Hurtful Comment

So, not only were you giving this asshole food and money, but he weighs 500 pounds and he's telling YOU that you need to lose weight?!

He's a jealous POS, and he was purposely trying to hurt you with that comment.

I give few people the privelege of being able to affect my self image ..... my dad is one, my hubby is another, and if she lived close enough, my sis would probably be the third person. overall, I don't allow the opinions of those who do not matter, TO matter.

I remember once I went (sort of) on a blind date. This guy (a real porker, I might add) took one look at me and said "sorry, I didn't realize you were fat, I won't go out with fat chicks" and that was the end of that. I thought I might be hurt, but I couldn't get over his own piggish body style.... and thought ..... comfing from a porker, it just doesn't hurt! (huge epiphany in my life right there)

He can't make YOU feel any particular way, it's all in how you interpret what he says. You probably already knew he was a jerk and now have yet another example to add to what I am sure is a VERY long list.
Your pride and your happiness with what you have accomplished comes from within. Yea, nice comments will put a sparkle in your eyes and nasty comments may put a tear or two in them. True contentment and happiness will come when YOU see yourself as the strong, beautiful woman you are. Once that switch is flipped, nothing can stop you. You will never have a problem with buttheads like him again because their words won't mean a thing to you. You will recognize them for what they are, a waste of your attention.
If Rob is still alive and not in need of traction, you a better woman than I!
 

You weight 134 and he thinks you should drop another 20?  He's nuts.  He's jealous.  He took the easy way out - doing nothing.  And obviously it is not working well for him.

We started about the same weight...had surgery about the same time...i am still hovering in the 200 range and do "everything right" :( Congratulations on your success and don't let anyone get you down, you have done AMAZING!!!!
