I have an online business, and one of the people i do business with, i had to cut off because he was being very rude to our mutual clients, so i had to stop promoting his services through my website.
I have a single photo of me associated with my online business which is just a head/shoulders shot of me. He said i am an "ugly fat woman" and it really hurt . Then he attached to the email a picture of what he thought i'd look like on the beach. It was a pic of some 400lb woman semi-naked (i know i'm fat but i'm not that fat ).
This is all coming from someone who is meant to be a professional person who owns a web business of their own. I know i shouldn't be effected by it and they were just trying to hurt me, but i can't help it, it has really really upset me and brought me to tears reading it.
Even stranger is my reaction to it. In my head i'm feeling like i need to go out and eat fast food even though it's only 7.30 in the morning (maybe a mcdonalds breakfast!) and then follow it up later with chips or whatever else i can find to eat. Which is really really stupid! My proper response should be that i'm not going to let idiots like that derail me. I feel that by losing weight it's almost like i'm listening to criticisms like this and being bound by them to conform, so to prove them wrong my mind wants me to stuff my face and show them that i'm happy and fat regardless. Hmm...
