    My ex-wife-- "Your waste is to small", "No man's waste should be smaller than his wife's" "Oh you think you are so hot!!"

    My ex-Bro-in-Law-- (While I was eating a Quest bar), "Is that like the first thing you ate, since the last time I saw you?"

    My sister -- "You have lost a lot of weight, your shoulders aren't as broad"

    A stranger say "that girl is fat like a pig" there goes my vacation, I didn't want to go anywhere the whole time. I was so afraid someone would say that again. >.<

    When I was in 6th grade my teacher said something about my viola being bigger than the normal size and someone said "like her?"

    :(

    One time, during a pedicure, my nail tech asked me how far along I was and I was definitely not pregnant. It made for an awkwardly silent pedi, after that.

    All my favourite things have come after the weight was shed:

    "She was really fat before! Now look how beautiful she is!"
    "I knew her when she was morbidly obese!!"

    And so on. Really backhanded "you were a cow and we like you better now" comments. Thankfully none of them came from people whose words would actually affect me on a long-term basis.

    "you look like a giant Easter egg in a shop window"
    "humpty dumpty"
    "king kong Bundy" (pro wrestling reference)
    "kill yourself you f***ng fatass"
    "you look like you don't have long to live" (a doctor)

    but really, none of these are as horrifying as what the voice in my head is telling me.

    "If you're a vegetarian how come you're so fat?" - a friend a few years ago :noway:

    When I was in junior school (about 10/11 years old) some boys in my class took to calling me 'boulder-[female dog]'. Yes, junior school. :frown:

    This doesn't sound rude initially, but when I was new at uni I went to a party and was mistaken for a girl I knew by multiple people throughout the evening (she was dating someone on their course so they wanted to put a face to a name). We had no similarities other than we were white and obese - we were on different courses, different hair colour, mine's curly hers is straight, different eye colour, different clothes styles, different personality types - this meant the only description (or the most memorable one) that had been given about her was that she was obese, so they assumed I was the obese girl in question. This one got to me the most as the people involved hadn't meant to be rude (they didn't actually say they thought it because of my size), but obviously all they saw when they met me was a fat girl.

    (Edited to add a description as something I didn't realise was considered a swearword was asterisked.)

    Not sure which one to choose ... but my mother had a multitude of nicknames for me:
    Fat lump, clumsy elephant, (enjoying your food 'fatty'? ) , Greedy, fat cow, pig, greedy pig..
    'you're too fat to wear jeans'
    'I think you should wear something more flattering'
    ' I think your face looks better when you're fat'
    'you'll never be thin like your sister, so stop trying'
    ' you're just meant to be fat, your dad is built big, her dad is skinny, it's in your genes'

    My mum is a lovely lady. Oh and hey I got skinny and now she's all sorts of jelly :D

    When I was young and in school, someone signed my year book "Don't break the scale." I wish I had saved that book now.

    No one ever has because they didn't want to be throat punched.

    I'm an intimidating force.

    Years ago my Mother in law said to me, "Here honey you can have these panty hose I Don't need anymore. They'll fit you because what I take up in height, you'll take up in width." Lol, Its a good thing I love her.

    My husband's grandfather made a rude comment to me at a family get together. We were all having dinner and I'd had a small portion of food and they were like, "Have more! Have more!" So I went in for seconds and he goes, "You eat a lot, no wonder you're so big!".

    Annnnnd that started a ****storm between him and my husband and we left.

    I used to have a very tactless neighbour. I had put on about 20 lbs and she saw me one day in the laundry room and said, "Wow, you've really gained some weight! Turn around, let me see." Yeah...she actually wanted me to spin around as if my newly-acquired fat was a new outfit.

    The worst part? She was quite the porker herself.

    Two months ago, I was explaining to a few coworkers how I had somehow injured my knee while simply taking an adventure walk with my son. Our team leader rolled her eyes and said, "It's called 'exercise'."

    Well, exercise was the purpose of the adventure walk.

    She may not have intended to be insulting, but her comment and attitude really bothered me . . . and motivated me. Since then, I've found an exercise that doesn't bother my knee. I've logged over 427,000 meters on a Concept 2 model D rower, joined MFP, and I've lost 11 pounds so far. I expect to hit my goal weight in about four more months, and I'd like to wear a T-Shirt with "It's called exercise" printed on it the next time we have a meeting.

    A few weeks ago my husband referred to me as a "FAT A**"

    Words definitely hurt.
