To be irritated with these parents.

[xstitch]

Through my marriage and subsequent divorce I developed a very bad habit of comfort eating and ended up morbidly obese (yes I know this was self inflicted). I have been to weightwatchers and have been working very hard at retraining my eating habits. I have also bee working out 3/4 days out of every 7. Finally last week I fitted comfortably into size 14 clothes. I was really starting to get my confidence back now that I am seeing results. I have no intention of stopping there as I want to reach my target weight and stay there. So I do recognise that I am still fat b**ch.

Today I teenage boy was dancing about behind me singing 'I'm a big fat bloater', puffing out his cheeks and making a ball shape with his arms. His parents were with him and laughing saying 'oh isn't he funny' I was so irritated by their reaction, I always try and teach my dd that it is rude to highlight the flaws of others. If she had done this to someone she would be getting told off.

Awwww xstitch, that is awful, I am a bigger girl and I also had an experience from a pissed up knob with all his mates, he thought he was clever and was verbally abusing me calling me a fat twat etc.

I replied in a calm voice that on the night he was concieved, his mother should have done the whole world a favour and kept her legs closed and swallowed instead.

He didn't know what to say so he stormed off, but his mates had a good laugh about it

There are some total cunts out there.

xstitch - that is really really awful behaviour.

but you sound like a really determined person, and I think you will rise above people like that and carry on :)

Well done for getting into size 14s - that's fantastic - and you've worked really, really hard to get there!

Some people are just rude. I get it all the time, due to being very short.
I was in Boots in front of two grown women who loudly discussed me as i stood there.
I turned to them and said 'I am short, but I am not deaf'.

Well done on the weight loss, you will be thin, and they will be ignorant sods forever!

xs please don't take any notice of the little bugger. As a sec teacher of 20 years' experience, I've noticed that the 'fxx' word is usually thrown around by those brats who are themselves genuinely fat, or are embarassed about having one or more fat parents or siblings, or are junk-food stuffers who are always being lectured about fatness. Thus they are the worst fattists. At 5'9" and size 12 on a bloated day, I was once called it by a morbidly obese 12-year old who sobbed her apologies, saying it was the first insult that came to mind when I annoyed her by asking her for her homework ... it is a very overused word, very much like 'gay' which we all know is now nothing to do with homosexuality, but a general-purpose insult (not that you deserved to be insulted anyway of course :(

Congratulations on losing the weight and doing so well.You should be proud of yourself.

Unfortunately there will always be mean and nasty people who try to make themselves feel better by putting other people down.
