Reply to comment by Owlie_Feet in [Text] Nobody at the gym is judging you for your weight. And if anyone does, they are so much worse than the worst you could possibly think about yourself. by lazybear90

First, good job losing weight! I'm apt to celebrate a victory when I hear one!

And thank you for agreeing with me! Though the downvotes I got might indicate you're the minority. I've just never found "Ignore the Haters!" to be helpful advice, let alone motivating. How we perceive criticism isn't a conscious choice: It's the result of a lifetime of experiences.
