run, Forrest!" alllll the time.

    These are the things that keep me motivated. He's still gunna be around when you're at goal weight and looking even more like a bombshell and then when you see that jerk or any other jerk you can just say Oh THATS real attractive ;)

    Attractiveness and beauty are qualities that serve humankind better when displayed on the inside, not the outside. He sounds like a very ugly person inside, filled with hate and intolerance and probably a whole lot of other negative and unhealthy feelings. It's up to you to show him that, while your weight loss is fractionally aimed at making yourself appear more physically attractive, your goal is to make your entire self a healthy and attractive person, both inside and out. If your heart is made of gold, nothing he could say to you could change that.

    Take it from where it comes from. He is ignorant and must have low self esteem so he has to put someone down in order to make himself feel better. Don't lower yourself to his level by even letting him know it bothered you. You are doing something good for yourself. Never feel bad about that. :wink:

    How do you even know he was talking about you? If he was walking with 2 other people you could have just heard a snippet of whatever conversation he was having.And just because they laughed does not make it about you...

    Made me lol while drinking my coffe! Ha ha ha, I'm still laughing every time I get that picture in my head.
    You should have said " I know RIGHT!" Smacked your *kitten* and kept on running... idiots...

    Thought this was funny and kind of relates. Sometimes when I'm doing my dvd workouts my family laughs and this is what I have to say to them...

    I know he wasn't on the couch, but you did pass him up. :wink: I'm proud of ANYONE I see walking/jogging. Most of us probably do not look glamorous but that's okay, at least we're out there doing it. Hold your head high, keep going, and ignore the stupid idiot's of our world!

    A few punk kids once threw french fries at me one time out walking. Totally crushed my spirit.

    Are you sure he was talking about you? Sometimes our own insecurities make us think that everything people say or do is about us... He could have been in the middle of a conversation and it just happened that he said something that cuold have been misunderstood as rude towards you....

    On that note, if he DID say it to you then he is just a D-Bag...don't let him or his stupidity keep you from getting fit! From your picture you are a beautiful girl...don't let him get to you...and no matter what you look like anyways - you are working out!

    This is why I love this picture.

    Should have just said "Thanks... you too" and kept on going. ... or gone back and punched him in the face. Either would have been OK in my opinion. :)

    Love this too! Just keep doing what you are doing! I've been running pretty hard since Dec and I feel like a clumsy idiot every time I go out. One time I had a group of teenagers start laughing obnoxiously and one of the boys started running beside me with really exaggerated movements. I just said "awesome, I needed a running partner--I've got 4 more miles to go, come on" and he slowed down real fast. *kitten*!

    Yeah, that would have warranted a big FU

    maybe he meant it. You are a lovely girl and if he didn't, who cares. You are getting stronger and better and you are not doing it to impress stupid jerks who are walking while you, strong one, are running. Guess the joke's on him.

    I was jogging on the treadmill one day at the fitness club. I saw a dude staring at me. I have to hold "the girls" 'cause they're so big. I thought he was staring at that. Then I realized my backside was feeling cool. I reached around. My drawstring pants had fallen down below my cheeks, but because I was wearing beige spandex tummy control to hold in my floppy belly (2 abdominal surgeries for tumor & hernia, I HAVE to wear this) I didn't feel the breeze right away. SO here I am, 30lbs overweight, holding my boobs, pants below my butt cheeks showing my tan spanx & I don't even know it.

    THAT was attractive <giggle>

    Hope I made you laugh. I had to stop my workout I was laughing so hard after that happened.

    I just spat my coffee over my keyboard - ROFL :laugh:

    Yep...a punch in the face with your foot would have gone over great in this situation. Eff him and don't let him ruin any part of your day. Christina Agueilera was right when she sang YOU are beautiful, no matter what 'they' say. Keep rocking it!!!

    I've had a few rude comments like that, and you know what? Screw them. Pretend they're talking about somebody else.
