Got called a fat pig

Hey guys,

I thought Id share this little story. Just for reference: I weigh around 265 lb now. When I started losing weight, I weighed 332 lb.

A few weeks ago I was walking to the local swimming pool to get some exercise. The walk towards there took me around 20 minutes, I planned to stay for an hour and walk back for 20 minutes. The day before I had walked around 12 km and hiked through a wood while doing that. I was actually freaking proud of myself when I walked to the swimming pool.

Enter "the man". Calling from the street, sitting in his car and driving past me, he thought his life would become better, if he called me a "fat pig". At first I wasnt sure if I had heard it right..... and then, instead of feeling ashamed for being myself, I just felt pity for him. What a pitiful human being must you be for being mean to somebody just walking on a street beside you? Also I thought about the fact, that I probably did more for myself than he did in the last few days.

Before I found this subreddit and all in all started to take this journey seriously, I would have felt crushed by this comment. But now, it doesnt even concern me and instead it only made me stay for 1 1/2 hours at the swimming pool to feel even better! So the joke is on him after all, right?

Im so glad that I feel good about how I look and have the confidence I didnt have some pounds ago. So everybody, lets not get discouraged my mean words, those people dont matter in the long run! ^_^
