"I'd have knocked his teeth down his throat! Looking at your pics you're curvy but not big! Keep your chin up - you look lovely x" Violence won't solve anything you will of just stooped to their level....sometimes just look at them and smile makes more of an impact than any negative reaction | |||
"I get and have been insulted quite regularly at work both by customers and the management however I refuse to stoop to their low gutter level and comment back" What Do You Do? Why does it happen regularly? | |||

"Well done for YOUR weight loss and building YOUR confidence.

"I get and have been insulted quite regularly at work both by customers and the management however I refuse to stoop to their low gutter level and comment back" At work??? Surely if management are doing it that's bullying in the workplace and you have grounds to take them to a tribunal over that!! | |||

that's excellent. I lost over 4 stone, put 2 back on but starting to lose again so I know how hard it can be.
Years ago, when I was slimmer than I am now, I was on holiday with my ex and while sunbathing on the beach this mouthy mare walked by and said in a very loud voice 'Oh My God, look at the state of THAT' I was mortified and nearly cried as everyone nearby turned to look.
Never saw her again on that holiday, unfortunately as I thought of plenty I could have said afterwards, but maybe it's just as well or I'd have lowered myself to her extremely low bitchy level.
You carry on the good work and hold your head up high! | |||

"Hey, men with small junk have feelings too you know "But they don't need their bins emptying every week?  | |||
"So I'm a big girl, in height AND dress size and I know that! Over the last few years however I've been making a conscious effort to lose weight and have lost several stone so far. A few months ago I joined slimming world and that's been going great. A combination of that, plus this site and some people I've met along the way my confidence has increased dramatically however I had a run in with a total stranger that sadly has undone some of that hard work. I'd lost 3lbs this week and as it was a weekend I decided to treat myself a little. I was walking to the shop and as I walked past the nearby pub there was a small group of mainly guys and a couple of girls. As I got nearer one guy looked at me and then said to his mates "Look at the size of that" they all proceeded to laugh. I walked on seemingly with my head high but it has really knocked my confidence a lot. In hindsight though I'm really wishing I could have had the guts to turn round and say something like "I bet no girl has ever said that to you" but sadly I didn't. I'm picking myself up and I'm trying very hard to see past their stupid and hurtful comment. Got some good friends who are really supportive too. So my question for all you forumites today is....if you had been in a similar situation would you have walked past or would you have made some quick witted, sarcastic remark and what's the funniest reply you can think of? Also if you've had a random stranger insult you for no reason then share your story!" Seriously, we all wish that we were as witty as Churchill in momentary responses but most of us get unnerved and miss the opportunity. Just recognise that he was a sad bastard with no respect for humanity and probably had an awful upbringing. Let us hope beyond hope that he did not father any children. | |||

And thank you for your lovely post, really really kind of you! X"You're very welcome. All my life I've been teased and insulted because I was thin, and have a big nose .......I'm not so thin now and the big nose has improved with being broken a few times.
I love my imperfect scarred body, there may be bits missing and failing but it does the job, I'm still breathing. That's all I wish for each morning. xxx
You are a tall striking looking young woman and I bet the twunt who insulted you really felt intimidated and inadequate in comparison to your height and knew he'd never be able to pull you, (difficult to pull a goddess)so he got his retaliation in first ha! xxx | |||
"99 out of 100 people like that do so to cover up their own insecurities. Not responding and rising above it will add to their insecurities. Rest easy in the knowledge he will be crying into his pillow tonight whilst pulling on his tiny lifeless penis " So many people have referred to the fact that he must be insecure, i'm not disagreeing I just don't understand it. I'm insecure and would never dream of being so brazen and cruel to anybody just to boost my own confidence or for any reason for that matter. Just find if difficult to believe! | |||

I'm insecure as well but he was with a gang of friends and wanted to look big in front of them. Had he been on his own he would never have dared say boo to a goose probably. Bullies often act when they have an audience to boost their small egos! I hope you enjoy your 30th and I'm quite positive you will look marfelys in your dress!

Because it gives them the ability to go "oh he insulted me because he's insecure or inferior". It's the verbose version of the jerry springer favourite "you just jealous!!!" | |||

"Keep your chin up. From what i've seen in your pictures and your posts, i think your lush and lovely! You should ignore what people may say to you or what you may hear from others - it's just small mindedness from those individuals who got nothing better to do. And to be honest. Those who make comments like that are insecure about something about themselves which they need to portray on to others. However, we can say all these things but if you don't believe it yourself, then no matter how many compliments or nice things we say..it's all going to be in vain. What you should do and realise is that you yourself have taken active steps to lose weight or better your physique. It may not be the weight/body you ultimately want but a slight change is progress itself - that's what should boost your confidence. The fact you have taken steps to better yourself..no one else may realise but you do. It all comes down to you. Forget about what others may think. You do things for yourself. Keep positive and forget the negaitvities - it's just not worth it. Your a godess for a reason. "You're right in the fact that I do find it very hard to accept compliments but it is something I'm working on. Given myself a good talking to today and think I might be getting back on track. The posts on here have been great and very unexpected, been nice to see that there are some genuinely lovely people about! | |||

"PS. A lady i know is six ft tall and around a size 16 dress. Her doctor told her she was too heavy - she is six ft for gawds sake, any smaller dress size and she's look ill!" Gonna guess the doctor didn't tell her to change her dress size but her body fat percentage. But don't let common sense get in the way of your rant | |||
"I get and have been insulted quite regularly at work both by customers and the management however I refuse to stoop to their low gutter level and comment back What Do You Do? Why does it happen regularly? " Do you mean to deserve getting name called etc? Nothing as it's for what I look like Because they can and do | |||
"I get and have been insulted quite regularly at work both by customers and the management however I refuse to stoop to their low gutter level and comment back At work??? Surely if management are doing it that's bullying in the workplace and you have grounds to take them to a tribunal over that!!" Yes just a bit difficult to do it against the boss | |||

... I was alot bigger in the past, and yeap have had similar . But I fronted em! One occasion I walked passed some lads in a wine bar... Heard the comments and did a u turn.. Went straight up to the main culprit and whisperd in his ear.. That I so hope his sister, mum, auntie were never out enjoying them selfs and had to put up with such comments from C**Ts like you! He went beetroot red and he and his mates said sorry!
Don't let the arse holes in life penetrate you as a person ... I don't get any of it these days ( yes am big) cos when i walk out my door my head high, shoulders back, always wear a smile too ... And frankly I don't give a Shit! And wouldnt allowe others to make me feel inferia in any way...
Be Happy in your skin, you have it for life! | |||
"PS. A lady i know is six ft tall and around a size 16 dress. Her doctor told her she was too heavy - she is six ft for gawds sake, any smaller dress size and she's look ill!" I'm nearly 6ft and I'm aiming to be a size 14, not about the dress size as such but about reducing my bmi in order to be healthier. I think any smaller then a 14 for my height may look too thin but the doctor probably meant about her bmi! | |||

"A couple months ago I met a very pretty lady, smiling and laughing at a party and remember you were alot smaller than my phat arse although you felt embarrassed and knock in confidence. Would you really think they would say that if didnt have there little mates, to back them up.packs of wolves and people hiding behind keyboards are the only ones big anough to insult. I would have just turned smiled and walked on, very tempted to wiggle my arse but nah "Hey Sheri, such a lovely post! I remember that night, lots of smiling and laughing and was great to meet you! I know a lot of it was all just male bravado still hurts though but everything everyone has said is right. You dust yourself off as they say x | |||
"What makes you think he meant you ? " Quite simple when he looks at you, eye contact is made, he grins and elbows the guy next to him and says what he did whilst nodding his head in my direction. Then they all turn and laugh...not rocket science really! | |||

You know the truth about yourself, they don't have a clue. I hope your confidence in who you are continues to grow | |||

Hey Sheri, such a lovely post!
I remember that night, lots of smiling and laughing and was great to meet you!
I know a lot of it was all just male bravado still hurts though but everything everyone has said is right.
You dust yourself off as they say x"great to meet you too, when your next in London come down to EWS party always last fri of month,be good to see you again Of course it can hurt, its swollocks when people say 'words will never hurt me' however a bunch of lads and girls having a laugh at others expense, showing off etc is just silly.like you say brush it off, its very rare ive not had it. | |||
"Wow the comments you've all made have blown me away completely, I really wasn't expecting it and you've really put a smile on my face so thank you all so much!! That made me smile.
If anyone says anything rude to me I just smile and say thank you. It confuses them and makes me laugh. x""Always forgive your enemies, nothing annoys them so much" | |||
"well done for what you have lost and good luck for the rest to your target weight. some people will always make inappropriate comments, you did the right thing to walk on with your head held high.. "
The fact that you ignored them shows how much your confidence has increased. You know you look good and you do!
You make me wish I was tall!  | |||

"I get and have been insulted quite regularly at work both by customers and the management however I refuse to stoop to their low gutter level and comment back What Do You Do? Why does it happen regularly? Do you mean to deserve getting name called etc? Nothing as it's for what I look like Because they can and do" No i meant job. As if your telling the truth any medium to large company would be sitting themselves over that because you'd be able to take them to the cleaners | |||

"Wow the comments you've all made have blown me away completely, I really wasn't expecting it and you've really put a smile on my face so thank you all so much!! Don't know if this will keep the smile on your face but about four years ago a lady asked if I was pregnant,! I said no I'm just fat. Poor lady was mortified but I told her it was fine as I knew I was fat
Omfg
I'd be absolutely mortified too, if I was in her shoes and yours too!!!"It inspired me to lose four stone but unfortunately I've gained it back as I thought I could do slimming world on my own without attending the classes | |||

"So I'm a big girl, in height AND dress size and I know that! I'd lost 3lbs this week and as it was a weekend I decided to treat myself a little. I was walking to the shop and as I walked past the nearby pub there was a small group of mainly guys and a couple of girls. As I got nearer one guy looked at me and then said to his mates "Look at the size of that" they all proceeded to laugh. I walked on seemingly with my head high but it has really knocked my confidence a lot. " Cunts. | |||

"So I'm a big girl, in height AND dress size and I know that! Over the last few years however I've been making a conscious effort to lose weight and have lost several stone so far. A few months ago I joined slimming world and that's been going great. A combination of that, plus this site and some people I've met along the way my confidence has increased dramatically however I had a run in with a total stranger that sadly has undone some of that hard work. I'd lost 3lbs this week and as it was a weekend I decided to treat myself a little. I was walking to the shop and as I walked past the nearby pub there was a small group of mainly guys and a couple of girls. As I got nearer one guy looked at me and then said to his mates "Look at the size of that" they all proceeded to laugh. I walked on seemingly with my head high but it has really knocked my confidence a lot. In hindsight though I'm really wishing I could have had the guts to turn round and say something like "I bet no girl has ever said that to you" but sadly I didn't. I'm picking myself up and I'm trying very hard to see past their stupid and hurtful comment. Got some good friends who are really supportive too. So my question for all you forumites today is....if you had been in a similar situation would you have walked past or would you have made some quick witted, sarcastic remark and what's the funniest reply you can think of? Also if you've had a random stranger insult you for no reason then share your story!" If it happens again turn round walk up to them and say' I may be fat but your ugly. The differenc is in 6 months time i can be 3 stone lighter, you on the other hand will still be ugly' They will dissapear up their own arse quicker that you can say twat | |||

"99 out of 100 people like that do so to cover up their own insecurities. Not responding and rising above it will add to their insecurities. Rest easy in the knowledge he will be crying into his pillow tonight whilst pulling on his tiny lifeless penis And this post proves 100 out of 100 people will insult random strangers. And if he's one of the 99 he refers to has a tiny penis" I take your point. No better of me to chuck in an insult. Noted and withdrawn. | |||

It's not "helping them". It's not "tough love". It's bullying."Tough love can only cone from people who actually love you.

They aint crying about getting "insulted", so much for us British having "a stiff upper lip" clearly them days are long gone "You have no idea how she'd feel if she was insulted like the OP was. Stiff upper lip? What bollocks. You're just blaming the victim here rather than criticising the nasty arseholes actually at fault. Let's extend that thinking... She went out in a short skirt and was attacked? Well I don't understand why she'd dress like that. If she didn't then she'd be safer. And why is she complaining? What ever happened to the British stiff upper lip? He got beaten up by football supporters because he was wearing a football shirt of an opposing team? Well, if he hadn't worn the shirt he'd have been safer. He shouldn't be whining about it; what happened to the British stiff upper lip? | |||
"The wanker you came a cross probably does resort to a hand job because he has no social skills and no woman would entertain th e idea of being seen with him public" From the OP: "as I walked past the nearby pub there was a small group of mainly guys and a couple of girls." Setting aside he was in a group, which suggests he may have some social skills, women clearly were with him in public. | |||

"This topic reminded me of something that happened to an old college. He was a large man, very over weight but working hard to lose it. On his lunch break a very slim woman in high heels shouted 'Look at the size of him' and strutted off....or tried to, her heel snapped and she promptly landed in a heap on the floor. Karma is a bitch, sometimes you do get to witness it people like that man will get whats coming to them."Omg so funny, I nearly spat my brew out all over my desk!! | |||
