    Well to be honest...even though what they said was mean and totally uncalled for, i decided to take something positive from it and I decided that I couldn't deny just how big I was after getting and decided it was time to change. I was just the kick in the butt I needed to finally be honest with myself!
    That is a great atitude, turn a negative into a positive. You will be very glad you did.

    To put it bluntly, people suck. I stopped with my 10 year olds baseball team to get ice cream after a game the other day and some kids that drove by actually yelled out "mooo" out their window. My son asked me what they said and I said I didn't know. He figured it out eventually but I still felt like crap. OK kids that yelled that, do you realize that I've been busting my butt and have lost almost 25 lbs in 2 months??? I earned that kiddie ice cream cone! It would be interesting to see those same kids in 20 years and see how they look, don't you think? I'm at the same weight as you now and feel so much better already. Congratulations on your determination to get healthy. We're right there with you!

    People can be so cruel. Take it and pull it out for motivation. Good luck in your journey.

    Most teenagers are cruel, thoughtless and think they are invincible. I'm sorry you were treated this way and kudos to the drive-thru attendant for saying something to them.

    Good luck momma! You can do this! :)

    It inspired me, and I wish you the best in your journey!!
