Whats your least favorite thing someone has said to you abou

NikitaC2

Said to me while dishing up at a BBQ by my EX-bf in 2007/2008:
"Are you sure you wanna be eating that? You can't really afford to and summer is coming up"

At the time we were dating for about 2 weeks... Needless to say, it ended very, very shortly after that (2 or 3 days).
Kept making comments about my weight and telling me "I'm telling you this for your own sake cos I'd think you wanna look good for summer."

Oh pahleez! #GoodbyeAsshole!

Way to go!!! You didn't need him or his negativity.

"you'll never be any better than the rest of us. You'll be fat forever. If you really wanna exercise change it up and stop laying on your back." my sister who is 2 years older, 100 pounds heavier, and lives a worse lifestyle than the rest of my family lives.

Oh ow, especially that last bit. She needs to take those green-tinted glasses off her eyes and see you're not doing it to be better than her or anyone. Though really with a comment like that she kind of just already disproved herself. Sometimes family can really be the worst ones.

Someone told me that since I was post 40, that I better not lose weight too fast because I'll look all wrinkled and saggy.

they were obviously wrong

My ex-husband told me one day, "you are too fat to be seen in public and quit using your medication as an excuse for your fatness". Yea, he is most def and EX! My daughter showed me a pic of her dad from a few months ago...GUESS WHAT.....he is REALLY FAT and looks like a 60 year old man and he is only 45.

"Oh, I went through a exercise phase when I was your age too, but it never lasts."

"Hmm. Well I can see it didn't for you , lady!" I really don't understand people that think they can just say anything they want to people.

Sure didn't. It was my mother who said it, who ended up having a gastric bypass and still struggles with weight issues. It's more eating habits than exercise.
"It's just so cute that you eat so many vegetables." Also her :grumble:

Besides being called fatty, fat stuff, fat cakes, fat butt, etc. as a kid by friends and family and having my first bf mock me? Eh. Why drag this all up? People who have to say stuff like that have issues.

Strangely enough the worst things I hear are from my "non thin" friends who have watched me change my life/weight/eating habits/exercise etc. They have ALL asked for my advice, even so far as having me write out my meal plans and workout routines for them to only do NOTHING at all with it!! Thanks for wasting MY time!!
But, the thing that sticks in my mind the most....... which I found pretty hurtful really was said by a friend who asked for my help/advice and then did nothing with it...... I saw her at a funeral for a mutual friend recently.... I tried to approach her 3 times to say hello and give her a hug and each time she directly walked away! I was confused by this....so on approach attempt #4, I snuck up on her and asked her what the bleep was the matter?

She said "I don't want to stand next to you, you make me look terrible!"

Now I know this SHOULD be taken as complimentary right? Well, it didnt' feel that way..... it hurt me to hear my success and hard work created those feelings in her toward me .............

"if you loose any more weight they'll be nothing left to you!" Uummm yeah I am on the border of overweight and normal..i think I can stand to loose 20 more pounds lol

Troll

"wow, keep doing what you"re doing. If you get a little bit more muscle, you can get into MENS pro wrestling." awh, snap.

DarrellHodge

I changed my mine; that thing is too big!


I'm joking; I couldn't resist.

muffin_shufflin

I hate when I go out with friends or family & they try to shove food in my face, saying "You've lost enough weight. You're so skinny now, so eat!" I DO EAT. I just don't eat **** like you do. I LIKE eating healthy & knowing how many calories i'm putting into my body, thank you very much.

LaMujerMasBonitaDelMundo

1. Wow, you've lost a lot! What are you doing? Diet pills?

2. I hope you aren't going to lose anymore...your face is looking gaunt.

^^ This!!! It happens to me all the time & I hate it :grumble:

LaMujerMasBonitaDelMundo

Also "Hey are you taking drugs? Because you're starting to look like a drug addict" LOL

PunkyRachel

It's a weird one, but here goes. "what you wear size 10 shoes, I thought only tall people had big feet?" I'm 5'5 lol

or, "you have been married for a while, when you gonna have kids?" or "You can't lose weight, your whole families fat, just embrace it!"

AngelstrengthWECHANGED

I agree - Nothing! Almost 3 months in, down 30-35 pounds... it's noticeable, people. Say something.

I love when people ask how I did it, and I answer "Counting calories and exercising" and their face falls. It's funny that once you start exercising daily and getting off your butt, it's not really THAT difficult to do. You just need the motivation to get the ball rolling!

I would love for people to say something about my weight loss....reading all of the posts here, I think I know why they won't. We all take these types of comments differently. Someone could say "Wow, you've lost a tonne of weight, you look great!" to me and I would gush and be so pleased whereas I've read here that another poster here felt that same comment was rude because it made it seem like she was a monster prior to the loss.

*****please read my post again. You quoted me as saying "you look great" and i never wrote that because that was not what was said to me! As I was saying, it was hard to describe. This was a very rude and hateful comment. I found back then, and even now that I have lost almost all of the baby weight, that people are jerks because they are jealous. This was not a nice comment like "you look great." It was just a "you've lost a ton......", "what did you do with the rest of you", and other stupid smart you know what comments. Yes, we all like compliments and appreciate them after hard work, but sarcastic comments that make you feel bad about the way you looked before the loss do NOT make you feel pleased. Instead, they take away from your pride. It's still a put down, just in a creative way.

"If you lost weight you wouldn't be you anymore. That would make me sad"

Said by someone who has only known me after my weight gain. (And is slender themselves.)
I think some people like having a fat sidekick.

You know being over 100 pounds overweight and in the obese catagory isnt the definitive of who I am. What would that make me 8 years ago when I wasn't this weight? Not myself?
I think I can risk messing with someones perception of my identity for the sake of living past 50. Gee, (insert sacrcasm here) hope that doesn't make me a bad friend!

I think I get what you mean. It like they are saying "Your still the fat person except now, your the fat person who lost all that weight. You know because you were SO FAT."

The only person that tells me that I need to lose weight is my mother, and she nags me about it, despite the fact I'm 40!

Also, I posted a picture of me on Facebook, and I was in a slightly too tight jumper, and a friend asked 'Getting dressed in the dark again, Rob?'

FatNurseSlim

Can't beat a good old grandparent confidence shaker - " eeee our Sarah, you used to be so thin"


And the old out for a meal " look at the size of that, you won't eat all that". How do you know?! Actually I was going to and now I feel like I have to leave half of my food to be socially acceptable!!

anmei2411

About 6 years ago, when I was pretty big, my grandfather came for a visit. I had not seen him for like 2 years because he lives far way. The first thing he said to me was "Oh my, you got fat!". Thank you, nice to see you too!

Oh, and i absolutely HATED it when I was with (skinny) friends and they started criticising themselves. I remember having to learn a dance routine for my PE course with 2 friends of mine. Half way through practise they started going like "Oh I really need to lose 5lbs - I am sooooo fat". I was about 50lbs more than they were ... feeling absolutely crap.

Discussing with my now ex step mother about what I'd really like to do as a job

Me " I like Mathis, and pretty sociable. I'd like to be a croupier in a casino"
Her, looks me up and down "well you'll need to lose weight first"

I was 12!!!!

Her comment still haunts me to this day!

'You look great for someone who's had two kids'

Honestly, that one gets my blood boiling, Id get banned from the mb's if I told you guys what Id like to say back!

xSophia19

many years ago when i was in high school i was friends with this very spiteful girl, one minute she could be your best friend, and with a click of the fingers, she will turn into a right monster. anyway myself and her, and a few other friends were all the canteen at break time, and we used to have like a cheese burger at break time, and one day i sat down with them all and i said to them 'im not having a cheeseburger today as i want to try and cut down on them and loose a stone' and then this so called 'friend' turned around and said 'sophia, you'll never be able to loose weight, you are going to be big all your life no matter what!!'

that was it for me! i broke down into tears infront of everyone (i probably looked like a right weirdo), i walked out the canteen grabbed my bag and caught the bus home. i still havent forgiven her to this day! stupid cow! grrrr.. but if i ever see her again, least ill be able to turn around and be like yeah ive dropped 3 dress sizes .. i bet she is well fat today actually! she used to eat like a horse in school and was a little chubby herself. soo i bet she's the sie of a house today! :laugh:

I would say that my least favourite is when people say "You don't need to lose weight/be on diet/ watch what you eat" when they find out that I'm trying to lose weight... I've lost like 10kg already, and now joined MFP to lose the last 4-6 kg. Of course I'm not overweight any more, I'm halfway there!! That doesn't mean that I should give up now to make them feel more comfortable (and probably undo all my good work in the process)

I've heard a lot of people say similar things, or people saying to them "you're too skinny" or whatever, when they haven't reached their goal yet. Nay-sayers like that are just unhappy with themselves, and your weight loss is throwing that into stark relief for them... so they try to bring you down because they're uncomfortable. Don't listen to them!

My least favourite thing,that I'm repulsive and ugly.. :-(

My Dad, a few years ago...."why is it that when women get married they always let themselves go?" - hitting my Mum, myself and my sister in one fell swoop!!

SilverStrychnine

There was this guy I liked, I gave him a rose on Valentines day (FIRST time I ever made a move) You know what he did the rest of that year? Laugh at me with the girls in our class, get his friend to tell me I'm fat, And tell every he doesn't like me BECAUSE I'm fat.

Also, whenever I talk about getting healthier or doing something like that, my "bestfriend" says "You won't do it, you never do, just get used to it.. you're fat!"

Yup THOSE are my reasons for getting healthy, skinny, fit. I want them to eat their words

You SO don't need people like that in your life hun!
