You’ve done an amazing job of losing weight. Having lost my ex-husband this past December from a heart attack attributable to poor living habits, I view maintaining a healthy weight as necessary for longevity. The aesthetics are nice, too, but definitely pale in comparison to the benefits of living long and well.

Keep up the great work, and ignore the trolls. How small, petty and mean-spirited do you need to be to make yourself feel better by hating others? Karma is a fabulous thing – it’s the gift that keeps on giving!

I agree with someone else, give us their address so we can spam them baby! hehe…

I do get these searches that piss me off…I look at sitemeter and am appalled and how many people search for “fatt assed chicks” or “kelly lebrock is fat”, although I have to admit I may have searched on the second one myself.

You are right to ban their asses and let them know that their IP’s are coming up; no one can run and hide!

Nice Hilly says that she is sorry you had to hear that; no one who is trying to be honest and better herself should have to be talked to negatively.

Mean Hilly is gonna get Wayne Brady to choke a bitch ;).

I was called a “Fat bitch” in traffic the other day and all I could think was is that really all you can come up with to attack? I wonder what I’d be if I wasn’t overweight. I guess it’s a pretty easy thing to attack, since it’s there for them to see, but it’s sad to me that someone’s life is so shallow that I couldn’t be just a regular old bitch, but instead I had to be a fat one.

I wanted to comment on your site many times (more recently on that ghost thing), but it requires registration. And it’s not like I’ll ever use that registration for anything else (like my TypeKey for example). I think you’d get many more comments if it wasn’t for that.

PastaQueen,

sorry for hijacking your coments for this, but I couldn’t even find an e-mail address on her site.

Let me send you an “amen” and “hell yeah” to people being jerks upfront so they can be identified. Truth is a beautiful gift, ugly truth is even better. Helps you get to the real stuff quickly.

I am trying to figure out why people are so compelled to have a go at fat people. A little boy in the daycare group I work with on Monday nights said “You have a big tummy.” The other adult froze like a deer in headlights. I just agreed and moved on. He’s three and he’s stating every fact he can get his mind around right now.

At a bar on St. Patty’s, I was listening to some fabulous band, drinking my cider and a woman younger than me walked up and said “You big fat assed bitch” and walked away. Now what the hell was that?

I figure your troll is a more cowardly version of my bar chick, cuz s/he is hiding online where as I could have easily pursued the young lady and finished the conversation.

Point is, why are people so compelled? Someone should study this. Really.

I’ve never made a nasty comment elsewhere, but I have responded to nasty comments on other people’s blogs. I know, probably I should just ignore him, but a bit of solidarity sometimes feels like the right thing to do.

As for comments from real-life people? I remember every one.

It takes a pathetic person to belittle someone else to try and make them feel better.

Glad you’ve just brushed it off for what it’s worth, trash.
