So hard to stay positive when there is always someone to beat you down.

Ever notice that when things are going great in your life that some is always waiting in the wings to tear you down? Today it wasn't so much about weight loss as just saying they don't even know why I exist ????. That is a hard one to take especially from someone I don't know. I try so hard not to be a mean person and treat people with respect. I am not perfect and make lots of mistakes. But it doesn't mean I am not human and get hurt ????

    It takes a very whacked person to say stupid stuff like that. Knowing that, I wouldn't give it a second thought because it's clear that there is something horrible in their life to make them think it'

  • Fat or not, how could you possibly let something a complete stranger said to you on the internet bother you so much? I would suggest you get some therapy to help you overcome some obvious self este

Hi. Thanks. Just had a bad day and then that happened.

I am actually in a great spot right now.

The sun will come out tomorrow

I'm glad I got to this part because I was ready to grab FMcF by the hand to find that cretin with me and then FMcF and I would kick him or her, whichever it may be, in the shins. Hard kicks.

The good news is that that person has to go through life being himself.

Special thanks to my husband for always taking up for me. I love you @@Fatty McFatster.

I repeat from last time: You guys are so cute.
I have to thank you both for being 2 awesome and loving people. You have gone above and beyond trying to be respectful, caring, and nurturing. That will not go forgotten. So thank you both.

You have been too kind. It's much more than we deserve, but it means a lot coming from you. So thank you!

That is terrible! Was it someone online? If so, just remember there are lots of strange people out there. I knew a group of teenage boys that would go online to different forums, make up a persona, and say terrible things to other people there just to see if they could start a forum fight. It was their idea of entertainment, and they did it all the time. So when somebody says something negative online, I just picture some acne-laden 14 year old boy and roll my eyes and move on. But I'm so sorry you are feeling bad. We love you. :)

Haha. You are so right. I am a member of another online forum and they call them "keyboard warriors" because it's not something people would ever dare say to your face. They only have the "strength" to say it across a keyboard and computer screen.
