I'm a teacher and I've always been the fat teacher. I work with inner city kids, so I've been called fat a$$ and other lovely names by some of my more precious darlings...

Yesterday, my students today were talking about their teachers. One asked if the other had that "big girl." The other said no, I don't have any fat teachers. I have that student 2 times a day :-) apparently I'm not a fat teacher anymore!!! :-D

Then I stopped the conversation because we don't talk about other people that way. In my head, I was dancing and celebrating tho!

Snochick, that is awesome that your weightloss success is being noticed by others. I am glad you are feeling good about yourself. Keep those positive thoughts coming!

I work in the inner city too and boy they can come up with some creative names!! I'm still out sick but am looking forward to the positive reactions

Your standing out now in a good way. and as a bonus...Your getting healthier and stronger and more energy as you go along.! Working with inner city kids must be quite the task. But rewarding eh?

I have seen the movies based on true stories. But I always imagined that they were tame rather then true reality...

I admire your strength not only in regards to your journey. But also your fortitude for teaching children whop really need you.

always been the fat teacher.

I teach at an alternative school. The other day, 4 days before surgery someone said I was wide as a billboard. At 265 pounds I don't think so but look at the source of the comment. It's hard sometimes because you want to say something back. But this time I knew. Not for long. Not for long.

Thank you for all your kind words! Yes the kids make it very rewarding and challenging at the same time :-) the could get very creative and hurtful with their names. More often, those students were truly hurting from something themselves and lashing out at me bc they know I care about them.

amumes- just think in a few months they won't be able to say those types of things anymore!! Don't let them get to you!
