    Just kidding folks. Children can be cruel. It's a poor reflection on their upbringing. Hopefully his mother had a talk with him about his comments.

    Just remember that fat is a physical characteristic, not a personality trait and definitely not a character flaw.

    Congratulations on the loss so far. Sounds like you're doing great!
    LOL I wish I had the nerve to say something like that I did look at the mother and she was pretty much pretending she didn't here him. Thanks for your support.

    Everytime I am tempted to use food to satisfy my frustrated desires, build up my injured ego, or dull my senses, I will remember,
    That even though I overeat in private, my excess poundage is there for all the world to see.

      Had to share my kid story. I was in a store and a kid said to his Mom, look at that guy, I wonder how he got so fat. I heard her whisper to him he just eats way too much. I had to intervene then. i asked the little kid if he had ever eaten any watermelon and he said yes. i said well, this is what happens, you swallow one seed and the melons grow in your belly forever. The crying soon began.
      That is so funny. Wish I had thought of that

        I'd like to share a story with you.. My now 5 year old son.. was with me at the commisary.. (were military its our grocery store on post in case you were like.. the what? lol) I had just had my daughter and was weighing in at about 220.. Im pushing my little princess in the cart and my then 3 year old son was walking next to me.. I was strolling down the ice cream isle.. looking for my little guys favorite ice cream bars.. and i found them.. An ADULT lady about mid 20's looked at her hubby and said.. "She really doesnt need those.. they'll go straight to her already huge stomach" YES THOSE WERE HER WORDS!! Well my very intelligent little guy decideds to look over at her and say.. "My mommy buys those ice cream bars for me.. because she loves me. And she just had my little sister her tummy will be small again. And she'll be prettier than you!" Well even though it was rude of my little guy to say to her.. I smiled and kept walking.. and bought him two boxes of those ice cream bars!!! It just goes to show ya that sometimes "little people" have more heart than "big people"!! If my son were to make a comment like that child did.. I'd deffinetly correct him and explain how rude it was. Keep trucking along!! You'll be prettier than you already are!!

          Where was it mentioned that anyone wants to kill a child? I do hope you aren't trying to cause trouble?

                    My dad used to be a house painter... one day in the grocery store a kid turned to his mom and said... 'mommy mommy, look at that dirty man!' he always chuckled at that! not the same... just a funny story about kids and their darned honesty.
                    which reminds me... one day I was in Toys R Us and some guy looked at me and turned to his beautiful wife and said...'I'm so glad you take care of yourself...' that hurt my feelings... I totally forgot about that but you all reminded me... I was kinda cute back then too... sometimes people just don't care about people's feelings I guess. huh? Anyways, you look so pretty armywife... don't worry about what a 5 year old says... and keep up the good work.

                      It's in our DNA to be evil to one another--it's why there are wars and horrors in this world. It shouldn't shock anyone that a 5 year old can be just as evil.

                      I just wanted to point out that not every child who blurts out a bit of honesty is doing it out of spite. My own middle son has Aspergers (a high functioning form of autism) and he is brutally honest without realizing that socially acceptable forms of speech do not allow for him to be so in certain situations. He just doesn't realize that what he is saying can hurt others feelings. He just is making an observation out loud. Over the years I've had to correct him numerous times for saying things just like this.

                      That isn't to say that saying what is on your mind all the time is appropriate--especially when it comes from adults, but from a 5 year old... Kids need to be corrected and I'm willing to bet money that the parent of this kid was mortified. My oldest once blurted out at the lunchtable where we were hosting a nice lunch for our dearest friends, "Mommy went out yesterday because she had been yelling at daddy that she needed a new BRA!" I almost DIED that's how embarrassed I was but I used it as a learning tool and taught my son about appropriate conversations with outsiders.

                      Just like learning to walk, kids need to make mistakes in social situations in order to learn how to be polite. Some--like the grownups mentioned in this thread, (that ice cream lady for one--GRR) never learn, and THAT is worth getting upset over.

                        Wow! You must be so proud of your little guy. Such a grown up observation for a little guy. Sometimes rudeness can only be handled with a little rudeness. And I second that other poster. You are a beatiful person and have beautiful skin. And thank you for your kind words.
