Default Food for thought!! Upset and Embarassed...

Ok so just needed somewere to vent and have a rant and share something that taught me a wee lesson...

Four things have happened to me this week 3 negative and 1 positive but all have pushed me foward in my weight loss "Journey"

Firstly there I was walking along the street minding my own business going to work and was approaching a group of teenage boys for some reason this made me nervous and I felt something was coming as I passed them one of them kindly decided to inform me "wow your a beast, you really should be hitting the gym or something" (little did the little s**t no i'd busted my *** for 3 hours at the gym that day!) it was sooo hurtful I couldnt even reply i just carried on walking shame burning tears stinging all that Jazz! played on my mind all night!

My second humiliating experience came just 2 days later walking along the same street I turned the corner and heard a man (yeah a man not a boy) bellowing HAWl CHUBBY, naturally i turned around just cause id heard someone shouting and he looks directly at me and goes "YEAH YOU" to which him and his friend fall into fits of giggles, again the humilation stung, but more worryingly I actually felt some relief that all he said was CHUBBY it seemed much more complimentry than "BEAST" (how pathetic eh? grading your insults and being HAPPY that this one was less insulting)

lastly, just a few days later i was out with my boyfriend and he pulled me onto his knee, to which some passing charmer decided to comment "WOW MATE YOU ALRIGHT UNDER THERE" by this stage id literally had enough and promptly got up went to the toilet and sobbed.

By this point i was starting to feel sorry for myself thinking whats even the point im trying my hardest hear and everyone seems to want to come down on me why me blah blah...THEN the positive went to my class yesterday feeling positivly down and i'd lost 2 1/2 lbs (even after a crazy eating binge to try and make me feel better) It made me think, BUGGER THEM ALL im trying im doing this for me!! and im going to do it!! So world throw everything you want at me NOTHING is going to stop me!

For anyone who is reading this stay positive and dont let anyone get you down! we're all beautiful in our own ways! and anyone who wants to bring you down is only trying to make themselve feel better and really their more to be pitied than cursed!

I'm very sorry you had to go through that

Just remember that you're a better person and those people cast a LOT of insults at everyone for many different reasons all because they themselves are leading very miserable lives.

Wow there must be a collection of a-holes where you live. I don't think I'd have been able to handle those comments any where near as well as you did, probably would have turned into a binge week.

Ironic thing is these jerks don't even know that you are a courageous enough person to take their venom and turn it into motivation for yourself! I can't imagine what's going on in their life to make them treats others like that, but they obviously aren't strong enough to figure out a way to better themselves. Too bad for them.

People really need to mind their own effing business! We don't go around shouting rude things at them because of their appearance or anything else about them. They sound like slack jawed yokels to me and should probably just crawl back into the hole they climbed out of... aka their estate. (too harsh?)

You are amazing and very strong for not saying anything back to those awful people. You are doing so well! Don't get discouraged by them.

Gosh that is awful! At least you ended the week on a positive note with a loss, so that is brilliant and a motivator to keep you going. Don't allow what those people said to get you down. You are beautiful inside and out! Best of luck on your journey.

Some people really need a good slap! I think that lot would have got to the strongest person - unbelievable behaviour!

You hang on in there and remember that you are fabulous and they'll always be ignorant saddos

Oh my, what horrible people. You must have a lot of morons living in your area. To encounter 3 in a week, that is quite something!

Just hold your head up high and be happy that you aren't a horribly insulting person like they are.

Congrats on the 2.5lb loss, keep up the good work and don't let the *******s bring you down!

You truly are an inspiration! You are very positive after what happened. I am going to look up to you next time I hear a nasty comment about me. You're a beautiful person, and they won't be making those comments for long!
