Got told by my Mother it made her want to cry cos I had gotten so fat (Was 158 at my heaviest and whilst it was probably a shock to her that I had gained so much during University it was still innappropriate).
Also, now I've lost 32lbs, my Mum keeps saying how pretty I am now (as if I was awful before) and keeps discussing my weight which I tend to get annoyed about.
I remember getting told I was too big to wear certain clothes and I looked stuffed into them, as well as my dad calling my chubby and chunky when I was little.
It also annoys me now because I hear my Mum saying to my 18 y/o sister who is 7 and half stone that she put on some weight a while ago and started looking chubby so shes glad she lost the weight again. I think its ridiculous, I find it quite frustrating that she discusses my weight, as it would be rude of me to talk about hers. (Shes 9 and half stone and always has been but now I'm thinner than her and she keeps telling me to keep losing weight. :S )0 -
I used to weigh 230 when I topped out. By natural means (that is, without diet pills or surgery or anything of the like), I've lost weight. A few months ago (I think I weighed around 170 still at the time), an EX-friend of mine insulted me beyond belief. This woman used to weigh about 330 pounds. She refused to stop eating. To this day, she sits on the couch all day and eats chocolate cake. However, she went and got cosmetic surgery. Several in fact. They stapled her stomach, gave her two lipos I think it was, a breast lift, a face lift, an arm tuck, tummy tuck, something with her legs. I'm not sure what all it was. Then she comes up to me and tells ME that I'm fat and I need to learn to get off my butt and do something about it rather than sit there and disgrace the world with my fatness. It's the hypocrisy that angered me more than the insult, I think.One of my patients asked me when I was going to lose my big belly after I had my first child. I guess she didn't take into consideration that my child weighed 9.1lbs and stretched the hell out of me.
Another one asked when my baby was due AFTER I already had him. That one weighed 10.7 lbs. Some people are just stupid. What else can I say?
My doctor when I was pregnant kept telling me how obese I was and that "That can't all be baby" the entire time, kept threatening me like I was some horrible monster out to kill my baby through fatness before she was born. Turns out she was 11 pounds 7 ounces at birth (not fat, just really really large) and the "fat" disappeared quickly. The only thing that kept me through that was rubbing it in the next time I saw the doctor who had nothing more to say on it.0 -
When I was near my highest weight:
from grandma, "I never thought we'd see our skinny little Mara with some heft to her."
from grandpa "Are you in a family way?" (I wasn't.)
Now that I'm back down to a healthy weight:
From hubby: "That big stomach you had wrecked your figure." (He added that I looked good now.)
From co-workers: "You're getting too thin", "Don't lose anymore!", "Your face is too thin", "You look like a little boy."0 -
On our tenth wedding anniversary - on holiday in Greece - my ex husband told me that I was the fat ***** that was making his life hell!

My wife told me I was disgusting when I was naked recently. (I can't believe I just shared that but there it is lol).
Wow, dude...that's just freaking toxic and abusive, imo. If you were a woman who's husband said that to her, I'm sure there would be plenty of people advising you to seperate or at least get into some serious counselling asap.
IMO, what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
If my man *Ever* said anything like that to me, I'd have to take a page from Tarantino's book and say "No marriage counselling, no trial separation - straight to ****in' divorce. "
Thank you. Add to that the fact that it was the day of my mom's funeral, we were staying in a hotel and I had just come out of the shower in the morning. Yes, this speaks volumes about our marriage. Still have never got over it, but I don't have the ba--s to leave (yet).

OK, I HAVE to share the wonderful comment my mother made while visiting for the holiday. She was looking at me in the kitchen in one of my new sweaters and said "Nici, your bust is finally starting to look good again!" WTF is wrong with her?! I KNOW she says stuff like this all the time, but that was just plain not nice. I told my brother about it and he said it was a left hand compliment. In other words a compliment laced with a criticism. ARGH, I held my tongue as she'd just told us she has breast cancer, but MAN DID I WANT TO GO OFF ON HER!!!!!0

It's much more fun to turn it around on people. "How long have you been watching my bust?"OK, I HAVE to share the wonderful comment my mother made while visiting for the holiday.

Or be crazy about it. "If you think this looks great, you should see me topless!!"0 -
I was 14 and my volleyball coach handed me a size xs uniform. I asked for a medium, and she told me to lose weight. I was normal weight for a kid that tall for my build. what a b.0

I lost 40 lbs over 6 months and plateau hit. I saw my family doctor who checked my height and weight. He looked at his little chart and said, "you're obese!"
I'm 5' 7" and 170lbs at the time. I was running 5 miles a day and lifting weights for an hour a day. What I wanted was a nutritionist referral. What I got was a total reversal of my progress.
Aren't doctors oh-so-helpful sometimes? I told mine to look away from the screen, divorce his mind from the unhelpful chart, and actually look at ME once, after a similar comment. It got results, and it felt great. By any chart's standards I'll be doing damn well to get into 'overweight' rather than 'obese' classification bands. 'Healthy' wouldn't be too healthy on me - skin, bones and not much more. Slightly off-topic, but I do wish more doctors would look at the patient instead of the little boxes on their screens.0 -

You deserve better! No one should ever hear that from their spouse or SO, and definitely not under those circumstances!0 -

That whole love in sickness and in health, love in the good times and bad or whatever the vows are apparently doesn't even go skin deep..0 -
oh and my friend who lost weight wanted to donate her fat clothes to me when I gained weight!! lol...now I wear a size 8 (US 6) and she wears a size 12 booooYA!
My friend who pulled that? I don't care if she's now fat or thin, I don't have her fat pants and she doesn't have me as a friend.0 -
Since I was asked, I have to say that: NO my grandfather did not say anything about my weight this Thanksgiving. He didn't say anything to me all day as a matter of fact. Ah well, his loss. You can't fix the jerks of the world, but you can sure show them up!!0

Sophomore year of high school my gym teacher told me and another girl that we were going to die of heart attacks if we didn't do something about our weight.
In 8th grade a substitue gym teacher Moo'ed like a cow at me and two of my friends whenever one of us were up to the plate during kickball.
Last year (I am 32 now, BTW) I was having terrible pain in my knee and went to see a specialist. He walked in, didn't even touch my knee, told me I was overweight. He then asked if I had ever even tried to lose weight, and had I ever thought of having gastric bypass. I told him that I had lost 150 pounds a few years before that. He told me to do it again. When I told him at the time I was walking 3 miles a day, 30 minutes of cardio, etc. and how could I do that with this knee pain? He told me there was nothing he could do for me, I needed to lose weight, and that no knee surgeon would touch me to do a surgery unless I lost weight.0 -
My ex would often ask me if there was enough room in the tub when I would take a bath. He would also ask me if I made sure to get clean everywhere because he knows fat people have a hard time staying clean!
Notice that he is an ex!0 -
these stories made me really sad
When i studied abroad in high school, my host family said i was too skinny and forced me to gain weight. When I gained weight they followed me around calling me fat.
Of course, these same people asked me (15), "Why do you have acne? Get rid of it!" and they "adopted" (got rid of her now) a little girl, and would have her call me ugly when I went up and down the stairs...:(
Ive mainly gotten insults about my face though...which is partially why I am losing...I hope it makes my face better...I remember when I was 11 or 12 at a friends going-away party, we were going swimming. One of my friends (ex now) said, "Your body is really nice. It's a shame about your face though. If only we could cut off your head and replace it with someone else's."
^^ there is a lot more, but mainly just concerning my head (hair, skin, teeth, nose, face shape)0 -
Usually nothing nearly as bad as the stuff I used to tell myself.0

I don't get that at all. You look quite lovely in your profile picture. I guess some people aren't happy unless they have a 'mean on.'
