Today, I achieved a personal goal by completing a half-marathon for charity, despite being overweight and unfit before training. When I finished I cried, not because I was proud of myself, but because I ran the last 2 miles while being followed by kids on bicycles calling me a "fat cunt". FML

That's absolutely horrible I'm so sorry :( tbh I don't think I could've finished it if that had happened to me. You must be very strong willed. Congrats and sorry again.

Considering they were behind a "fat ****" they probably were incredibly weak assholes

How old were these "kids"? I hope old enough to at least know the meaning of the word they used, but there's no excuse for that at all. I would have stopped, thrown them off their bikes, called them an equally derogatory name, and finished the run.

I am so sorry OP. it hurts me just hearing about it. I know what it feels like to be put down like that, and it's awful, to say the least. I know it sounds cliche, but you are beautiful. Don't listen to them. What's important isnt how much you weigh, it's whether or not you're healthy. I'd rather weigh 300 lbs and be healthy with exercise and a good diet than be 90 lbs and grossly unhealthy. Embrace who you are. You're obviously working to change yourself for the better, so congratulations on that. Getting up and changing something you don't like about yourself is a hard thing to do, so be proud of yourself. Don't let them bring you down. Look at it as even more motivation, more of a reason to prove to the world you're more than what those punks were calling you. Keep working hard and stay strong. Don't EVER let someone convince you that you're worthless or not as good as anyone else in the world.

You should be proud of yourself anyway for the accomplishment sorry OP people can be cruel.

I couldn't do what you've done. You should be really proud of yourself. I was bullied at school so I know words hurt, but try to focus on the positives like what you achieved today. You are worth more than all of them put together.

Damn, what kind of monsters have kids turned out to be?! I'm so sorry OP. But i'm so glad that you kept on going instead of stopping eventhough they were cycling next to you for the last 2 miles. Now THAT is true determination! I couldnt have done it.

thats horrible. people are seriously so mean.

There is no respect. Show them respect and kill them with kindness.

You did good. After being picked on for years I came to realize that if I know I did something good, I don't need someone else's opinion to make me proud of my accomplishments. Be proud of youself for the things you accomplish, it's the best encouragement and motivation you can get.

I hope eventually you look back at this incident and laugh, because when you get right down to it, the stupidity of others can be very amusing. You finished the race and paid no attention to those morons, so don't cry about it :) And I can tell you right now, despite not being overweight, I'm not all that healthy, and a half marathon is something I couldn't do AT ALL. Keep going and get back into shape.

She's already in shape. Please, people. You people who admit that you are thin, and still can't possibly do what she did. You admit that thin does not equal fit WHEN IT APPLIES TO YOU, but then you turn around and tell the fat woman who ran a friggin' half marathon that she is still not fit, simply because she is still fat… Please find some logic and apply it to your lives. Stop giving back-handed "compliments," by telling someone who has achieved far more fitness than you ever have that she is still not good enough for you, and needs to "get in shape." It is so insulting, I just… I can't… I'm getting offline now. URGH.
