I told him to F**K OFF!

You go girl! And you deserved that meal for free. If he was drunk, they were sereving him way to much booze. If he was a healthcare provider, he should know drinking is just as dangerous for your body as being overweight. Keep up the great work. Phyliss

im so sorry this happend... BUT YOU GO GIRL!!!!!

Sarah, I read the Florida boards all the time and I know how far you have come girlie!!!! You hang in there!!! You are beautiful and don't let jerks like this guy rain on your parade!!! Have a wonderful day! Lois

I'm sorry Sarah for that rude man! I know it hurt both of you inside, it always does when people are so careless, its like a kick in the gut. hugs. I'm glad you said something back though, but it probably won't matter to him, jerks are jerks and they don't care who they hurt in the process. You are marvelous, and have lost so much weight, I applaude you! Blessings, Tami

You tell him!! Way to go!!! Some folks will always be insensitive jerks - drunk or not - but I'm soooo proud of you for standing up for yourself and your friend!! It is so liberating to be able to say "I've lost .... lbs" but even if you weighed double your starting weight he is still an a$$ and always will be! Vickie J.

I am so glad you stood up for yourself. I cannot believe people can be so rude. I could never go up to anyone and make any comment about them. Just not my nature. You have come along way. And we are all inspired by you.

Sarah! That is unreal! I'm so sorry you had to go thru that!!!! Glad you stood up for yourself but its a pity someone as WONDERFUL as you would have to go thru something like that in the first place.....

If he had on a hospital shirt, he was representing the hospital. I would get his name and write a letter to the hospital, explaining what happened and that he was drunk and loud and using the fact that he worked in the health care field to be abusive to you in a public place that is not affiliated with the hospital. At the very least, they will talk to him about it, and he might think twice before he does that again. The only way we are going to get people to treat us with dignity is if we call them on it. We need to educate THAT particular...ummmm....individual (couldn't think of a noun for him that the moderators wouldn't pull) and the hospital needs to know that he is using his job to bully others. They aren't going to like the fact that he was being drunk and disorderly while he was wearing their uniform and representing their hospital. Especially when many people witnessed it. He had no right to do that. And they were right. If you had been men, he wouldn't have done it. But please, do write that letter to the hospital. They need to know. He needs to be punished and set straight. And a well-written, professionally sounding letter will go a long way in educating people when you send it to the hospital. Good for you in standing up for yourself. We need to do that. I have spent so much of my life being submissive when people insulted me. No longer. NO ONE has a right to say crap like that to me and I am doing whatever I can to educate people about this disease. Hugs, Joni
