Can't wait for this moment. School reunion in May with the nastiest girl on planet who was thinner than a stick insect last time I saw her. She is apparently approaching 30 stone now according to the grapevine. Everyone she ever called fat at school myself included is going. A bit hypocritical on my part as I've had surgery but I expect carnage from the others.
As you say KARMA !!

A similar thing happened to me the other day. A girl I went to college with, who didn't bully me as I'm quite a bit older than her but she did other people, reporting it was all I could do as being much older than her confrontation etc wasn't sensible, anyway I saw her and I pretended I didn't recognise her and then she said asked if it was me. I acknowledge It was and the person I was with said you won't recognise her now as she is half the weight she was! A bit tackless but I laughed it off and said actually you look a lot different now too - she knew what I meant because she had put on a lot. I didn't revel in pointing that out but it seemed only fair. I don't believe karma but it is nice when some people get a bit of pay back for being cruel.

Picking on, laughing at, judging people who are overweight is wrong - end of story.
Nobody 100% knows what contributes to a person being overweight, alcoholic, etc (excess food and/or drink is not the full response) I know what it is like to be picked on, singled out or left out for my size (family, school, work, community) being shouted at by strangers for no other reason than it made them feel better than me, got a cheap laugh. Nobody knew or cared about the lasting effects on me - I was only hurting myself and people who loved me (because I was sad, didn't want to socialise etc)
Don't join in the persecution of fat people, you know it hurts, you know people who do that are ignorant idiots. Hope they get better, don't be one of them - you never know where your journey will take you.
You were better than the bullies, stay that way xx

Maybe I'm missing something because although its fantastic for you (and all the others commenting) to feel so good about yourself and to have achieved too much, it seems like you are being judgmental and hurtful towards others because of their weight. Haven't we all lived a lifetime (or maybe it's just me) of being made to feel like absolute crap by other people.............sometimes to the point of real issues and upset. How is this different? Do as thy will be done! Well done for loosing the weight and becoming slim, not so well done for adopting the attitude towards the rest of us who are not there yet!

I don't think so at all. No one here cares that these people have put on weight, they are not judging them for being overweight or for what ever reason they got there. They are simply stating - see it can happen to anyone, you won't be so quick to judge next time. I don't think anyone thinks they are better because they are losing weight/have lost weight (I certainly don't) but maybe feel justified in being glad that someone who bullied or tormented them has learnt a lesson about the realities of life. As you say, be careful about judging people....and if anyone (well can't speak for everyone but most people that I know on this forum) thinks people here judge overweight people you very much mistaken. Even those who have lost 100/150/200lb plus might not be at goal and even if they are - you don't forget where you've come from or even how far you've yet to go. It's a constant battle. I don't think it's unfair for anyone who has been bullied to be pleased that the bully has learnt a much needed life lesson, in fact I think you'd be a saint not too hope they done, the easy way would be better but that isn't always to be, as being bullied can destroy your life.

Hear hear Shelley :clap::clap::clap:
In my case, I don't intend to be one of the front liners on this girl from school.
My reasons are simple for that
1) she has replaced an eating disorder for an eating disorder
2) fat or thin I am expecting her still to be a total cow
3) it was 25 years ago, get over it
4) there is nothing that she could possibly say to me now that would make me eat like she did for 15 years at school.
5) I couldn't care less about her
BUT, judging or no judging I can remember over 25 years ago her last paragraph she spat out at me as I was fat.
I want her to remember what she said to me and how it felt.
But ultimately I think that this girl has no clue just how much she was hated at school, and most of my school friends that I have kept in touch with, have reverted back to being 18 again as an unexpected opportunity to get off their chest what we all should have done aged 5. Picking a school reunion to come out of your social closet into a room full of people's lives that you made hell. It's human nature to need a response.
And I had better exam results than her

Sorry ladies I'm with JoJo & Dinda on this too. Yeah you have the right to laugh and gloat inwardly.. Hell I know I would but to openly feel the need or take pleasure in seeing them hurt the same way as you were in the past makes you no better than them. Rise proudly above it because you never know they may appear here looking for support to go through WLS ... Would you deny them that support because of your past grievances? I truly hope not x

I think us childhood "fatties" (god how I hated that word and still do) will all have similar stories to tell Wendy and yes I often fleetingly wonder were my tormentors are now and how their life turned out but it is just a fleeting thought usually when a memory has been sparked. If I constantly dwelt on how people made my life miserable in my early years and wishing payback i would be bitter, twisted & probably locked up. There is a whole school full that made my life unbearable when I was 5yrs old and stayed in Smethwick... Pupils of Corbett Street School circa 1965/66 just be glad I am not vengeful because you really did make my life hell & I thank god I was only there for 8 months before I moved up north. Children can be the most hurtful creatures on earth. As a well balanced resoned adult I can forgive to a certain extent .. but forget.. no. x
