Frustration and anger

I'm so tired of the people who aren't afraid to call you fat, or a big guy or overweight or whatever they feel like saying! Since my surgery 10/26/2015 I have lost 50 pounds, I am stalled but continue to see the non weight loss victories. I go to the gym 3 days a week, in addition I walk everyday, not miles but I keep moving. I've lost over 6 inches off my waste alone. BUT......those same people still have nerve to say something, an example would be when I go to my men's club meeting we have breakfast. I have a scrambled egg, a slice of bacon and a nearly burnt 1/2 piece of toast, and I get told that maybe I should try eating the oatmeal instead. I've even been told to sit somewhere else because you're a big guy and people won't get by you. The best was when I was told "sure you lost some weight, but you won't be able too keep it off for long." I try to let it slide for the most part, but kind of lost it last Thursday when I told a woman, after she said I was a really big guy, I said "well I am fat, and you are old and ugly, and I know I can lose weight, but you will always be ugly." I know, wrong thing to say but I'm having more and more trouble shutting up!

    I understand your frustration completely. When it comes to weight people seem to think that boundaries and courtesy don't matter. I am fairly thick skinned. I have also noticed that even though I ha

Rude people! Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done for stupidity. You are awesome and are taking control of your health. Just because people are smaller does not mean they are healthy. Keep going. I always say that looking good is the best revenge!
