What was your worst "fat" moment?

There are many, but the worst was probably when a friend thought I was poking fun at his very thin girlfriend and said to her "Don't worry, 2-3 of you could easily fit inside of her."
The first time an ex-boyfriend called me fat was a year after having our baby, which we had placed up for adoption, he said "I'm not as attracted to you, you're not thin anymore." That was a rough one.
My bandmate saying "You shouldn't buy those cookie.....s" on tour..
I was 22 when I had a baby and have since been battling my weight. I'm about 20 pound heavier now than I was post baby, I am the heaviest I have ever been in my life.That the roughest part for me. And while I'm an adult and less shallow than ever-- I still remember all those hurtful comments and relive the terrible feeling they gave me, by knowing I'm even heavier now.0 -
On a flight to NYC and a steward shouted down the plane that he needed a seat belt extension and pointed at me.
I was mortified. That was my turning point!!!!0 -
My fat moment was the exact same. If another person ask me if im pregnant I cant be responsible for my answer.0

My worst moment was when I realized I turned into a fat Soldier. I had my son then 6 months later my husband and I both deployed. I knew I was out of shape and overweight but I just never thought about it. It wasnt until I was in the gym one day and a Marine walked by and called me a fat Army b!tch... Yeah working my hardest right now not to be the fat Soldier anymore.0

Oh man there are so many... Most memorable are probably these:
1) I was bullied at school for 5 years for being fat (including being thrown down flights of stairs, punched repeatedly in the stomach, as well as psychological bullying. This was age 7-12). One time my bullies told me we were friends again and would I like to play tag with them (we were about 9 years old). I was so happy it had finally ended and agreed. We started playing, and I was tagged. I started to run after them and they all started screaming "QUICK HELP US! FATTY'S TRYING TO SIT ON US!" I was mortified and spent the rest of my junior school break times in the library.
2) Around the same time, in maths class we had to be weighed and stand in class order of weight. Obviously I had to stand at the end of the line and the teacher made a "funny joke" about a girl being the fattest and announced to the class my exact weight.
3) Also around this time, being "punished" by a teacher (who knew I was being bullied because of my weight) for not handing my work in on time - by making me stand in the playground at lunch time in my swimsuit so everyone could see me.
4) Everytime I have ever gone into the kitchen (even for a glass of water) and my dad has said "Oh for goodness sake, what are you eating NOW?" (This still happens.)
5) Every time a kid has ever asked if I have a baby in my tummy. (I'm a trainee teacher.)
6) When I went to Africa this summer and a guy came up to me and said "I hope one day I have a girlfriend who is nice and fat like you." (He meant it as a compliment. I didn't take it as one.)
7) Every time anyone has ever said "You're vegan? But aren't vegans skinny?"
Even when I lost weight before (got down to 147lbs from 231lbs) and a guy said to me "Wow, you look great! Cos, lets be honest, you were f**king fat before."
Sigh, so many others but I won't keep ranting lol.0 -
There were these boys outside of the bar where I was with friends.
They were laughing together. One of them said "there are only pretty girls in these bar" and I left for a call.
Then he laughed loudly and said "no not that one, always an exception."
I did not react and pretends not to hear but I was vexed and ashamed...
In my head, I was not that fat but later when I looked at the pictures of that night I realized I was huge between my friends..
At this time (around january 2010), I started dieting and lose 17 pounds.
In January 2011, I had a miscarriage while I was 3 month pregnant, I was so depressed and I gained 8 pound back.
So here I am pregnant again, 55 days on MFP and I already had lose almost 6 pounds !0 -
I don't have a "worst" fat moment, but, one thing that made me snap and fully commit to losing weight was being dumped by every guy I've dated because of my weight. I been overweight since I was 8 years old, and ever since, I been told that I'm fat and ugly. Guys told me that guys don't date fat girls, they just **** them. I started changing my life as a middle finger to all those b**tards who said that to me.0

seeing a picture of me my dad took, it always does it. Look so much worse than I think .

My fat moments are when I go shopping with my friend who is skinny (she wears a size small) and we go into all the stores that clearly do not carry my size, so I look like a tool while she's in the waiting room and I'm standing in the store waiting for her while the other skinny girls are rummaging around through the racks and they look at me like I'm a tool because I'm the only fat chick in the store.0

Awwwww....great minds think alike :-) I thought I was the only one who came to this conclusion!0 -
You look absolutely fantastic. Congratulations on doing so well, slowly and carefully.
I don't know about worst fat moment, but I hate seeing photos of myself when I'm overweight. Ugh0 -

These teachers were despicable towards you and have earned my utmost contempt!0 -
A few years ago in Turkey I was queuing for a go on the water slide. When I reach the top the guy supervising told me it wasn't suitable for pregnant women. Anyway, 4 years later I've got round to going on a diet. 2stone and 2.5lb down so far since July. Finally a "normal" bmi, however happy to lose maybe at least another stone. HOORAY! x0

When the scale said 199. 200 was my NO WAY I am going past that number weight, and 199 was way too close.0

Aagh! When I went to ride the ferris wheel with my son and they couldn't connect the waist bar! Humiliating! Thankfully, that was MANY, MANY years ago but I have never forgotten that feeling.0

I never had a fat moment. I knew things were going wrong as I inched dangerously close to the "fat ladies' clothing" sizes. I couldn't fit into things at the Forever 21 type stores any more. I didn't like having to dress to hide myself instead of wearing whatever I felt like wearing.0

This is an easy one for me... and it's from a long time ago. I was sitting with my roommate and a mutual female friend. I had my shirt off and was drinking a beer, and she said my gut looked looked like Homer Simpson.0

Waited forever to go on a roller coaster...when I finally got into the seat the shoulders bars wouldn't click into the buckle. Got denied. Total FAIL!0

when my boyfriend of many years told me he didn't find me attractive anymore because I had let myself go... at the time I weighed less than I currently do.. at that point I thought well if this guy who has supposedly loved me for years thinks I'm disgusting who is going to want me.. and I hid away for a while.. gained 20 more lbs.. than I came to my senses and was like.. oh wait.. he's an idiot and I'm awesome..and here I am..losing weight. For me.
This happened to me as well. My husband told me I was boring (sexually) because I was so fat. I lost a whopping 5 stone and as soon as I lost it he started showing interest again so I filed for divorce. I could never get past that remark, he broke my heart.0 -
Two that stick out the most.....
-Amusement park ride... with my kids about 2yrs ago. I was like the last one to be strapped in with this metal overhead thingy that comes down over your chest and locks in between your legs. Well the ride was full and mine wouldnt lock , the ride attendant tried to push it shut and couldnt so he brought another attendant and they both tried pushing it down for what seemed like forever while everyone im sure was watching idk cause i couldn't get myself to look up at anyone. Finally, I said it was okay I will get off... lucky for me I have wonderful kids and they got off with me... I felt bad but I probably would have felt worse if I had to wait for them to get off and everyone that got to stay on the ride walked by me... anyway I laugh at that now but wanted to cry at the time..
-Department of Motor Vehicles!!!! I hate your pics!!!! This was my last straw when I had to renew my license in May of this year and when I got it in the mail I discovered I had no neck!!! LOL Face and body thats it.... so in a way I guess I would have to thank the DMV.
I started my jorney in July of this year and I aint looking back.

Having my then-wife tell me she didn't sign up to be married to a fat loser. She then left me for one of my friends on christmas day 2003.
Having a gf tell me she deserved better than being with someone who was fat (incidently she was about 20 lbs overweight, and I was 30 lbs overweight). The timing? My 30th birthday, 2007.
Seeing pictures of me playing soccer at 245 lbs and wondering if I didn't really look like a pregnant woman.
Being told repeatedly that I'm a nice guy, but too big to be worth anything date-wise.
The ultimate... a few months after my divorce not being able to stand up because my blood sugar count was 512.
Hot dang you had it rough. *sends hugs*0 -
I tried to go on one my most favorite rides called the freakout, and the guy couldn't click the front part that was over my chest to the seat. Everyone looked at me, all those skinny blonde kids, and I ended up getting off before it started and I was devistated.

Thanks to everyone for having the courage to share your stories. At one time, I wouldn't have had that courage, but here I am after 15 months and over 100 pounds down no where near as embarrassed as I once was, so here goes...
I've had a weight problem my whole life. I wore a pants uniform in grade school and because my thighs rubbed together, the pants got so thin there and eventually split open. I was too embarrassed to tell my mom, so I kept wearing the pants. In high school, I remember two girls who were horrible bullies because of my weight saying the most cruel and hurtful things (and I went to a parochial school).
Like others who shared, I had the pregnant question; mine was having a nurse tell me I couldn't get a flu shot because I was pregnant (I wasn't)
The second time I had to get a seatbelt extender, I surreptitiously slipped it into my bag so that I would never have to ask for one again (then hoped I could get it on the plane and out and on without a flight attendant noticing that I had my own).
Sadly, none of those moments (and many others) got me motivated enough to get fit. It was when the scale hit 291 a year ago May that I made the conscious decision to get fit before I hit 300. I'm currently at 168 and ran in my first 5K today!0 -
Mine are pretty simple: a size 18 denim skirt being tight and being a female in her 20's over 200lbs....both are / were totally unacceptable to me.
I started exercising that day and found mfp a few months later. I'm not sure of my exact size now as I'm in the process of shedding the last 10 to 15lbs but a few weeks ago I tried on a size 6 demin skirt and it fit Probably still too snug but that's why I have 10 or 15 more pounds to go 0 -
As the youngest, and only girl- always called "fatty" and otherwise tormented by my VERY thin middle brother. Even though my oldest bro is built like me, I saw him in July after he started running marathons- and realized that I'm bigger than BOTH of my bros now. arg.
(Thin) Mom repeatedly talking to me as a teenager about my weight (against my Dad's wishes) and specifically telling me that I couldn't wear a bikini- because "no one wants to see a fat belly". I realize now that she's right- but really? Wasn't there a nicer way to say it?
Pictures.
Being asked if I was preggers- and me trying to blame it on the shirt.
Turning 30- getting on the scale- and being totally surprised by how big I had let myself get. It was the first time I cried over my weight.0 -
Knowing this is not the first time I have felt like this... xx0

My fat moment is the fact that 2 years after giving birth, the only clothing that fits me at least half-way right are my MATERNITY CLOTHES!!!!:noway: :grumble: :explode:
(((sigh)))...but I'm working on it... 0 -
1. Being to fat to do simulated sky diving
2. Being too fat to go horseback riding on the beach on my anniversary and then having to explain to my husband why I couldn't go, then he stayed back with me.
3. Being to fat to jump on the trampolines on pier 39 when just 2 years prior I was thin and mastered them!
4.Having kids in the grocery store say out loud mommy, look how big she is, and then seeing the mom quickly walk away . . that sucked
5.an ex boyfriend who asked if i would not mention that we still sleep together because he was embarrassed and was telling his friends that he was hooking up with someone beautiful, which i was not (actually his exact words)
6.Having to always ask where the plus size section in the store was, and then the employee telling em they don't have one
7.military ball, 'nuff said
8. my husbands ex-wife of years asking him what he sees in me?
9. all my doctor appointments ending in "do you know what you are at risk of being overweight?"
10. sex, I did it with lights off and clothing covering me as much as possible for years after my ex left me, my husband did not see my butt for over a year!0 -
I'm new here, I've been trying to get in shape. lost a stone then put it back on again. Because i had a hard time and turned to foods to comfort me. I know it's a real shame. Now I need motivation to start it again though:((0
