Getting Called Fat After WLS

  • Popular Post

I have a little rant about stupid insensitive people who don't know how to keep their mouth shut.

Why do people feel the need to tell you that you are fat...

Its like .... what!!! No way! I never knew i was overweight.. i got my stomach cut off because i thought i was thin! I dieted for years because i was bored! I have spent the last month eating like a mouse because i have nothing better to do!

I had the sleeve 4 weeks ago... and finally it is starting to show physically.. so i was feeling so good about myself.. until BAM!

Some idiot at work felt the need to mention that i was "chubby" and that i am lucky i don't hurt myself.

Mind you i am 5'7" and 216 pounds.. and a size 14... i thought i hold my weight really well.... even my surgeon said i don't look what i weigh...

I just wanted to punch this guy in the face.... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I bet HR would like to hear this story. People are clueless sometimes. A girl at my work told me if I was her child she would put me over her knee and spank me, but she couldn't do that regardless because I would crush her to death... ummm thanks! I don't know how people make it so far in life without the ability to self edit their thoughts.

Oh and also, I would love to be 217 and a size 14. Good job so far!

Oh wow... some people have no filter.. they seem to forget that just because we are overweight that they do not need to sensor themselves... they forget that there is a normal sensitive person who has feelings.

@AussieGirl81

You should have told him he is lucky you don't hurt him after such a dumb ass comment!

Really, Those. Exact. Words.

hair - not much

Young - 52

Dumbass - definitely

Now that ive calmed down a little... its actually sad.. that we as a society are so focused on size.... yes i am chubby... but for a fatty... i can outrun any of my little tiny friends at the gym... im active and confident... thankfully... so to be judged is kinda annoying

Aww i love you guys!!!

At least someone understands how i am feeling!

Yes.. i agree... the face is probably not the most suitable area... kicking in the genital region sounds much more appealing

Punch em in the fourhead

Now now pup... we are not allowed to say that now.... lol you will be called abusive and irrational lol... sorry couldn't help myself haha

@

52 going on 15 by the sounds of it .....

Could always ask him when his hair is going to grow back ..... aka "had a look in the mirror recently"?

"had a Brain bypass recently" ???? etc etc

You are doing great, taking control of your life, and some people just can't handle it, gotta feel sorry for them.

However, if he keeps doing it, the rude remarks, notifying HR, supervisor, manager etc could be the correct way of dealing with it.

Bullying and harassment is illegal, this includes rude remarks, commenting on another person's appearance with sarcasm and malice. Thinly veiling it as a "joke" etc. It is discrimination, which is also illegal.

So, as much as it would be very satisfying to get back at him, it may backfire.

Just simple: "If you keep harassing me in this way, I will have to report you to HR, manager, etc"

Bullies are cowards, and have their own insecurities. A formal warning may just do the trick.

Good luck!

Yes true.... i should have said.... maybe you should take a page from my book and eat a little.... you are too thin!!! Seriously a size 0 would squash this dude lol

Funny how its okay to make fun of overweight people but not thin people.

Hahaha its so annoying... now that its been a few hours since it has happened i have thought of like 50 comebacks to say to him.. dont you just hate that!!

Well... to make my day better... a lady that i see on the train home from work actually came up to me and said that i am looking good.. so that made me feel a little better...

I know ive only lost a small amount of weight but it shows fairly quickly on me.. so yay me...

Let HR be the one to slap him in the face. Seriously!! People like that will never learn otherwise to keep their thoughts to themselves.

All else fails, justifiable homicide ????
