It was on a crowed bus, and she was an older lady. Uuugh!

You can and you will lose weight...and she will always be a mean spirited ugly lady. Feel bad for her, and great about yourself cause you ROCK!

You're right, I should be laughing it off. After all, i AM having the last laugh!

Forget about what people who don't matter say or think about you. You are changing your life for the better, but at the end of the day she's still going to be an old, wicked woman. I'll bet her family doesn't even like to be around her, so she is to be pitied. You have friends - albeit virtual, we like you just the way you are.

Mind you, I was being NICE to the lady... She put her bag on the seat next to me to get her metrocard out to pay and I gently said: "you may sit here". That's all I said to her. She said she wouldn't fit with my BIG ASS (in Spanish)

What an odd way for her to respond to your kindness. Her comment had all to do with HER and nothing to do with YOU. It must be miserable to believe there is no room even when it is openly offered. It makes a person wonder what kind of life she leads --is there any joy at all?

Keep on being kind. You won't always get a positive response, but it's a lovely way to be in the world!

That says everything about her and nothing about you. She must be such a sad person to have to denigrate others. Or maybe she was just crazy. I get a lot of comments (negative and positive) from crazy street people. That's just normal for a big city.

Unbelievable.....grown people name calling like this. She behaves live a child in grammar school. Clearly, the woman has issues that have absolutely nothing to do with you. Doesn't make it sting any less in the moment, but try & see those type of people for what they are.

We all know that we are not able to influence the way other people believe, think, say, or do.

The best protection against being offended or made angry is to "make your skin thicker", consider the source for the offending remarks, and then move on. You likely will never encounter that person again...let it go.

Staying angry over something hurtful like you encountered means that you have given away your power to choose to another who does not deserve it.

She likely has already forgotten about the incident...but you are still feeling offended. Does that make sense?

Keep focused on your path...that is the choice you can make, and feel sorry for the immature woman.

She's probably blocked many more blessings in the process.

People can really suck! That's where you hold your head high.

Thank you, sweetheart!

Thank you all for your responses. <3
