What she said!!0 -
The truth is fat is ugly to these people, and they are just trying to be nice in their own clumsy way.
It's humiliating.
My back handed "compliment" from others was "you move fast for a big guy"...lol
Anyway, what people are really saying to us is "you're too fat!"
That's why we're here, so let's support each other, gather our energies and work toward our fitness goals.
You can do it!
your are so right0 -
I've heard it so much in my life. "you have a really pretty face" its such a back handed compliment. people think theyre being nice but its so annoying. i just take it with a pinch of salt. I've been called far worse0

My uncle used to say that to me all the time. Needless to say, I stopped talking to him for 2 years and he's never mentioned my weight since then.0
-
My mother and my brother used to tell me crap like that, mainly "people would want to date you if you weren't so fat". They, of course, assumed that I wanted to date anyone.0

another one that get's me is my husband tells me "You're so hot now" I'm like "WTF? I wasn't before? all I did was drop weight."
omg yes!! my partner says that aswell, he says omg i love your new body. ermmm wtf its not new :grumble:
everyone used to always say the you have such a pretty face. hmm thanks! my garn used to always pinch my cheeks and say oh i can tell your putting on weight it all goes to you face :ohwell: always seemed to be on my birthday aswell! the party pooper she is :laugh:0 -
only response needed, "thank you & you'd be really attractive too as long as you didn't talk"0

Hah. My husband accidentally dropped "When you get sexy.."another one that get's me is my husband tells me "You're so hot now" I'm like "WTF? I wasn't before? all I did was drop weight."
To which I went "WHAAAAT DO YOU MEAN WHEN!>?!??!" haha0 -
OK HERES A QUESTION FOR YOU. I STRUGGLE WITH THIS EVERY DAY. DH SAYS IT DOESNT MATTER TO HI IF I LOSE WEIGHT AND HE " DOESNT WANT ME DOING FOR HIM" MY SIL IS SUPER AGAINST IT TOO. SUGGESTIONS ?
It actually shouldn't bother you that your DH tells you that he doesn't want you doing it for him. What he needs to understand that you are doing it for you. he actually is telling you that he likes and accepts you for who you are and changing is not neccessary. however, what you need to find out is if he is going to have a problem with you changing. Sometimes a change in a woman can cause a lot of headache in a relationship. I say this because I have experiance at it. My Ex-wife weighed a lot and I accepted that. Later she decided she wanted change and got surgery done to allow her to lose it because diet and exercise wasn't working. She herself couldn't handle it because other guys started looking at her in a different way and she got upset because I am not the Jeolous type of person. I went to Iraq later and she cheated on me while there. We got our divorce and I fell that by me letting her get the surgery it is kind of my fault because other guys wouldn't have looked at her the same if she didn't have it. I believe that it is going to make changes in your relationship however, I belive that they can be positive changes as long as the doors of communication are completely open and opinions are shared.0 -
It's ridiculous because last year, at my lowest weight [at a point my doctors were having a go at me, telling me I was at an unhealthily low weight], I still got the "You'd be so gorgeous if you dropped a few pounds, you could be a model!". It's insane. I was already underweight but I still got told I needed to ''drop a few pounds'' to be considered pretty.
Thankfully those kind of comments, I only get off women. The men in my life usually tell me otherwise which leads me to believe that the women are big liars! Or so I hope, haha :P
But either way, I understand the frustration of hearing those kinds of comments.0 -
Only 1 proper response to this compliment
YOU'RE SO THOUGHTFUL, FOR AN ASSH*LE!
Haha, you made me choke on my coffee! Good one.0 -

Did either of you consider that your blokes are trying to compliment you? That they are trying to say that your hard work is paying off and they can see you getting fitter, both fit fit and phwoar fit? That if you get all spiky about it they dont understand why you are throwing their admittedly clumsy praise back at them? Just trying out another perspective.0 -
there's certainly many people out there who are completely ignorant. i never can understand why anyone opens their mouth to say something mean, when they have the choice to just keep their trap shut. but by speaking up, they simply reveal their own shortcomings and prejudice. my mil has made a comment to me before about my weight, and it didn't sit well on me, but i also know she is a bit prejudice against fat people. her loss, because she can't see beyond the exterior to see what might be a really wonderful person, and doesn't get the opportunity to know them. people and comments like that just need to be shaken off.
my husband has always told me that i'm beautiful, but since i've lost some weight, the compliments come more frequently. i like it. i don't feel insulted that he felt less that way when i was heavier... i think he's proud of me, of what i've accomplished, and a bit envious (in a good way) of what i've accomplished, and happy for me that i feel better physically and have more self-esteem.0 -

Just because I said that he said that, didn't mean I didn't say "Thanks" in return, but it struck me as a "WTF" moment. I know it was his way to compliment me. But it still pissed me off inside. My feelings matter, and I don't tell him "Since you got your teeth fix, you are so much more hotter to me." Or "Come over here and let me kiss your hot new mouth" lol. Somethings are better left unsaid.0 -
Ive been told I have a fuc%able face....THAT REALLY GOT UNDER MY SKIN!
Whoever said that sounds like a person with a very punchable face!
^^^ **like**
I don't have a pretty face, I have pretty hair.
I take it as people just trying to be nice.
Oh, but yesterday, I was at the gym and one of the regulars came up to me and told my that my calves have a nice cut. :happy:0 -
My BFF got 'You dont sweat much for a big lass'!:noway:
She was so shocked, by the time she had a reply the bloke had vanished.0 -

OK - definitely not your fault you were cheated on. Please stop telling yourself that.
Jealousy is an ugly thing and people who try to evoke that ugly thing are just as ugly in my opinion.0 -
