Big fat cheater

HA HA People are starting to notice that I have lost weight, which has been nice and I am finally after all these years acceptting the compliments.:thumbup:Un til today at the gym one of the other members commented that I was looking like I had lost wieght, when one of the instructors butted in and siad " eh but she doesn't have work at it like you though cos shes been banded so its just the cheats way":cursing: This woman then went "oh how dissappointing for you"!!!!!!!

WHAT THE??????:eek:

Finally accepted this is not the easy way only to have ones nose rubbed in it. I really wanted to either scream "Oh F***** off" or just leave, instead i was very grown up and finished my work out put in a formal compliant about member confidentiallity and left thinking well my ass may be bigger than yours but my mouth certianly isn't!!!!!:wink: Would the general public judge people with other addictions like this? or would they have a bit more empathy and think good on you?

Cheers Chooky

DISCRIMINATION at it's best!!! You handled it well.

I think this STUPID, INSENSITIVE, JUDGMENTAL, instructor should have their mouth washed out with my pooh!!! Just who do they think they are?????? I am so proud of you not only for standing up and being so mature BUT to report that persons smelly pie hole. If you could you should give that person a piece of your mind, the strength to put closure to it and confront this person and make sure they will never talk about you to anyone else again. Heck you will be working out there again and this kind of discrimination needs to end. NOW!! If this is a respectable place no one should speak about anyone like that to anyone else!!

Can you tell I've got my hair raised on my back. You have just hit a sore spot for me. I have chosen not to tell anyone except my close family and I feel you have sealed my lips forever. I want to join and GYM and no way do I want anyone talking about me.

You did the right thing to report them. We are on a very hard journey and it is no less hard than anyone else.

Best wishes and you will be in my thoughts to day. imaluckudog KATHY

WHAT A JERK!! I hope he gets fired. I agree with luckydog. You need to confront him and tell him exactly what an unprofessional, uninformed, idiot he is! Congratulations on keeping your head held high and doing the right thing!

Wow...over here across the pond (JK. I Know youre an Aussie) you would have already lawyered up to sue his ass! Maybe say in a loud voice, "Thats my confidential medical info, I'm sure you don't go telling everyone about your long struggle with genital herpes!"

Do whatever makes you feel better...he really does deserve a bitch-slap (Americal slang?)
