Well there I was today, half way through a gruelling 5k run with my PT and my hubby, when three young lads on bikes decided to follow in front of us, shouting ooh look at the fat woman, look at the fat cow in black, look at her fat wobbling. I know they are kids but it hurt and I could feel myself biting my lip and holding back tears. I finished the run but didn't feel confident running for the last part. If ever I needed motivation to keep being healthy that was it - even if it was cruel.:(
 
how nasty lucy ...grrrr but you completed the run ...you are doing something about your situation ..sadly they cant do anything about their ignorance ...big huggs hunny xx

I know it hurts, but the problem is with them. NOT YOU! 😡

Keep it going Lucy, you're infinitely better than those ignorant lads.

Well done for finishing. 🙂
 
Oh Lucy - nasty little vipers!!! It's so horrible when complete strangers are vicious like that - just shows how utterly ignorant & horrible, and what complete & utter scumbags/oxygen thieves they are. All credit to you for finishing the run - I'm just impressed that you are getting physical and are organised enough to have a pt etc! 🙂 Well done for doing what you're doing & don't let nasty idiots like that get you down.

Thank you everyone - they do say the truth always hurts though - so here's to me being really good until the memory goes away!! Always turn a negative into a positive I say, so I will lose the weight and then in 6 month or so, will do the same run, and chase the little monkeys and box their ears!!

thats the spirit lucy 😉 seriously you do alot of sport and you enjoy it so well done you xx
 
Thank you Am - I really appreciate it.
I will be okay - one day!😛
 
you are ok now ...with a few minor adjustments maybe 😉 but you are getting there ...keep at it hunny x
 
Thank you again - maybe I will take a different route next time. PT and hubby were really good though - could see watery eyes when I got back and mentioned it.
 
What a horrible experience. As someone has already said, they are the ones with the problem. You can lose weight, they are stuck with being ignorant.

Didn't PT and hubby hear them? Or would they so focused on the run they didn't hear anything?
 
Lucy that must have been awful. Good for you that you carried on running. You have done so brilliantly well over the past few months. You are a million times better than those little brats

Yes they heard, but I think they were pretending not too. They would never have caught the little monkeys, and one of them is the fastest runner in our county!

Thank you AJ - I will get over it!
 
Lucy that is horrible :( GRR!

Well their parents should be ashamed of their children, I would never have gone up to a stranger and started calling them names when I was young 😱

You are doing a great job with all your exercise and I hope you can forget about the nasty comments! xx
 
Thank you Katie - feeling a little less hurt today, although the legs are killing this morning!!
 
The little horrors you did so well carrying on..........a true inspiration.
 
Please don't be deterred from carrying on running lucy, they were most likely showing off to each other and would never have said it had they been on their own. It does hurt when insults are directed our way, but don't let this cut you up and keep up with your exercise and be more determined than ever to reduce your weight.
 
I've often had comments over my 30 year running 'career', it's unfortunately one of the perils of exercising outdoors and you just have to try and shrug it off. You have achieved a huge amount Lucy, in a very short time. Before too long they'll have to be more creative in their insults, as 'fat' won't be something they can apply to you, 'Look at the sleek, graceful athlete running - see how majestically she strides along, glowing with health and vitality!' :D

We obviously need oiks like you to 'insult' people, Northey!
 
What nasty little gutter sniper - you my dear are far superior to those shameful scum bags.

Two fingers in the air to them from you. I think you are amazing and good on you for carrying on.
Love Di x
 
Thanks again everyone - and Northerner - such a lovely and funny post, so glad you are back!
You are all helping me to laugh about it though! Thank you for being so nice!
