How to react to "fat" comments
Is it just me, or do "fatty" etc comments effect you more as a post-op?? When I was almost 300 lbs, someone calling me "fat" hurt, but it didn't really effect me like it does now. Duh I'm fat, I'm almost 300 lbs, can't you come up with something better? Is that all ya got?
In the last week I've been told I was fat by two different ******** The first one was drunk and mad that I didn't want to date him. The second asshole went off on me for no reason--telling me I looked like "mayonnaise" (LMAO), "cottage cheese" etc. Both of these ******** have never seen the "pre-op" me.
So, how do I take these comments? Do skinny people regularly get called fat by losers like this? Are they just hitting on an insecurity that they somehow know I have?
I usually don't have problems with these comments because I know that these peoples' opinions don't really matter in the grand sheme of things. I like me. My friends like me. My family likes me. But it has happened twice in the last week and for some reason really has me heated and extremely insecure.

I know its really hard not to feel insecure and not take offense but its usually 99% of the time because of their insecurities. When I was with my ex I was 100 lbs. thinner and not overweight at all and he used to call me fat all the time which is why he is my ex. If he could only see me now lol! Your doing a great job don't let it get you down. There will always be some ******* that will call you something that will hurt your feelings so try not to let it bother you!
First, I'm wondering if you need to change the places you are hanging out. The new you might want to raise the quality of places you choose to go. I say this in general because I have no idea where you were and ******** are like oxygen - they're everywhere.
My auto response to being called a name is to smile and say "I may be (fat/a *****instert word) but at least I can change. You'll always be an asshole."
I told a rude lady at the grocery store that she thought the world revolved around her and her **** didn't stink. Long story as to why this occurred.
IMO, saying nothing and getting a thick skin is always the best and safest response.

Honestly, you already know that they are jerks and are just saying that. When i was thin, I was still called fat sometimes. It used to bug the hell out of me and make me feel less than good enough. Over the years I gained a lot of weight. Now that I'm just sort of in the beginning stages in my journey (4 months post op) I have prepared myself for the fact that some people are still going to think I'm not thin enough when I'm done and at goal, even if my BMI is perfectly normal. Just have to learn how to deflect these comments and remember they are ignorant and just reflexively using the one comment that they know girls (and guys) hate.
Both were over text/voice mail. Of course technology allows you to say stuff you'd never say to somebody's face! I wish I had a thick skin but I'm just really sensitive! I was the kid who would almost cry when the teacher had to tell me to be quiet in kindergarten! Lol.
Here's th best advice I've gotten so far: "You are Gods beautiful creation. God doesn't make mistakes. You are perfect in every way."
Then from my best friend: "c*nt-punch that ugly ass alien looking awkwardly skinny hater. Eat a cheeseburger. Something"
