There is a this woman and her trainer just talking down on far people even one that had bypass. I feel like slapping them. Ok almost done with my bike. 3 more min. Ugh.

I'd be tempted to call them on their rude attitude. Politely and directly.

Some people don't understand that some people can't do it on there own. I lost 120lbs on my own 4 years ago and gained it back plus 40lbs and no matter what I did I was stuck.

I am happy I have a trainer that understands and has worked with people that had the surgery before. He told me as long as I work hard and push he doesn't care what I did to make myself healthy as long as I did omething about it.

I so agree. Of course I'm crying like a baby. People think this is an easy or doable journey with or without surgery. It's not. I have a hard time with mean people. Gotta butch up.

Just use it to work out harder. don't let people get you down. You are not doing it from them so screw them . At least thats how I feel. hang in there.

You just have to feel sorry for those kind of people. It just shows you how some people can only feel good about themselves by tearing others down.

Makes for an ugly soul.

I would have been tempted to walk up to them and say "In the future you should probably keep your conversations a little quieter; you never know who you could be offending."

You are right. Sorry for venting.

I so agree. I'm the bubbly kind of girl. Don't like ugly souls.

Just remember that this trainer is an ignoramus that has no clue about what she is talking about. She would better serve her customers at the gym by focusing on their training than talking trash.

You are one of the few brave souls that has taken the huge, conscious step to feel and look better. You have not taken the path of sitting in the shadows feeling ashamed and defeated. You my dear are a powerful woman. Just remember that.

My trainer tells me all the time that I am his guinea pig because he has never had someone who has had WLS before. That doesn't stop him from kicking my ass two days a week!

The only thing he has insisted upon is me eating more calories/protein which I have slowly been increasing and needed to because the workouts with him are getting tougher.

Let the haters be your motivators!!!!

I love how people who have never had a weight problem in their entire life have something to say about people that have WLS. Walk in my shoes b*tch! I think they should be made to wear a suit double their weight and go about every day life and see whats it like and what its like to have others look down on you because of your weight. So lets see, there are haters that look down on the obese and the same haters look down on people that have WLS. No pleasing the haters so screw them.

Some people just have not empathy for others. I'm sure chubby people aren't the only group they talk badly about. It's their personality and I feel sorry for people like that.

People still don't view obesity as a disease, even though science has proven so much of it is genetic. Imagine if she were saying something like "People with heart disease are so weak!" or "People with cancer--psht, why don't they just get off their lazy butts and do something about it?" Can't imagine people would find that nearly as acceptable!
