Being called a fatty

So just out for a run (well a jog plod) .. trying to shift the baby weight ( still after 15 months) and a group of lads in a car put the window down and shout fatty at me .. then proceed to laugh and other cars around with windows down could hear and i literally died on embarrassment and had to hold back tears! So decided not to let some little bunch of idiots ruin my run I carried on but why had it bothered me so much! Im so down about it it really hit a nerve - yes it's probably true in 5ft10 and weigh 13.7 stone so carrying so extra baggage but give the girl a break that's my 3rd run this week - im trying!! Why can't I seem to let this go I'm so upset?

It's just awful. DP calls anyone who is even slightly overweight "fatty" and I think it's horrible and he doesn't understand why.

Then why are you with him? How can you be attracted to someone so nasty? Don't you have any self respect?

Does it not bother you that people will judge you, based on his behaviour? I've just pretty much instantly judged you here as being nasty, shallow and not worth my time or respect. Not because of your own behaviour but because of the behaviour you are condoning. And you are condoning it.

Saying its horrible means nothing if you're still going to put up with it. It's like that helpless shrug and 'boys will be boys'

@Notanotherwindow you sound horrible too

Notanotherwindow · 26/03/2022 16:33

@Ghostlyglow. I'm not saying you ARE like that but trying to point out that people will judge you by the company you keep. Like attracts like, everyone knows that. The fact is that if someone is happy in a relationship with someone so nasty, chances are they are the same way inclined.

I’m sorry to say I agree with your above comment, @Notanotherwindow.

HateNosyNeighbours · 26/03/2022 18:26

I’d invest in a GoPro and harness and run with that. If anyone says anything they’ll automatically be filmed. Then post the video of their faces calling you fatty on Twitter and other SM.

OP, imagine being the sort of twat who would do this to a complete stranger. You are out there getting fitter, improving your health and life. These oxygen thieves find it funny to insult a complete stranger - what utter pricks!

Hold your head high and don’t you dare let these POAS put you off improving your life.

Don't worry, their mental capacity only stretches that far. So they'll end up in a dead end job because they are literally too thick to do anything else, and probably end up actually fat as well. You're not fat anyway.

Some men just shout abuse/laugh at you at you for no reason at all.
I was on the road on my mobility scooter (road legal) and I regularly get cars full of "lads" tooting their horn, (startling me);and laughing as they pass me.
Middle finger is my usual response. They probably didn't see me but it makes me feel a bit better.

@Notanotherwindow I didn't say I was happy

It's not always men? I've had comments in shops by women.
Two girls in the queue in Primark whilst I looked at the belts that used to be at the side of queue staring and said 'she'll never find her size'
Another time in pound store guy with her staring said something to the girl and she said I know and look at the size of it.

@Ghostlyglow. Then ditch the loser. No one can do it but you. Don't waste your life on this piece of shit. God, you can do so so much better, find someone who is actually worth your time.
