Sorry for that bad experience.

That one litte word..3 letters..FAT..ugh its like hitting someone with a cattle prod. bzzzzzz!

It always hurts. No matter what. And what Krazydoglady said is so true, men know its the most hurtful thing. Women know it too. Call a girl fat and turn her into mush immediately.

you can try and fake it til you make it, fake like it doesnt bother you until the day it really doesnt.

On top of it, your insecurity might be something they are picking up on. Regardless, as hard as it is, sometimes we have to drown others out because they will ALWAYS have something negative to say.

I just got to vet school and have been training really hard at the gym and building muscle, my shape is really improving and im starting to see abs...and the other day this girl (not remotely in shape, mind you) looked me up and down and started talking ****i know inside myself its cause she is jealous..but people love to pick others apart for anything. and it never ceases. even in adulthood. even at a school where people are trying to become doctors. ******** always exsist.

One interesting thing that will happen also is others around you, not knowing you were ever obese, talking crap about overweight people. i hate it. i always feel awkward and then more awkward when im like "hey guys, i used to be 120 pound heavier can you shut up?"

oh lordy, the dynamics of weight loss!!!

Well if that profile picture is your picture, honey you have NOTHING to worry about!!
 
If I could only be 1/2 as pretty as you are girl!!! You are soooo pretty!

Don't let some hair brain, low life lower your self image. You are so much more than a body and a body changes all the time. Don't see yourself as set. You are as you are today, not forever. Trust me. I look in the mirror every day now and wonder who in the ______ that girl is. He He. She's wearing tiny shorts and looks amazing in them! He He In my mind I am way too fat to be her. He He.
 
I have been fat.  I have been thin twice now. He He. It's fluid.

I can tell you, you look fantastic in your profile picture. I am 43 now, trust me, some day you will look back and wish you could look like you did when you were younger. No matter what, I will never be in my 20's or even 30's again, so enjoy your youth. You are beautiful and people have to be blind not to see that. Who cares what some bottom feeder says anyway. They just wish they could have a girl as pretty as you!
On my way!!!!!!

I was at the dog park yesterday and this man said to the girl next to me "you'd be beautiful if you lost 30 lbs". I could not help myself. I turned to him and said," She's about to lose 200 lbs. GET LOST!"

******** come in all shapes and sizes.

Just ask him if that is how is Momma raised him.  Of course if he's saying things like that he probably doesn't think too much of women anyways, so that might not get to him.

A man with have an ounce of decency, respect...and maturity, would never say that to a woman.

 Try picking up men in a library instead of a bar.  At least the vocabulary choice should be more intellectual.

Awwww Well It must Suck to be them!!! lol! Putting people down to make yourself feel better is a simple disguise of thier own insecurities.... YOUR BEAUTIFUL... and you were beautiful before your Surgury!!!  I was once told by my NOW EX that I was just a bunch of Saggy Skin and no one would ever want me....... I'd be lying if I said it hasn't effected me alot...... Since then I got a Tummy Tuck.... but his words echo through my mind often...... I have to take a step back sometimes and remember WHY I had the surgury to begin with...... To better myself..... and I try to quit expecting perfection..... Every time I'm feeling down about things... I come here to this page and I get the comfort I Need ... because ALL of you guys are just like me.... we've gone through the same rough ride to setting goals and achieving them..... and knowing the feeling of being the dreadful OBESE..... :/ All I can say is FORGET THOSE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BRING YOU DOWN..... "If they could see you now!!!" and youR Simply Gorgeous!!!! :)))) I wish I could say.... just ignore it!!! because I know we have feelings and it HURTS... when people call us names.... but look past it all.... recognize your Accomplishments!!! and let those words go to the trash right where they belong!!!! :((
I haven't been called fat lately... but I know at times.... I'm the girl that GOT THE GASTRIC TO LOSE ALL HER FAT!!!!!

Great story about Winston Churchill at a dinner party.  Some boorish, pretentious, upper class woman said to him in utter shock, "Sir, you are drunk!"  and he said "That I am, Madame.  And you are ugly.  And in the morning, I shall be sober." 

Granted, not very nice to call a woman ugly.  But you get the idea.  Some asshat calls you fat via text, you can always text back, "And you will ALWAYS be an obnoxious jerk, please don't inflict your poisonous personality on me ever again."
