The rudest thing anyone said to you about your weight?

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

I wasn't.

LOL I'm not laughing at you by any means, I am laughing b/c someone just did that to me the other day. I had to laugh in order to keep from punching them in the face and crying after that

My sister was talking about having babies while we were in the dressing room trying on clothes. I was standing in front of a 360 mirror with just my bra and underwear about ready to put on a dress when she reached her arms around my waist and grabbed my lower tummy and said "Well at least I won't have to worry about maternity clothes, I'll just borrow yours!"

That specific day was my encouragement to put down the Big Mac and shove a carrot stick in my mouth instead.

17lbs later and still going strong.

My grandmother bought my sister a brand new set of nice clothes to wear after she graduated high school. She was pretty, thin and was looking forward to college. I was a size ten, and thought I was HUGE. So when I graduated, she gave me cash, which I was thankful for, but then a nice little,
"I'd get clothes for you like I did for your sister, but I wasn't sure if you are the size you want to be yet."
Glad for the cash. Keep your comments please.

When I was a teenager going through an awkward phase (meaning big boobs, and my body trying to grow into itself) I had a doctor tell me that if I had lost weight I would have a very nice body. Not the best thing for a doctor to say to a teenager.

My ex dumped me because I'm fat. You can imagine how it could break one's confidence and self esteem. It was the most painful one for me.

I am so sorry , Why'd anyone break up with a gorgeous woman like yourself!

I said this on my status earlier, but I think family generally has their filters turned off. She would never have said that to a stranger.

After spending the whole day preparing a spread of food for my Dad's birthday, I was serving myself some food. My (drunk) Dad hollered at me from across the room "You better watch what you put in your mouth!"

My jaw hung open, but I quickly countered: "You better watch what comes out of yours!"

My siblings and i spent the rest of the day making fun of him.

I have gotten from my mom" You look like Hell." She thought I guess " tough love" would wake me up even though it was painful and I have gotten from two ex boyfriends" You really are a beautiful girl and you dont have too far to go if you could just lose the weight you could be so much more." You know throughout our lives people go up and down with weight.. Seriously. It's funny though because then when I lost the weight I dissed them. I figure if you can't be with me when I have a few pounds then why should you be with me when I have lost? I am still the same person either way.

I cannot recall a time where I have had a stranger say something about my weight. All of the comments have come from my family. I went down to FL to visit my family for Thanksgiving last year and my grandmother grabbed me around the waist and said "Baby, you have gotten so fat." Really grams? I have not seen you in a year and that is the first thing out of your mouth?!:grumble:
That brought me down for a while but when we had a video chat this Christmas Eve I made it a point to let grandma know that I've lost 10 pounds. lol

My 6 year old tends to talk about my "big butt" when he sees me change clothes, etc. That stings a bit being that it's out of the mouth of babes.

It doesn't matter to me what people say anymore. The reason is I'm doing something about it and I sure let them know.

Yeah I have gotten that one too when I was at my heaviest of 204 ( I am about 5'6'' 5'7'') It is mortifying

I just remembered this one. I was with my ex at his home. It was tea time and his mom offered me tea-snacks. He suddenly told his mom, "Mom, don't give it to her. She'll become fatter!"-Ouch!It stung horribly.

Mrs_Moe

My grandfather would always sing, " She's too fat for me, she's too fat for me. I don't want her you can have her, she's too fat for me". Then he'd laugh.

Wow sounds like we were dating the same person.. That is really hitting below the belt! I hope you belted him after that. I don't think people think before they speak.:grumble:

I was at work and said I was cold and thr person stood next to me said I really had no reason to say that I feel cold given the huge amount of subcutaneous fat I have!
B*****d!

It confounds me how people can be so mean!!!

for example:


1. You have such a pretty face, you'd be able to find a husband if you lost some weight (*insert roll eyes*)

2. (this lady I met for the first time at Thanksgiving, a friend of my best friend's mother), " You know if you lost weight you'd be much more attractive"

3. My aunt who swore it was more important to be prettier than smart, because smart wouldn't help me "land" a husband. Mind you, at the time of that remark I was 25 years old working on my master's degree, and she was like 65 and been married 4 times o.O

What is with everyone's fascination with my marital status???

"Boy, you've really filled out."

I was like... "WTF?"... I didn't get it until I realized I was 212 lbs, and a size 36" waist....

Now, I'm 165 lbs, 30" waist, 9.6% body fat, and I can annihilate 100 pushups in 2 minutes. Take that!!

long time ago I was asked if I had ever tried Dexitrim weight loss pill

Christmas shopping for a friend in a smaller size store a couple years ago, the male associate came up to me and said "I don't think we have anything here that will fit you" ... needless to say I was dumbfounded but immediately complained to the manager and explained they lost out on a sale.

My aunt complemented me on some trousers I was wearing. Mum said "but look at the size of her backside in them"

I was age 15 - 5'9" and in a size 12 (8US). And as you can see 25 years on I haven't forgot it!!

I've gotten this before. Also, once I was taking a walk around my neighborhood exercising, and a couple of guys drove past & yelled out the window "Go on a f***ing diet fatso"

I used to be a CNA at a nursing home. The men in the home were so rude, and it wasn't like they didn't know what they were saying like some of the patients. One guy I took care of would say good morning fat *kitten* every time I went into his room. Another called me pregnant when ever I took care of him and another would call various farm animals-pig, cow, horse, etc. Every time I eat something that doesn't look like diet food (even if it is) my family will tell me you shouldn't eat that you need to lose weight. My whole family has weight issues and they weigh more then me! My 3 yr old niece pulls my shirt up and tells everyone to look at my fat. Now that I have lost weight my stomach is kinda gross and hangs a little bit and she also makes it a point to ask me why it hangs and tells everyone about it.

I think what hurt the most is the feeling of being invisible. Like being in a crowd and not one person acknowledging I was there.

I have been told I have "child bearing hips" by a guy. Nice huh?

I have a book of quotes. Here are some for you lol

* My ex wife used to gag when having sex. And say "get it over with", then run to the toilet and throw up afterward because fat people disgusted her.

* An ex girlfriend dumped me because she said she "deserved better than a fat guy"

* Soccer practice at the park, I'm running with my team up front, and a college girl running at the park with her friends/team points at me and says "ew look at that guy's belly"

* Running at the park I pass up a thin girl running, who is running like she doesn't know how to run. Her meathead athletic boyfriend turns around and sees I'm passing her and runs back to her and screams "You didn't just let that fat **** pass you!! You better get your *kitten* in gear!"

* Running at the park I pass a guy and his little girl running. She says "Daddy why did you let the fat man pass you?" He replies "shhh honey we don't call people fat, that's rude"

* Meeting a woman I met online, she I guess thought I was thin because I said I played soccer. I had body shots up and all but ... I guess people will thnk what they think. She walks into the indoor arena to watch my team play, sees me, and her smile disappears immediately and the face she has kind of resembles what she would look like if she saw a cockroach skitter across the floor.

We talk a bit but I can tell she's hitting the door. She ends up saying "how can you play soccer and run with a belly like that?"

She ended up emailing me a day later pissed that I "misrepresented myself" and that she has no desire to date "big men".

I have about 19 quotes in my book from this year alone. The above except the ex wife and gf were from this year alone.

The comments stopped once I dropped weight. I'm only 15 lbs overweight now and strangely enough I'm not treated as poorly now. Fancy that lol.

I was home from college for Thanksgiving and sitting at the kitchen table, my dad came up to me, poked me in the stomach and said, "Well, now I know why your bank account is so low, you've clearly been eating out too much." Thanks, pops! :frown:

Also, I was invited at the last minute to go to the Athletic Formal in college, like an hour before, so I was going to borrow a friend's dress, my boyfriend so kindly said, "I doubt she'll even have anything that fits you." He later claimed it was because she was quite a bit bigger than me in the chest so he didn't think that it would fit because of that. Either way, eff you, dude. :grumble:
