I went to r/fitness 9 months ago and asked the nice people there for assistance with how to deal with the bike seat at the HIIT workout program I had just gone to my first ever class of. I was overweight (5'5" and 190 lbs), and had just had a baby. I was wondering if maybe they had a recommendation on a bike seat cover.
Everybody was great! It's not easy to post things like this for the world, but so many people were super nice and I felt good.
But then, the troll. Of course the troll, right?
Here was his message to me:
"Eat less"
I replied to him with:
"Thanks so much"
Then, troll boy came out guns a-blazin':
"You are a 5'4" 190 lb woman without training history so your body composition must be abysmal (like >50% fat). You say very fat, no, you're obese. You think exercise is the answer, it isn't. Most of your problems are due to the incredible amount of excess weight you're carrying around. The way to lose that debilitating weight is to eat less."
Grammer corrected for readers sake
Below is my open letter to troll boy.
Dear TB -
First of all, FUUUUCK you, you sad little asshole. What a shitty way to come at someone who was asking for some simple help and clearly already trying. Glad that's out of the way.
Secondly, at the time, your comments hurt because I believed them. I thought I would try, and fail just like I had 100 times before. I looked in the mirror and saw a monster. The number on the scale was so awful I stopped weighing myself, you said the things I was thinking. You said debilitating about my weight. You said abysmal in reference to my body. That kinda sucked.
At the time, I believed you. Now, honest to God, on the other side of this thing, I realize I WASNT THAT BIG. Dude, I was a size 16. I wasn't disgusting like you or I thought I was. Google a size 16 woman. It's big, but it's not debilitating, you dumbass. You shouldn't talk about things like that casually when you clearly have no idea.
Lastly, I lost 75 pounds and I lost every pound thinking about your shitty comment, so thank you.
