Kim, first of all you have to calm down. Getting yourself so worked up that you give yourself a migraine and break down into tears isn't doing anyone any good. Take that adorable little Evie/Abby with you and go rest for a bit. Think only good thoughts and envision calm peaceful scenes. DO NOT allow yourself to start drifting back to thinking about this.

After you've calmed down, you will realize that like Sara says, you are very talented and will go far with your talent if you allow yourself to, and don't let things like this hold you back. I know self-esteem is sometimes hard to come by, but you need to hold your head high and believe in yourself! You are not too fat or too frumpy or too anything they said. Instead, you are a beautiful, wonderful caring person with a great artistic talent. They are the ones with the problems and you shouldn't let their insecurities fuel yours. I've noticed that when people run other people down, it's their own insecurities that make them do it and I don't believe in that. You are better than they are in so many ways, and you need to never forget that.

Like Sara says, instead of wasting energy on this, put that energy to constructive use, to something that will help better your own business/family/life and forget about those jerks. They will get theirs someday, and by that time you'll have put them far in the past and won't even care anymore.
