I just found this great blog post that has some ideas about how to deal with haters -- those negative people who like to tell you what they think.

1) Understand that judgement is inevitable.
2) Consider the source. If you are getting criticized for your new lifestyle by somebody who is out of shape, unhappy, overweight, and generally miserable, it’s probably not worth your time and effort to worry about it!
3) Get them on board (if they are truly wanting to support you)
4) Consider how you spend your most valuable asset: time. We have a finite amount of time on this planet, and you have 100% control of how that time gets spent. Surround yourself with people that want you to be better.
5) Understand that you’re not alone.You can still have unhealthy friends and family members – just make sure you are ALSO spending time with people who are healthier and stronger than you too
