    Oh Oh I have another one!

    When I visit Taiwan, my grandmother always says:

    Lulu, how come you're not married? Is it because you're a little fat and boys don't like fatties?'

    I always get the thinner face thing. Then they always ask,"Did you change what you eat and workout?". Well, duh, I didn't accidentally lose 25lbs. And this is a great thread, I don't know how some of you haven't actually punched/slapped these people.

    My boss:
    "Oh, you lost weight? I never thought of you as that fat in the first place."

    "I like bigger girls." Said to me by drunk customer one night at work. He was trying to hit on me, but failed miserably. I had put on a considerable amount of weight from bartending. :/

    Orrrrrrrrrrr...You are so sexy I like thick girls. I will always have an *kitten* and t*ts but is there a need to call me thick...if I never hear that word again even talking about milkshakes I will be :-)

    I hate the 'You would look amazing if you put a little make-up on"

    If you mean breakouts, then sure!!

    Oh, and when I was at my heaviest it was the ever popular 'You have a really pretty face'. In the silence that followed I could always hear the echo, 'but you have a HUGE *kitten*.'. Brilliant...

    lol this. I've gotten this all throughout my life. In highschool I had a teacher say it in front of class.

    I hate when I talk about my weight, and losing weight with people and they go "Oh no you're fine just the way you are!" Really? 40% body fat is fine huh?

    "Wow, you've lost a lot of weight! You must be starving yourself...'

    I HEAR this all the time!!! Just reading these makes me remember moments I have had to deal with like the jealous girls at work make it a point to talk past my desk at lunch and say are you eating today...(or my family...you arent starving yourself are you)....Just the other day a family friend saw me eat pizza and said you are purging are you...HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Clearly if I was STARVING I wouldnt be dieting or working out! Idiots.

    i feel you too girl...A mix between (curves are hott) ( I love thick girls) and (you have such a pretty face) people make you so tied between dieting and cheating and making yourself CRAZY.

    Yesterday I had my husband take my before pictures for my 30 day shred. I looked at them and said, "Perfect, they look terrible!" He replied, "Yah they do." LOL! I kinda asked for it.

    I just now had a co-worker say "you are such an inspiration for me."

    This wasn't backhanded. But it made me smile. And I wanted to share. :)
