OT: A lady called me fat today

1. You are a WONDERFUL person and friend and you are BEAUTIFUL!!
2. I am actually still fat (work in progress), but I can't think of the last time someone said so. What that says to me is that the woman you are talking about - it says WAY more about her to say someone is fat than it does about you. Clearly she is in a bad place personally and needs to find ways to elevate her own self esteem at the expense of someone else. No excuses, but that's what could be going on.
3. Despite what's going on with her, I hope you find a way to make peace with the voice inside you that is trying to tell you nonsense like "she's right". She is NOT right - she is delusional, sad, and feeling crappy about herself.
4. I hope you have a heart-to-heart with the bf. You need that "soft place to fall" when you're feeling ****ty, and you need his support.
5. I am so grateful and happy you are in my life.

Thank you ALL for your kind comments and words of wisdom.  Feeling much more like myself this morning.  And Joe and I had a good talk last night. Finally after over 2 years, I have admitted to him that I had WLS.  Went over very well, shouldn't have been so scrared/stressed about that in the frst place. Now to share the dreaded "before pics" LOL

 BEFORE 290 pounds


AFTER: 128 pounds

So.  Life is good. :)

Glad that life is back to good and that Joe understood - taking the relationship a step deeper and you'll never have to wonder about how people here feel about you! Your Thursday dinner could have resulted in mass arrests - lol.

So glad your feeling better!     I love those pics!!!!!

sorry if this is blunt, but the *itch is just jealous! You are truly beautiful. Keep smiling sweetie! xo

Karen, I hardly know you but I'm sending you HUGE bear hugs right now.

People who belittle others are just covering for their own insecurites. Don't feel angry. Feel SORRY for her.

I'm so happy I found this forum. Isn't it great to come here whenever you feel down? We are blessed :) and YOU are beautiful :)

Lotsa love,
Lina

Wow, someone is sure loved by all.

And for that, I feel very blessed, James.

Words to live by.  Lovely quote, thank you.
