Tina Fey Says It Best

January 21st, 2009

The other day I was looking at my iReport comments and found this lovely jewel:

cnnhatercomment_0119081

Back in the old days, I might have gotten righteously indignant about this. And then I would have cried.

However, in the new Obama “era of responsibility” I would like to say that I take full responsibility for my issues with weight. And believe me, I am sooooo working on it. Just ask the person that was next to me at the gym this morning. I completely looked like arms were going to pop off from the flailing motions that I was making while trying to keep balanced on the elliptical trainer.

I have to admit though, a little part of me wants to react a bit like Tina Fey did in her Golden Globes speech:

And so I will.

Bobby1010, YOU CAN SUCK IT.

    Indeed he can suck it. He’s probably the one actually sitting at home stuffing his face if he has nothing better to do than insult other people.

    Why do people bother writing nasty comments like that when you’re brave enough to go through public self-improvement? Screw ‘em. You’re doing a great job.

    What a jackass. He can suck it! :) How silly that people take time out of their lives to say mean things instead of using them to do something constructive.

    I’m sure Bobby is a handsome guy with a good life and he just wants to spread a little happiness around.
    Have you tried reading his words in different tones while making different faces? Maybe in some particular way to relate to it you can actually see that he had good intentions?!?!?!?!???????….

    Way to respond! Bobby1010’s brand of gratuitous ugliness is disgusting, and it says far more about him than he probably understands. Take some pleasure, too, in the knowledge that when you’ve successfully lost the weight you want to lose, he’ll still be an unpleasant jerk with nothing better to do than fling lame insults at honest, inspiring people.

    I’m sure Bobby1010 is a LOSER. I’d much rather be called fat than be a LOSER. Fat comes and goes, but he will always be a loser with nothing better to do than read other people’s blogs and make loser comments!

    You know how I feel about this. You did EXACTLY what I would have done. Point out the insensitive jerks, tell then you won’t stand for it on YOUR blogs and move on. We all know everyone isn’t “nice”. That’s life but I’d rather face these pricks (sorry only word that came to mind) eye to eye and say back of jerkwad.. you’re in MY house NOW! LOL

    High Five Sista! :~P

    Bobby 1010 reminds me of “those” guys in high school and, thanks to Facebook, we all know how they ended up ;) I read some statistics about clinical trials in weight loss, and even with all the help the study participants get, the average loss is 26 lbs/year. So according to my calculations you are well above average…. suck on THAT bobby 1010!

    Yeah, he can totally suck it! Taking the first step is just part of the journey. I’m losing this year, too. Good luck to both of us.

    To add to the weight loss tv show stuff- those people are burning 6,000 calories a day and only eating 1,000-1,200.

    I’m kind of upset by how you said in your video that you want to look like how you feel inside. That kind of thinking is what puts us at war with ourselves when we really need to embrace ourselves no matter what we look like. The war shouldn’t be internal, but external– we shouldn’t be fighting ourselves, but the years of enforced ignorance to health due to a cultural infusion of fast foods, junkfoods and preservatives, media images of the “ideal” woman figure, illusions of quick-fix diets, etc.

    I applaud you for taking personal responsibility of your health. Try to think of the scale and pounds lost (even if it’s only one lb!) as more of a measure of the fact that you’re not falling back on old habits rather than a gauge meant for keeping track of whether or not you’re winning a race against yourself. And don’t get discouraged if you gain- keep on fighting! Ignore the rest!

    Poor Bobble head …errr… I mean, Bobby … was probably never loved in his life — not even by his own dog. He’s probably that guy who constantly gets rejected in those virtual world dating rooms. Even Rosie Palm doesn’t want to have anything to do with him because he’s … well, let’s just say, “lacking.” He’s never rec’d encouragement from anyone and the voices in his head tell him to be spiteful because it makes him feel superior even though he’s some grease-headed, computer nerd, leach living in the dark, stinky basement of his great grandmama’s house.
    Although I’m not a guy … I still feel the urge to say to him, “Neil and Bob.” (those with dirty minds will get that one)

    I’m sure that Bobby’s spectacular social skills have led to his having a rich and fulfilling life full of warm interactions with friends and family. Oh wait…he doesn’t have any of those, or a life in general.

    Loving your site! I try to read it every day. Keep up the good work. Don’t sweat Bobby; sweat off the pounds! You’re doing a great job.

    The good news is is that there are more of us than there are bobby1010s.

    We kick ass.

    “…a little part of me wants to react a bit like Tina Fey …”

    A large part of me reacted that way! Well said. Sadly, there will always be anonymous loser trolls like bobby1010.

    Unfortunately, there will always be narrow minded people whose sole purpose in life seems to be putting other people down. Especially others who are trying to do something positive with their life. In this case, you are doing something that is not only good for you, but will hopefully encourage others to take that first step and try to get healthy too. ‘bobby1010′ is probably one of nature’s finest examples of a douchebag, with nothing more to do than to pick on other people to stroke his/her own fragile ego. Pay no attention to that comment – use it to help yourself do more. I think that you are doing a smashing job with this site – keep up the good work!!!
