A bad way to start the day. People are just cruel
Was I the ONLY one that had violent thoughts towards that asshole? LOL Like the others have said screw them, do not let them get the best of you. Truth is you are better than them, period! I had something like this happen with my brother at a family reunion. A BUNCH of ppl were eating and he was being a ***** to his son, and I had told my nephew in a nice more polite way of what he should do. My brother snapped, calling me all these fat names and blah blah. I had told him them, you're right I am fat, but I can do something to change that. But you, you're a raging asshole and no matter what you do you will always be a raging asshole. LOL I have never been one to shut my mouth, skinny OR fat. God help me I would have definitely been arrested because I would have had a smart come back and I am so sure this teen would have had to save face and say something back. It would have been WWE up on that TRAIN! I hope I at least made you laugh. Seriously work on you...and dont let them break you. You are beautiful inside and out...
Angel, I am so sorry your day started out like that. When people are rude and mean please don't let them control the rest of your day. Easier said then done with comments like that, but you are the better person for not engaging with those girls. Shame on them, what goes around, comes around....life has a way of taking care of that.
Keep your head high and don't think on it anymore, put that spring back into your step.

I am so sorry this happened to you. I am sure it really upset you. Now, with a little time and perspective, you have a wonderful opportunity here. You can choose to continue to feel sad and defeated by this little idiot, or you can take her meanness and turn it into your fuel. You can choose to remember her words not with sadness, but with anger. Let that anger turn to resolve, the resolve to get these pounds off of you and live a healthier life. On those occasions when you feel weak, remember her words and think, "no you don't you little.... I will be beautiful, healthy and happy, and you will still be, well, YOU". As you start to loose the weight, think to yourself, "everyday I am getting closer and closer to my goal, and no one can stop me. I am making my dream come true". Take the hurt, turn that into anger, then use the anger to get your power back. The two most powerful emotions are love and anger, use what you can, disregard the rest.
As I was going thrugh the process for approval something simular happened to me:
I was with my two kids (3yo & 8yo) in the parking lot at Home Depot and we were getting out of the car, there was an empty parking space next to us and a man was waiting to pull in. I guess he decided that he had waited long enough and without warning pulled in the spot almost hitting my daughter the 8yo. As you can immagine I was upset so I said something to him about almost running over my child and that he needed to be alittle more patent. Well his come back was that I should be a better example and told me that I was teaching her how to be "Fat and lazy" mind you this exchange took place infront of my children.
Some people are nasty and mean- there is no way around it. But take comfort in the fact that karma is a ***** and they are way more miserable then you will ever be- Have you ever known anyone that miserable or nasty to be happy in their own life-no.
Then I waited until he went in the store and I may or may not have allowed my 3yo to ram the shopping buggy into his car... a couple of times... possably:)

First off -- YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL... I just went and looked @ your pics on your profile.
2nd off -- Remember the saying... "what comes around goes around"... Well those 2 teens just cursed themselves.
3rd... I am sure you do NOT smell like FF. I am right where u are w/ amt to lose. And I am on Atkins pre-diet. So I probably do smell like Fried Food.... teehee. BUT we are both making life style changes and decisions for our health.
Hang in there / PUT A SMILE back on that pretty face and show the world and those teens whose BOSS!

Ouch! I'm sure that would destroy just about anyone's morning. I'm sorry that someone was that incredibly rude to you.
Something I've learned along the way... People lash out and treat each other that way for a few reasons. #1. She's just hateful. #2. She's scared she's not good enough.
I'd like to elaborate on #2 for just a moment. She is scared that she's not adequate in some way (physically, mentally, etc.) because somewhere along the way some made her feel like she wasn't good enough. As we all know, that hurts. And she chose to lash out that hurt and anger in your direction. I pity people that let things like that make them a less than stellar human to be around.
All that being said, stand up for yourself. The only reason she did it was because she felt like she could. Take back that power and remind her (people) that you're strong.
Have a better day! And remember, you're beautiful and full of possibilities. Don't let this side track keep you down.

I'm sorry this happened to you. That girl will have ample opportunity to smell fries as she makes a career out of the food-service industry, have no fear. Statistically, she's likely to be obese, as well, so just keep in mind that karma is an unforgiving ***** I have very little tolerance for ill-mannered people, in general, and even less for teenagers. It's probably a good thing I don't have any of my own. I would likely be sitting on Florida's death row.
Having said that, it's almost paralyzing when someone says or does something that's so far outside the bounds of common decency. I tend to get mad rather than hurt, and even madder at myself for not having a snappy comeback on the tip of my tongue.

That just makes me sick. I want to slap those girls! I pray my boys NEVER become so heartless. I have many talks with them about how words hurt and all that. I would be crushed to know my child was out saying such horrible things to people.
Hugs to you. Keep your head up. Teenagers can be cruel in packs. And who knows. Maybe someday SHE is going to be the one on the bus scrunching up trying not to invade someone's space and she will think back to what she said to you. I hope she is and she does.
Keep thinking about what you have accomplished. Chant it over and over in your head if you need to. You won't forget what she did, but maybe you can reinforce yourself with the posives you have going for you right now. Soon you WILL be one of the thin ones. Then when you see her again you can get up and mention all teenagers smell of pizza and have pizza complexions. LOL. No..jk of course. YOU aren't a cruel person. Which gives you a whole hell of a lot more to work with than that little girl.
