What's the opposite of a "Wow Moment?"
My friends and I went out to a bar last night and were having a great time. These two guys bought us drinks so we went over to introduce ourselves. After we said our hellos, we were standing there talking amongst ourselves. I hear one of the guys say to the other "What's the fat girl's name?" God...I get so pissed. Yeah, I'm still fat, but COME ON! It just made me feel so crappy. My two friends are like size 4 and 6, so I guess compared to them I AM the fat girl. I guess I was just upset because I feel like I've come so far from where I was and I just don't feel like the fat girl anymore. And in two seconds that guy put me right back where I was 4 months ago!
I just feel like no matter how much weight I end up losing, I'll always be the fat girl and it sucks.
Needless to say, when my friends heard that, we stopped talking to them...yeah, he said it loud enough that WE all could hear. What an asshole.
PS Thanks to everyone who offered advice when I was going through my stall. I upped my protein and water...it was like magic! Seven pounds just dissapeared! Hugs!
What a jerk, men just don't get it sometimes. Try to remember when stuff like that does happen that you have come a long way. I know the roomie that I had in Richmond is beautiful, outgoing, full of life and a blast to be around. Glad to hear that you are out of your stall.

LB,
Ouch!!
His comment reveals everything about him and reflects nothing on you. You are beautiful and poised and smart and fun. Remember it. Live it. He is ugly all the way though and he can't hide it or change it.
I am glad you were among friends....I guess the bar was noisy and that is why you didn't answer my call?

Hey L B
I can surely relate. Sometimes words are more hurtful than anything, and really get us down. Just yesterday, I was purchasing a shirt at a thrift store, and the cashier asked me if I was over 55... I about lost my knees and fell to the floor... bit my tongue, said Not yet, and left...
Ignore the ignorant comments.. thats what we should do, but its not always so easy, is it?

Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, it's hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today
To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The pieces gone, left the puzzle undone
Is that the way it is?
You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down
So don't you bring me down today...
No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what we say
(no matter what we say)
We're the song inside the tune
Full of beautiful mistakes
And everywhere we go
(and everywhere we go)
The sun will always shine
(sun will always shine)
But tomorrow we might awake
On the other side
'Cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down
So, don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today
