HI,

You won't go to jail and you should report this to Walmart

management and the police. Hope you got his license number

and his car description.

No one should have to be physically or VERBALLY ASSAULTED

and you were. Don't get defensive get mad and stick up for

yourself. Did any of the Walmart employees witness this? If so,

they should have called the cops.

You are a human and you have rights and one is to be treated with

respect.

PS Be proud of your accomplishments--losing weight--and I want to

lose 50 more--is hard, even with the surgery--but one of the most

rewarding things you can do for yourself. (11 1/2 months and

down 135)

First off..congratulations on the terrific job youre doing!!!

I would have parked my car behind his ...rolled up my windows and called

the cops....he was harassing you and you should have pressed

charges...people like that need to be taught that we have rights..he

probably went home and kicked his dog or beat his kids....he was completely

out of control. Just remember Tresa...he doesn't KNOW you..he doesn't

matter in your life...PIGS like that will always exist..and if he couldn't

have used your weight against you ..he would have found some other method to

abuse you..he was unhappy with HIMSELF..not you...

,

Hon you are not alone. Something similar to me just happened last night. To

make a long story short... a man and I both had our dogs off of leashes...my

dog (50#) went up to his dog (150#) and he yelled at me to come and get my

F(*%^ & g dog... and I ran over there. He said that his dog, which he was

restraining at this point, could bite my dog and tear him to bits and it

would be ok and my fault. He then ended it by calling me a " fat pig " I was

in utter shock!

I walked my dog back accross the street, from the vacant lot, and talked to

my neighbor who witnessed it. This all bothered me imensely! Here I have

lost 226#!!! I went from 396+ now down to 169#... and may be large, but

certainly not fat! It hurt me deeply still to be lashed out like this...

All I can say is that the man is obviously a very angry man, and must lash

out at others to make himself feel superior and in the right. This doesn't

excuse him, but they have to live with their sad selves.

I know how ya feel hon! Hang in there,

Gosh...you are great! What self-control. I'm afraid I would have opened an

industrial-sized can of Whoop-ass on him.

You don't have to take abuse from anyone. Take out your cell phone and dial

911 if something like this happens again. The man behaved in a dangerously

unbalanced manner.

All the best,

Sue

Someone who consistently drills in a subject like that man, obviously has a

mental problem. He is not happy with his life and he has to make someone

pay for it and make someone very miserable. Just know everyday you become

prettier and healthier.
