What is the rudest thing someone has ever said about your we

Man, these are depressing. I guess since everyone else can laugh and post their insults, I can do the same.
Incident 1: Dad: "You're looking less Peter Griffinish these days" -referring to my double chin-
Incident 2: I bet if you lost 15 pounds, guys would break down the door to get to you. Don't get me wrong, you're pretty.. but you're just so.. so damn big. There's so much of you! (Said to me between the ages of 15-24)
Incident 3: You've gotten rid of your double chin.. well there's still some more left that you need to work on but it's not nearly as much as it was before.
Incident 4: -Said to me JUST last night- Dad: *Stares at her* You need to work more on this *pats her belly* before the rest of this *points to legs* get any smaller. You're big in the belly, but your legs are small.
Um...is Dad skinny?
He's between the weight of 185-195... I don't call that skinny per se, but I'm not sure just where that fits.. He has a pot belly is all I know.
LOL! Irony.0 -
A lady doing a pay internship under my supervision, humiliated me infront of my co-workers. She said that I have boxer's arms, and that she would not go out anywhere with me because I was too fat. I went home, got severly depressed, but the next day I fired her for being so disrespectful to my persona.0

Wow.
There seems to be a lot of "daddy issues" here. I only noticed those because that's where mine came from.
Funny thing is though when my dad made a comment about my weight I was 17, 5'6 and 125 lbs on a "bad" day.
He seriously looked me up and down, then looked me in the eyes and said "you're getting fat and you're going to look like your aunt (his sister - 400+ lbs) if you don't watch out".
Seriously, dad? I'm fat and I'm 5'6 and 125 lbs?!?! I told him to "f*&k off" and hardly ever speak to him outside the cursery "hi, how are ya? bye" still to this day.
I didn't get big until about 5 years later after I'd had my first child. Things just went downhill (up on the scale, though) from there.
Now he's not even a factor in my weight loss motivation.0 -

Verymuchso, Yes. I usually call him out on his stomach, but he gets all defensive and yells 'That's not fat!!" and then struggles to suck in his gut so to appear slimmer... but you can only hold your breath for so long, old man. ;D0 -
Once in the 8th grade (super awesome time for self-esteem) my dad told me I needed to start walking around the property more because I was getting a "NBA rear end" (read: basketball butt). Nevermind that I have been "gifted" with both the fat girl gene and the food addiction gene, and a mother who embodies both of those. By the next year I had a full blown ED, the first of many to come.0

Oh yeah, and wrestling one night with my then-boyfriend (a trainer, the last of THOSE that I will ever date) - he pins my legs up and says "Are those stretchmarks?". Speechless. I was 140 lbs at the time (I'm 5'9").0

I went to my mom's church (the church I grew up in) a few months ago and one of the elders of the church (who happened to be my old Sunday school teacher) asked if I was having a boy or a girl and put her hand on my stomach..
I know she didn't know and meant well, but it was disheartening.
I was humiliated but laughed it off. Secretly I wanted to cry though.0 -
Mine usually came from my grandfather who is not a small guy himself...
---As I am coming back from the restroom at a movie theater--"Holy Sh** I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ELEPHANT COMING AFTER ME!!" I was 12..
---EVERYTIME he hugs me--"Now turn around and let me get the other side!"
My husbands grandmother is also very good with the soul stabbing comments..."I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW SHE IS STILL TEACHING SCHOOL AS FAT AS SHE IS..HOW DOES SHE MOVE AROUND?" She is hard of hearing so this was said very loud and repeated twice so that she was sure it was heard...
Another time she stated to me and my husband, "Yall take up the whole front of the van..." I said, "Yeah, we are pretty tall.." She says, "AND WIDE! You two are gonna have some fat kids!"0 -
I was 12 and my mom was fitting me for dress she was sewing. She saw stretch marks on my breasts and said I had them because I was so damn fat. I was 5'3.5" same height I am now and weighed 120 lbs. I wore a "C" cup by 5th grade so no wonder I had stretch marks.That still makes me cry. My mom and I are not best friends.
I can relate to this one a bit (not the mom part - I had a great mom), but when I was in 5th grade they marched all of the kids thru the nurses office to me weighed. Most of the 5th graders weighed in the 70s. The nurse made a huge deal about moving the weigh bar to 100 on the scale and said very loudly to the person writing down the weights "WOW, she's 105" all of the kids laughed and called me fatty from that day on. I was 5'6". How on earth is 105 lbs FAT for 5'6"? That's when the emotional eating kicked in and it became a self-fulfilling prophesy.
Oh my god - this happened to me too. They actually made me on the scale twice because one of the nurses said "she can't possibly be THAT fat"......in front of all the girls in my class.0 -
I have a sister that is 18 months older then me and 2" taller. She has never worried about gaining weight or had issues loosing "baby weight". When we were children, our birth mother used to refer to her as her skinny daughter. She would refer to me as the fat one. Several times birth mom would take food portions off my plate and feed the dog saying my fatness was embarrassing to her. When I was in the 9th grade, I went from 5', 120# to 5'5", 110#. I have heard that birth mom is 5'5" and almost 300#. How's that for karma?!?!0

Hmm... One day I came home from school and I started washing dishes.. My dad comes home from work and sits and stares at me.. He chuckled then he said .." They gonna have to make a special made casket for you when you die... Gonna have to lift you out the house with a crane...." Forreal Pops.. You say that to your little girl? I'm 25 and STILL can't let it go..0

I was worried the last word was "weiner" in the truncated subject title and had already started tearing up before reading the responses.0

My teacher has said to my face:
"your thighs and butt are getting bigger/you need to lose weight in your legs and butt."
"you look like a fat cow."
Has anyone ever been insulted like this...this is why I began dieting.
Not and maintained the ability to chew solid foods. The biggest insult I could have would to be called skinny.0 -

People have been unkind to yours? That's sad.0 -
People always tell me, you WOULD be so pretty/beautiful if you could just get your weight under control
that always hurts but I know what they mean, my face is pretty and personality so i never say anything
Once I dated a guy who flat out said "you are lucky I asked you out because I don't like fat girls but there was something about you that was different"
oh yeah, real lucky there, lol0 -

I know how you feel, I always react that way except if they're rude, then I say: i'm just fat!0 -
When I was in middle school I went to an all girl school. The school uniform was a gray skirt and a white Shirt. I liked to run and move around so I opted for a wide skirt instead of the stylish pencil.
I walked in to art class a few min late with a water bottle in my side pocket and something else big in the other. She mocked me in front of the whole class saying " class look at this sight; she is already large, wears a big skirt and has a bottle in her pocket, how fat are you trying to be? is this how you want to look, it's terrible" At that time I was bigger than others, but not fat.
Anyway after graduating and leaving I returned to say hello to my old teacher, the ones who inspired me. I went to see her and she was huge and I mean bigger than I was at my largest. I asked her if she remembered me she said no. I left it at that, but isn't that ironic she was mocking us kids just for not dressing stylishly and looking like we were fat, then she became very fat.0 -
My mother constantly reminded me my entire life I was built like my father's larger and heavier side of the family instead of her thin petite side of the family and I needed to watch what went into my mouth. Yep I always was made to feel guilty bout what I ate:(0

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).0
-
Ahhhh I forgot one. I was teaching Sunday school years ago and one of the little girls in my class was just the sweetest, snuggliest little things...adorable as can be...and she always wanted to be held or sit on your lap. One Sunday she asked me why I didn't have a lap. I just went on with the lesson and cried for hours when I got home!0

I'd kind of like to smack her for you if you don't mind!!!0 -
wow I am sure it was meant to be constructive criticism. When I asked my husband to help me loose weight some time ago, he started doing that stuff too. I sat with him to understand where it was coming from, he said he was trying to motivate me to loose weight. I explained to him that it just hurt my feelings and to please not talk to me like that any more. It really was all he knew.
See if you can benefit from my experience..

I'm not sure if you were responding to what I posted about my wife. But if so I can assure you, she meant that the way it came out. No constructiveness there what-so-ever....no trying to motivate me or whatever. Lots of pain surrounding this issue as you might imagine.0 -
You are my hero!!A few weeks ago I was at a bar and some rude, drunk Army guy was making comments while I was talking to a friend. Specifically, he said "Your fat *kitten* is blocking the exit. You're a fat f*ckin fire hazard, Shamu."
Needless to say, he was singing a different tune when I introduced my mug of beer into his crotch with more force than I've ever manage to muster before or after that situation while he was in the fetal position on the floor.
Mine too!0 -
I once had a guy tell me that I would never be gorgeous because I was just too fat.
My Dad used to call me a f*** fat *kitten* whenever he was angry at me.
My ex used to tell me that he would never love me because I'm too fat. Or that i would never be good enough for him because I was too fat and ugly and that I was disgusting.
Sadly, I am not over any of those and I don't know if I ever will be. They hurt more than I can describe. I still cry about them at times.0 -
My friend, used to be my best friend, known him for 27 or 28 years came to help me do some yardwork.
I was grateful he came over cause I needed the help, but the whole time he kept making rude little comments.
The one that was the final straw we were filling this trash can with leaves and it was getting full. He says why don't you jump in and with your weight should be able to smash those leaves down real good and give it more room.
I had put up with his comments before because he was the sarcastic jack*kitten* friend but I was done.0 -
when my momma said I looked like a baby elephant lol
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!0 -
I cannot remember any direct quotes, but I have been insulted for my size my whole life. I was always the chubby kid in elementary school and we didn't have money to buy name brand clothes, so I was the poor chubby kid wearing kmart clothes. It was hurtful, but in the end it made me stronger. I am still overweight but taking the steps to fix that, and one thing that I have that the people that always picked on me dont have is a happy marriage and a beautiful family.0
