when you get bigger and look better you feel more confident and you bosses notice, pay no heed they are only words.
People laugh and mock what they dont understand.
when you get that raise and promotion and look better you will get followers trust me.
You have to be somebody to have someone talk shit about you, at least they know you are trying and i am sure some women find that very attractive and some guys even envy it wishing they had the dedication to do so too.
all in all FUCK'EM!!
