    They could not lock the seat when I was on an amusement ride. My wife and kids had already been locked in and I couldn't ride with them.

    There are so many.. but one that sticks out is from when I was younger, around 14 or so. I was never obese, but I had some extra pounds on me for sure. I was out to eat with family on a Sunday and as I was eating, my Grandma said "Eryn, your rolls are hanging out." It devastated me and I still think of it to this day.

    Also, when I was younger, I had friends who made fun of me for being chubby. When they'd be over at my house and I'd approach them, or maybe walk up the stairs to meet them, they'd put their arms out beside them in a curved motion, insinuating how wide and round I was.

    My family were commenting on my weight-gain behind my back when my little cousin (3yrs old) overheard and started saying "amy fat" over and over. The worse part though was my aunty encouraging it and other relatives finding it hilarious.

    That is just terrible, what is WRONG with people?

    A few years ago, I was driving with the windows down and stopped at a stoplight when I heard something coming from the car next to me. There were two guys in their 20s in the car next to mine and they were looking at me saying "moo!!" When I instinctively looked over, they said "How's it going cow?" and mooed at me until the light changed. I was so devastated that it crushed my self esteem and made things worse for me for a while. People can be so cruel. That experience just sticks with me. So simple, but so traumatic.

    I cannot even read this anymore, it's making me hate people.

    I think the worst thing for me was being yelled at out of cars. It happened to me again and again and again from the time i was a teenager. Just so...public and shaming and hurtful and embarrassing. One time I was even pushing my newborn in a stroller, but that didn't stop someone from mooing out of their car and screaming at me to move over so they had room to drive by (I was on the sidewalk).

    I never knew what it is about me that seems to invite people to scream at me about how horrible I am while I am just trying to live my life. :(

    Just this past weekend actually. My husband who is my best friend and has loved me no matter what size I am told me that I was no longer attractive to him. That he was sick of my weight, and that our daughter was embarrased by me and has to defend me when people ask her if her mom is "the fat mom"

    Suffice to say, any past insults by strangers and "well meaning friends" became moot.

    @eddieeats I hope it was in that moment you broke up with her. She sounds like a horrible human being! Gah it made me furious reading your story. All those ladies in class including your ex-gf are *kitten*. I wish you luck in your weight loss journey!

    Actually, I've barely spoken to him since....

    However, on the other hand, at least he had the balls to be honest.....

    He knows he hurt me deeply. I don't know maybe I needed to hear it......:brokenheart:

    What's actually worse is what it's doing to my 10 year old daughter. What kind of an example am I setting for her??

    Over Christmas break my husband, kids, and I went to visit family. I went shopping in stores with family that market to smaller women, and I could tell people were looking at me. My in laws made comments "nicely" about how I should lose weight. Then on a date with my husband he had a long conversation with me about how I carry my weight well, but I would be so much more attractive if I would lose weight.

    I never had any terrible experience like some of you.
    I got "the looks", yes, that's why I never joined a Gym or went swimming for a very long time.
    My turning point somehow several month before I really started with weight loss was a trip to Northern Ireland.
    We were walking around places, the weather was beautiful and we enjoyed ourselves.
    However, when we came to the Carrick-a-ride rope bridge, we were so exhausted, we decided not to even go close.
    Hubby and I didn't say it, but I know we both were just to exhausted for another 500m walk and somehow had the feeling the bridge wouldn't carry us.
    I was so embarrassed of us and specially myself, that I had it let come that far.
    It took some month to sink in but now I am here and a good friend supports me were she can.
    Hubby is not so far mind wise, but is getting there eventually, but supports me and let me do what I need to. :flowerforyou:

    I'm going to go with either asking if I'm pregnant or some stranger shouting that I'm a fatass on Halloween when I wasn't near or facing them.

    My worst comment "You're pregnant are you having a girl or a boy"?


    I have this happen to me many times. Especially at the grocery store with the Checkout lady would be so embarrassed that I would just be like nothing happened but inside I was screaming with misery!
