NSV - Internet Bullying

So, this is my FIRST NSV, and it's a big one!

I was commenting on a friend's FB page and someone disagreed with my opinion and called me an overweight, middle-aged loser. The poster was a 23 year old college kid, and he followed that up with 'Enjoy your dinner, Dana".

Now first of all, I'm 32. Middle-aged?? sheesh! lol

But the really big deal is I didn't get upset and freak out being called fat. I just thought to myself, well that kiddo needs to grow up, Im so proud of everything I am doing to get my weight under control. Normally a comment like that would have ripped me apart inside, but not this time. I didn't even comment back, I just let it be. I never thought being internet bullied and rising above would be my first NSV, but man o man does it ever feel sweet!

I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful Friday!

having a mutual friend/relative is not enough to irk a little bit of respect out of a 23-year-old ?  I cant get over the outright audacity.   surely the mutual friend, at the very least, deleted the comment.

As others have said, you are definitely not middle aged yet!   

I loathe internet flaming and bullying.   Some folks on here do it and that makes me sad as this is supposed to be a support forum.

You are doing great!

Only an ignorant 20-something would say you're middle aged, jeesh! Way to take the high road

the comment about her being middle aged was nothing compared to the fat insults he slung at her.  Did you skim by any chance?  LOL

Thanks guys! And actually no, the mutual friend didn't say a word... more of an acquaintance actually... but I suppose maybe not even that now. Oh well. For every person I lose in this journey, I find another supportive friend on this forum :)

Good for you! I like your attitude.

That ****** me off on your behalf though. The nerve of some people. What will they call us when we lose the weight, I wonder.
