I suggest u stay cool .. take it easy, try to smile back @ her. She will get tired of doing that and stop. Take it in a sporting way.

To feel better about herself. Keep in mind, both of you are in a gym, so I would assume that both of you are, to some degree or another, rather insecure about your bodies. She probably feels insecure herself, so she boosts her own self image by bringing yours down. It's one of the usual motives for bullying, insecurity. Just try to shrug her hurtful little comments off and keep in mind that if she's picking on you, it's probably because she feels bad about herself. So why let someone's insults get to you when you know they're only grounded in self-hate and spite? If you talk to the management at this gym, they might be willing to have a few words with her to make her stop, or perhaps even go so far as to kick her out.(Although an actual banning is unlikely.)

My instinct tells me that if it were me, I'd wait till she got out in the car park and kick her ass! However, that said, I'd also stop and think about why Miss Twig is giving you a hard time. Perhaps she feels threatened? Weight is something that can (with effort) be controlled (obsessively as is the case with some), but looks aren't so easy. Sounds like she's ugly - ugly of spirit, ugly of mind and ugly of mouth. And well, you're better than that. You do realise don't you that you have the option of filing a formal complaint about her? Get someone you know to come with you and pretend not to know you but simply be there working out). If Miss Twig has a go at you, you've got a witness as well. Perhaps I'm not the best person to give advice because I hate bullies and it sounds like this girl is a bully. Bullying by the way comes from insecurities and feeling of low self-worth. Perhaps try turning to her and asking her just what it is about her life that she doesn't like and has made her so snide. Turning that kind of thing around and back towards people by holding their behaviour up to them as a mirror can often be a humiliating experience and a much needed reality check. Good luck with it. And, if that doesn't work, be sporting - or at least feel free to proudly take the ten points you get in the world of danger-driving when you run her skinny ass over!

Unfortunately some people are rude and insensitive. I'm sorry you are a victim of that. It's not fair for anyone to attack another like that. She is trying to defeat your motive for working out, she is doing her best to break your spirit of self worth. Don't let her do that to you. The more you get mad about the things she says to you, the more you made her day. Keep focused on the positive aspects and your goals and what matters to you. when she makes a negative comments toward you, agree and smile with pride and walk away from her and know that you are a better person than she is. Don't stoop to her level and get into a battle of wits, and negative comments toward each other, Thats what she wants! You are better than that. Stick to your plan and good luck.

Explain to her that although you may be bigger than her, you are working on it and things will change. However, she will always be as pig ugly as she sounds!!!

just like in pre-school girls and boys are kind of mean to each other usually because they like each other,or maybe she sees that your happy,friendly and confident regardless of looks, and the only thing going for her is being thin. Reguardless of what she says, weight is something that can be changed, a bad personality usually can't be.

It is pathetic that she feels the need to put you down....it's wise not to be cruel back...just say something like "Yeah, I really am bigger than you...in more than one way. My heart is bigger, and I have more respect for other people than you do. You must have worn it off on the treadmill." And smile.

She's flat chested huh???? She probably noticed even though shes skinny she's less attractive then you & thats her way of boosting her ego. Jealousy is such an ugly emotion. She's probably a snotty acting person that no one likes & she wishes she was more like you. thats why she's trying to make her self think she's prettier then you by trying to find something on you to make fun of but what she don't realize is shes making her self look like an ugly bitch that no one wants around. Beauty is only skin deep & it sounds like shes pretty shallow!!!

Don't mind her, she's starving! She's probably NEVER eaten lunch a day in her miserable life. She's just jealous cuz you can eat and STILL look as good as she does.

Some people do this to feel better about themselves. To make up for things that are missing from their lives. Then again, some people are just mean spirited and should be ignored.

Everyone here gave a better answer than I would -- and I WOULD: "F@ck YOU- Why do you think I'm HERE, Stupid???" Please don't downrate me for being honest-- I know it is not the best thing to say-- but Sometimes you just get tired of judgmental @ssholes.

why does she pick on me? It doesn't matter, just pick her back.

You're dumb. In the same sentence you complain about her calling you "chubbs" and then make the claim, which is likely false, that she is anorexic. Get over it. Tell her to go to hell.

becase she's jealous of you for some reason. Perhaps she even likes you!

When she takes a shower, steal her towel, that should even the playing field.

She picks on you because the universe placed her in that position for many reasons... To motivate you to work out harder. To see what you don't want to become. To kick her ass. I'm also sure that there's a policy against her harassing you. She could have her membership taken away with a quick conversation with a supervisor.

I think some skinny people don't realize how much a comment like that hurts, or maybe they do. You could say,Do I know you? Oh yea you were the girl at the dentist office getting a new front tooth, wanna try for two?

jealous

Something about you threatens her..perhaps you are very outgoing and friendly and therefore others are attracted to you! She is one of those unhappy-with-herself people who are a pain in the butt to be around! Just smile sweetly and tell her "thank you very much"..no matter what she says to goad you!:)

She's jealous.

Cos looking like a coat hanger has it's negative aspects:you think you are beautiful,you don't realize you are boring the shit out of everyone and most of all,I am talking about the girl here:She is so jealous of you she picks on you from preventing her brain pop out of her head.:-))

ENVY!!!!

It probably has something to do with the fact that she's female.

What a nasty girl. Just ignore her.
