Friday!!! Good morning everyone. I have a confession to make...I have skipped my walk the last two nights. I wanted to pretend it was because I was tired, or that I just didnt feel well, but that wasnt it. I know that I shouldnt have skipped but something happened on Tuesday night's walk that really upset me. I was walking with my sister in law and we were about halfway around the block when a car with two college age guys drove past. We didnt think anything of it, they turned down the opposite way that we were walking. We walk a little ways more, get to the look out spot on the top of our hill and I hear a car sputtering up the hill behind us. It was the two guys that had passed us at the corner. They pull up beside us slowly and start yelling horrible things out the window. "Fat@$$" "Get mooooving, cow" and things like that. I am well aware that I am an adult and things like name calling shouldnt bother me, but they were going home, chose to turn around and come back just to be mean to us. I dont understand people. Here I am, trying to better myself, and they decided that they would come ALL THE WAY BACK, and make fun of us. It hurt me more that I wanted to admit. Made me feel bad, made me feel silly for trying, made me want to go home and eat. I didnt go home and eat, I went home and stewed about it. I made the stupid decision to not walk again. I know that I cannot do that. I need to be able to get out of the house. I need to get more exercise. I need that time, I wish that my sister in law didnt have to go with me, but I am never going to tell her she cant because shes trying to be healthier too and I am proud of her for that. I am going to walk tonight. I just needed a few days to not be worried that I would go out there and they would be there to make fun of me, make me feel bad. I know its silly, but it really bothered me. I just needed to share that with you all, a place where I felt safe. Thanks for listening.

I feel so sorry, I heard so many comments like this ("german panzer" was one) and every single one did hurt. But one thing is for sure: we can lose weight. They won't gain brains 👍😘

This breaks my heart. People are so disappointing sometimes. I am so sorry this happened to you.

There are no words to express how sorry I am that you experienced that. And no it's not silly that it bothered you. But only give them a minute (or less). Some people are horrible and unfortunately may never change but don't let them interfere with your progress. Don't give them that control. Here's to some great walks ahead and never seeing those idiots again.

People that go to that level are really searching to build themselves up. I'm glad that you ignored them as you never know what level they would take it to. People like that can be dangerous or violent. The best way to handle that is to ignore them and don't let them win. If it were me I would continue to do my walks but also it would be smart to change up your walking route. Also, there are walking groups on line that you can join where you can meet somewhere and there are a group of people that walk TOGETHER. Take care you are doing great, rise above and just know that there are many more people that care, then the idiots you encountered that day.

I am really sorry that happened. What jerks. Like they say, much harder to fix ugly on the inside. Don't let bad ppl sway you from your course.

People suck! There I said it. We all know we shouldn’t let what others say define or hurt us, but the truth is, it does! We ALL have insecurities, and you know what? It’s ok!!! Taking your two days to recover mentally is OK! As long as you try your best every single day, you are winning. Keep your chin up and no we got your back 😘

I’m so sorry I agree with little red fox and it is their problem not yours. Keep your head held hi.

Seriously, two guys in a car don't have anything better to do? Obviously they don't have girlfriends. If it ever happens again, take out your phone and start acting like you are filming them or taking their picture and going to post something on instagram. Say to your SIL "Look, two morons with no life" and keep moving. People are going to judge you and all you can do is keep doing what you know is right. I used to be a Girl Scout leader and I was always getting criticized by the parents for what I was doing or not doing and I would think I should quit. But then a teacher told me that we are trained to believe the negative comments and that it took 10 positive comments to counter that in our brains. Good for you for knowing not to eat to solve this trouble! You are doing a great job taking care of you and your family!

So sad that shit like those inhumane jerks can actually talk!!! Please ! jerks like that are not worth your tears and certainly have no place in your journey. Hopefully one day they will look back on this and feel ashamed. Be proud for who you are and what you are doing. I'm sure that you'd never stoop so low as those jerks so you are a bigger person in side than you are out and that's where it really matters💕👍

That’s awful, I’m sorry this happened to you. Some ppl can be so hurtful, but you are strong! I’m a great believer in karma 😉

That makes me feel so bad. I'd probably react like you and stop walking until I calmed down. I walk in my neighborhood and nothing like that has ever happened to me luckily. I agree that the problem is not with you, but with the idiots in the car.

I’m so sorry for shitty humans like that. They came from an abusive space and that was their way to feel better about their own miserable life. Please don’t let it affect you and thanks for sharing your story. I was in Chicago one summer and this older woman was speed walking past me... the incident brings up thought where I’ve had moments when I thought of her and wished I would have tripped the bitch, but that wouldn’t help anything. She walked passed me and turned her head and said “FATSO!” I was in shock that I didn’t know what to say or do... sigh. I was with friends and they didn’t hear, but how mean?! Right? You are doing great! Keep walking and try every day. You’re better and just laugh at them. Tell them “what you didn’t think I already knew that?” DUH! Stupid people. Weight doesn’t make you better or worse. Sending love to you.

Oh Sweetie, that's terrible behavior on their part. I am sorry you experienced that. I admire your honesty. It's hard work to not give in when we want comfort after our feelings are hurt. You keep going and keep succeeding, because that's who you are - Awesome!

I am so sorry that happened to you. You can't fix some people but you are doing wonderful things to make yourself happier and healthier so keep on going. You aren't worthy of giving in to them. Raise your chin, be loud and proud. You can change your size but they will always be small minded dicks

wow... what losers. lol have you envisioned walking up to the car and punching them in the face while thinking of a million fantastic come backs? That's what I do when i'm mad, usually in the shower for some reason... lol
I absolutely know how negativity affects us, and I know you know, but literally they are the last people whos opinion matters. Decent human beings don't do that, so something is wrong with them. I pity the fools.

That’s terrible! At least you are getting out and doing something about it. Take that as motivation to carry on! Lift your head up and keep soldering on! Don’t let small brain heads take your dream away.

Hi Klynn, I'm sorry for your hurt, great comments above, right? Here's the growth part...when someone is heartless and hurtful in the future, will you take your walk anyway? Your body will thank you, the fresh air, sunshine, wind and even a bit of rain are so very good for your insides as well as your outside! Making a conscious choice to NOT hear, NOT focus and NOT be affected by arrogance is hard, takes work AND practice but it can be done. Recall that arrogance and mean spirited people exist here on FS as well, but there are sooooo many kind and supportive people here...makes the trade off worth it! Be blessed ad keto on!!

It is sad that there are people like this - but there are. I have had to learn that what other people think of me is none of my business. I used to hate going to the gym because I was heavy and there were people there that looked like Olympic champions - it was my perception. I accepted that I was doing this to save my life; these are my goals. No one else was going to do it for me or keep me from getting there. all the laughing behind my back, snide comments and jeers just revealed their character not mine. How I treat people, my successes my reactions are what determine mine. You are doing great things and have a lot of support here and at home. You are strong and you have a plan - I wish you all the best on your adventure.
