Why can't people keep their mouths shut

 i walked into walmart the other day first thing i heard was two chicks giggling. looked to be in there early 20's very beautiful and SKINNY like TWIG skinny.  my self conscious mind Went to ...omg there laughing at me...so i told my husband i felt uncomfortable and wanted to leave (sad right) well he insisted they wern't laughing at me so we should stay well sure enough we walked past them and i hear one chick call me a nasty pig and oink at me. i walked away fast to keep my self from turning around and FLIPPING out on these two girls, hearing there laughter get louder, i ran to the bath room and cried SO hard.  People are mean. what hurt most is iv lost 76 lbs.  WELL i finally calmed my self down my makeup ALL over my face...... :( i walked out of the bathroom and told my husband we were leaving now.........as i was walking guess who we passed? yep you got it that same set of girls. And once again They made a comment this time it was "look look there IT is again" i just wanted to die! My husband turn around and  told them to get a life and act there age. then we left.  It made me feel like ALL of the hard work i have done to lose weight means nothing. these girls were 110-120 lbs MAYBE it just made me think no matter what  size i get to ill never be good enough.  People Suck 

Your hard work does not mean nothing.  However, your hard work cannot teach manners to other people.  Your hard work cannot fix their ignorance or rudeness.  It's not that you'll never be good enough, no matter how much you lose.  But no matter how much you lose, those girls will still be rude and insensitive.  It's their problem and you can't fix it.  But I think it's really important to remember that it is their problem.  There's nothing wrong with you, there is something wrong with them.

 thank you kelly. i just wish people could get a glimps of your life before they make judgments some times. 

Well, in my opinion, that's why we shouldn't be quick to judge people, because we can't really get a good look at their lives, at least not most of the time.

 I know how that feels. I have had that happen as well. People are so childiest* that it makes me sick. I don't make fun of people who are bigger then me or have a speck problem...I'm sorry that happened to you hun...You have done a lot of hard work. They are just being @$$es.

I had a "friend" at work talk about fat people and how they smell. Then turned to me and was like well you are fat and you dont smell. Gee Thanks for noticing.

 iv heard that one too ._. 

I am not passive...lol...to say the least...once in the grocery store some young early 20's guys walked by and one said oink, oink....I said hee haw, hee haw....He the said I know you are not talking to me...I said Yes, Yes I am and I am sure your mother is proud of you this moment...he turned and left....

I am self confident, feel pretty, and never let others make me feel bad...I know this is from my dad...he whistled at me every single morning when I left for school and told me how pretty I was. 
I married a man 25 years ago that still loves me...I have kids and grandkids that love me....

Don't let people make you a victim....stand up.....

Yes, I am from Texas...we are a little more assertive here...lol

I notice when we dine out that the majority of the diners are overweight so it is odd that people act the way they do towards heavier people since being overweight may be the majority.  And,  I imagine everyone has overweight loved ones that they wouldn't want mistreated.  I was so thin in high school that I was asked by teachers if I was anorexic or wanted to talk about anything (thinking I had an eating disorder for some reason).  The school counselor called me in her office and asked if I threw up after I ate.  At that time, I'd never heard of such a thing so was shocked to be asked such a question.  I just had a really great metabolism because I did eat and also enjoyed ice cream and/or cookies almost daily.  My brother drove a dairy truck so kept me stocked up on ice cream.   Mom kept a jar full of homemade cookies for after school.   The lactose intolerance came later in life.  My mother,  favorite grandmother and grandfather, favorite uncle and brother  were heavy so I never thought about weight as a negative.  One of the boys I liked in grade school was more than chubby and I never thought about it until he said something years later about it.  I actually felt ugly being a skinny kid and teenager.  I have never judged anyone by weight.  I've always chosen my friends by their character and personality.   My choosing to do something about my own weight comes from a desire to be healthier.   When I look around my church, organizations, and community it seems almost everyone is struggling with their weight.  So reading about such mean spirited people is baffling when one considers that we are an overweight nation.  In every profession and walk of life there is obesity.  I never thought about it until I started having health issues.

Thi****s home for me. I do not have a hard time standing up for myself to strangers at all. But to family or friends or friends of the family, I just cannot do it. This last weekend I was at a family function and my boyfriend's mom was telling her distant cousin about who the people were that were there. One of the other people asked about me and how my surgery is going. The distant cousin says (loud enough for me to hear 20+ feet away), "Well if I were her I would be asking my doctor when I would no longer look like that!" She sat there looking right at me and because I over heard this I just smiled at her to show her that I heard what she said. People can be so heartless.

When I was about a month pre-op a childhood friend actually said some terrible things to me too. Talking about how this surgery is the "easy way out". I made a post about it then sort of ranting. I later let her know that this surgery is not "easy" by any means. I let her know I already changed my life and was working out and eating healthy and if I could just loose the weight that way, THAT would be the easy way and I would not need surgery. She did not know what to say. I then reminded her that her chosen "career" was the easy way out of financial problems as she is a stripper and brags about how much money it makes her and how it saved her and her kids from starvation.
