I have always been big and there have been so many things that people have said or done that has about my weight. I NEVER heard the end of it from my stepfather. It was always "You're fat. You're ugly." I was around 9 at the time and it still continues today at 29. But some of the worst things was when he would lock me out of the house and make me run up and down the street in front of our house and around our block over and over again. Sometimes around our house and do countless sit ups and push ups and wrestle with my sisters and "I should win because I am so much bigger than them!" I was so embaressed to be seen and that continues today. I feel like I am never gonna be able to feel better about myself and I know that if he had just went about it differently then maybe I wouldnt look and feel this way now. Please tell me he's out of your life?

My boyfriend said to me that my *kitten* was getting wider. He said this while I was getting dressed. Even though I've lost all the weight I needed to, I'm still uncomfortable with him seeing me naked.
Last year I got engaged and started planning my wedding and when I went into a bridal shop to try on a gown and the shop assistant just looked at me and said " sorry I don't think we can help you here, but you could try a diet" At 228lbs i knew i was big but i was so taken back by it i actually called my wedding off and we are now waiting for me to reach my 100lbs weight loss goal x
That is so very sweet. That really made my evening.
"MOVE, fatass!" .... I was nine at the time. I had just gotten the wind knocked out of me with a soccerball on the playground. "I would so *kitten* that fat *kitten*!" ...... this was just last year. I enjoy karaoke night at a local bar because, well, I'm not terrible at it. That particular night I was getting a following when I'd go up to sing. This drunk *kitten* in the bar of the bar decided this was an appropriate comment to throw at me as I was singing. Gee, glad you like the singing, NOT the way to go about asking for a date, though. Guy at a bar: "So, when are you due?" Me, a waitress: "......I'm not pregnant." Him: "Oh..." Five minutes later....Him: "So is it a boy or a girl?" Me: "......I said I'm NOT pregnant. THANKS."
A teammate of mine referred to me as the Michelin Man. I now have a sticker of the Michelin Man on my car as a little reminder and motivation.
Always been a big girl as long as I can remember and have been bullied about it my whole life. Sadly though, the one that stays with me is from when I was 10 years old and I was talking to my grandmother on the phone. "Grandma, I love you." "I love you too... but I would love you more if you weren't so fat." {{{{{Hugs}}}}}} That's the saddest thing I have ever read.

I have been moo'd at, heckled, called names etc. but my moms obsession with my weight (and yet, refused to take me to a doctor when I asked her to take me as a teenager...) and comments are what stuck with me the most.
I hope you start feeling better soon, Zara. I know what you mean about not feeling better, though. It's ingrained in our heads now. Fat. Ugly. Not good enough by society's standards. Like just because we have extra weight, we're not worth the same amount of consideration as normal weight people. It's sad. I always worry my husband finds me fat. We've been through a lot together, lots of good and bad, and sometimes I just worry he's in it because of the kids. I don't think he adores my body the way I'd like. And he makes comment about overweight women ALL the time without realizing how much it hurts me when I'm right beside him and I'm overweight too. :<
I was at the bar with some co workers and one of the managers made a comment that said "hey you can answer this question sarah, big girls are easy right?" not only did he call me fat, but he was assuming that i was a slut because since im bigger i will just give it away to anyone for attention. no thanks.
Before I started my weightloss journey, I was on a date(very few then) at Wendys & I heard a kid tell his mom that I looked like a two legged hippo. My date heard it, but pretended not to. The worst is how hard the mom laughed at this. I just wanted to drop dead.:blushing: :sad:
