Unfortunately, being fat is still fair game to comedians like Jay Leno. You wouldn't find it politically correct to make fun of someone who has another disease like cancer or polio. Society needs to be educated and I thank you for making this video. The more we speak out the more others can learn. HUGS!
Your anger & disappointment are valid, but you have to understand that some things just aren't meant to be understood - so don't stress yourself trying to find a logical answer to illogical people.
Your weight loss success is contingent upon your attitude & mindset. So please remain focused on the positive aspects of your life. Don't let ANY idiot set you back.
Please don't let these cruel remarks detract at all from your fantastic achievement up to date. You're hot now and you know it! lol and you're gonna be even hotter! We've undergone a life threatening but life changing surgery to help us tackle weight loss and we are getting the success we deserve. There is no need for us to hide in a chrysalis before morphing into the butterfly we will become. Our blossoming into a rose is gradual and worth the journey. Be happy with that and 'stuff 'em'!!!:o)
Angela I am so sorry this happened. I would be willing to bet this student knows that he/she is failing or close to it and wanted to be a mean a##hole and wrote that eval. I work at a large University and I handle the teaching evals for my department, and these evals would not even be considered. You have come a long way from the start of your journey, and you have had some major problems during this last semester. Mean people suck. Keep your head up, you are a beautiful person. All the best kim
And who is the truly UGLY one in this picture!?! Some very immature people have an irrational attitude of hostility toward large folks. I find it tells more about them than they know. It does hurt, even tho we know we shouldn't let it in, but it cuts deep, and it stays with you for a very long time too! I'm sorry for that. Please try not to let it take the wind out of your sails. You have the opportunity to inform, educate and teach lessons that only YOU can offer. Hang in there! Hugs, Cami
I wish I had some support to offer... but I am in a really bad place right now too. I'll keep you in my prayers. You don't deserve to be treated that way. No one does.
I saw 2 of my sisters for the first time since I have lost 124 lbs... neither one of them said a word about it. To the world, no matter how much weight I've lost, I am still just a fat fat freaking fatty.
If they had made a racist comment about someone, they would be in big trouble. It should be the same way for making negative personal remarks I mean if you were a black teacher and a white student made a racist remark he would probably be kicked out of school. It is a personal attack and I would take it to administration and get it on his record, but that is me. Don't let it get you down. You can tell you have lost weight and you are doing well.
This made me so sad to watch. Fat is curable, stupidity is forever. They may think that they got away with their mean and nasty comments, but their cowardice in saying such awful things will one day be revealed, "For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light. " Mark 4:22
Hey Angela, I'm sorry you had to experience this. Today as I'm walking out of the gym, some guys starts laughing and say whoa or OMG or something like that. I ignored it but part of me was just like how much more do i need to lose to never have that happen again. Somehow the 162 lbs I've lost already isn't enough. It sucks. I would focus on how these were only 2 out of however many. Probably less than 10 or even 1%. I completely get how you're feeling. It's okay to feel hurt but don't let it ...
people like that only try to hurt others because their own life sucks and they want to make other people feel bad so they feel better.. it's the only reason i can think of
It hurts. You need to realize that if it wouldn't have been your weight they would have been something else. They will get their's in the end. The best revenge is a full life well lived, that is what you are doing with this surgery. You only have to be good enough for you!
I would not even give is any more time. Thats too bad that they feel that way. how sad for them. You will be losing even more weight soon. you are a beautiful woman. You will be fine. You have so much to offer them. Shame on who did. that.
My perfect reply here would be to take this as an opportunity to teach these immature students about the DISEASE of Obesity and the struggle that (even their Professor) has to endure. With what?? 50% of the US population obese there are people in their lives who are obese.
It's a shame to think that they may treat family members as they have you.
omg Angela, you've got to think about WHAT TYPE of person would comment like that. I mean COME ON. They are jerks that seriously didn't have a mother to teach them how to be a decent human being. They are just purely mean-spirited and immature. Don't let these losers rob you of your joy. YOU ARE DOING FABULOUS. I'm sooo proud of you and am ecstatic about your progress. What you're doing IS good enough! It's GREAT! So shrug those little mean kids off! They need a Mom!
Mia is right. It's about them, not you. You were their target and I am sorry they hurt you. Boys that age will say cruel thing thinking it makes them cool, especially when they know they won't have to face you. Keep up the good work. Your well being is more important to you and others than they will ever be. Little shits!!!
Unbelievable. Chances are, they were two idiots that just enjoyed being mean for some unknown reason. The only explanation is their frontal lobes don't fully develop until they are 25 years old. (This is a fact). The thing to know is it really has nothing to do with you or your weight. As mean and vicious as the comments were, it was a reflection of them, not a reflection of you. So, don't take it personally, because it isn't about you. Think about the great comments.
