    "If you lost some weight you'd probably be better in bed."

    From a few months ago: "The face is bigger but you're still generally as I remember you."
    Childhood: "You want everyone to feel bad for you because you're fat." That one really stung and has held on.
    "You don't need that." In reference to food.
    "You would be perfect if you lost a lot of weight."

    What I hate is when you haven't seen someone for a while & they comment 'oh you managed to keep all that weight off then!' yeah, thanks I think there's a compliment in there somewhere.

    Let's see my mom told me all the way through my childhood I was a fat *kitten* and ugly as a dog and I was always small till I had kids. She told me on my 16th birthday I was so ugly and fatt no one would ever want me. To beat it all my sister would go to school and say the same thing my mom would say and when walking down the hall kids would say here comes the fat *kitten* dog face and how disgusted I made them.. Now that I am heavy my mother tells me how pretty I am all the time weird I know but my sister still tells my when she see's me that she want's to vomit because I am so fat and ugly. Needless to say I don't talk to them much.

    The only time I have ever had a bad comment about my weight was a ex boyfriend saw me when I was pregnant and said something like I looked like a damn cow.. Not nice for a pregnant women to hear she looks like a cow.

    i was at walgreens picking up one of my multiple perscriptions (many medical issues) and a woman walked up RUBBED MY STOMACH and asked "boy or girl and whats your due date?" needless to say i was pissed and heartbroked (had already lost 20 pounds at that point) literally put my fist up when the pharmacist called my name :/ not a shining moment for me

    I don't understand why strangers think it's okay to walk up and just start touching you like that. o.O If I ever become pregnant I'm going to carry pepper spray.

    When I worked at Walmart I was covering a door greeter's lunch, and some super old guy came in and told me I needed to eat more apples and oranges so I'd lose weight.

    "You can't tell by looking at me, but I'm old enough to be your grandfather!" Haha... okay... I had to try really hard not to say "Really? Wow, you're right, I would have pegged you as my great-great-grandfather!"

    Because your uterus is apparently public domain.
  • Only once have I ever had to cope with small minded people regarding my weight, I was at a motor racing track where I worked and was walking back from the bathroom and walked past a group of about 8 guys who were all drunk and one of them started calling me FATSO, so I just turned around and said very loudly " really thats not what you said to me in bed the other night, but if you want to refer to calling me names I may as well let your friends know you have a little p*#is", I turned on my heels and kept walking, gee it felt good when his friends were laughing at him

    One of my students said, "The back of your neck looks like a package of hot dogs."
    Ouch.

    There's a comment on the politics of women's health here. x3 Another thread maybe.

    I was asked once where by a classmate in high school where I find clothes to fit me since Lane Bryants sizes can't possibly carry my size.

    I was roller blading once, many years ago, when I weighed probably 130 (instead of the 155 I am now) and a couple of guys crossed the street in front of me on their way to the park. When I passed them, one of the guys called after me, "That's not doing your *kitten* any good."

    I was so shocked I couldn't come up with a good comeback until I was about a block away.

    I would imagine this to be an appropriate response for quite a few of the verbal attacks listed in this thread:

    "Well, I'm losing weight with each day that goes by...YOU, on the other hand, will always be an idiot."

    My Ex boyfriend of 5 years left me for a young petite blonde and said I was a "your fat and ugly as ****, nice tits old lady" in a message to me. Hes only a year younger than me.

    He also told me my "friends" called me 'Ming face'.

    Another "friend" plays a very immature game when hes out and gives people a mark out of 10. He said I was a 2.

    There's loads of stuff, I never seem to be able to forget any negative comments made towards me about my looks.
  • The worst comment I ever got was when I was in high school. I was VERY sick and grossly underweight. A girl came up to me and said "you look really great. You should try out for cheerleading."

    Hence my hatred for cheerleaders.

    'I was told an elephant would look slimmer than me' so I replied, 'thankyou, but what a diet would do for me, plastic surgery would be required for you!' She shut up after that :)

    Every Christmas when we go to my inlaws my husband's brother invites this older couple and one year she said to me "if you'd eat some vegetables you'd lose some weight." That was it! I started my diet right after that! She still questions me every time I see her about what I am doing to lose weight! She's is such a bag!

    My husband had the same experience on a visit,and this older lady telling him that he had put on some weight and he replies," And you, madame have put on a few years".... Boom!

    People generally don't say anything about it but I get passed up on party invitations and stuff like that all the time. My friends who are skinny and pretty never get passed up like I do. I've never really been "the hot one," but it's irritating to be ignored outright.

    A guy I was dating said I'd look better if I lost 30lbs. Needless to say, I am no longer seeing that one.

    When are you due? NOT Pregnant
    Are you sure you should be eating all that? (My Mom) followed by, Did you get enough honey? I don't want you to go away still hungry."
    No, you're not pretty-you're BIG.

    My Fav: You're not THAT fat! Like, as opposed to what? A Hippo? Er, Thanks (?) for the complement(?)
    i get "when are you due alot"
    i too have hear "your not that fat"
    but my fav really has to be my sisters boyfriends comment " your not fat, your just swolled up" (yes not swollen, he said swolled"
    my sister calls me fluffy , though when we were kids , she would call me a moo cow and ask if i was going to go grazing in the grass (she is a lil 95 pound soaking wet stick figure :laugh: )

    comments hurt , the one from my childhood still hurts and im 32, so that was in the 80s

    After repeatedly cheating on me and then making an agreement to only sleep with me if I put on porn of skinny blonde chicks or held a porn magazine while we were having sex, my ex said, "If you weren't so fat and disgusting, I wouldn't want to sleep with other women. If you looked like this {he ripped out and threw a Playboy centerfold at me}, I'd never stick my d**k anywhere else. But YOU DON'T... count yourself lucky that you get any at all Lard *kitten*!"

    WOW.. :noway: That may quite possibly be the rudest thing I have ever heard.... I hope you got rid of that baggage!!

    When I was 12, my first boyfriend told me I was fat and needed to lose weight. When he broke up with me, he called me "weird" "dumb" and "queer" (and not the 1950s queer that means odd). I stayed with him, too. Years later, I am MUCH more attractive than he is, bahaha.

    My current boyfriend would never say anything to hurt my feelings, but one night I dragged out of him (I'm relentless) that he thinks our sex life would be better if I were slimmer and that he would honestly prefer it. I can't really be mad at him for an opinion I tore out of him, LMAO.

    When we were kids my brother used to say in a sing-song voice: "Robin the brat is very fat". Funny thing is, at the time I wasn't!
    Also when my grandmother would return from her winter in Florida she would hug me and say: "I can see you haven't lost any weight". From my grandmother for crying out loud!

    oooh actually my first boyfriend told me if i lost weight i would probs be better in bed :grumble:

    My ex husband told me once if I lost about 10lbs all his friends would think I was super hot (I was 120 at the time)

    I told him if his d*ck was 2 inches bigger we'd have a better time in bed.

    Guess we both lost on that one :laugh:

    Why the heck did you put up with that crap? Seriously. If a man even SUGGESTED this, I'd punch him in the face and dump him immediately.

    Gosh...these are so sad. People are so damned mean!! Even if we are/were fat/chubby....as my favorite bumper sticker says...'I may be fat but you're ugly and I can diet" :laugh: Usually they don't get it. So then I also realize that not only are they ugly (inside and out) but the poor dears are dumb too!

    I was with my sisters helping my parents. They were moving and I offered my time to come over and pack up their attic. Dad yells at me, be careful, there's a 200lb weight limit on those pull-down stairs. I cried and after my mother was done with him, I actually got the first apology from him--EVER.

    In farm and tractor...(sis swears to this day it was an accident) but I was bending over and at the same time she pushed a button on a cow toy and it went "MOOOOOOOOOOOO" as I bent over. I will remember that feeling until my dying day.

    Another time I was riding a ride at the carnival and everyone I got on the ride with was fine but the attendant had to come over in front of everyone and keep trying to push down my safety harness....talk about wanting to die of embarrassment.

    My dad would ground me from the kitchen, I wasn't allowed to have any food unless he approved it (looking back when I was a kid, I had a few extra pounds but I can now see that I wasn't chubby, much less fat).

    My little sister was about 4 y.o and she made the comment that when she grew up, she wanted to be just like me. Awwww....then my father said, "No matter what you do, you'll never get as big as your sister" "-hahahaha"

    I broke my foot/ankle/leg two years ago and at walmart, I used the electric cart. It was very hard to use crutches for a few hours in walmart. My father felt it necessary to go in front of me yelling, 'Wide Load". It made it even worse when I backed up and it beeped. =(

    Srry, guess I had a bit of un-repressed memories. Oh yeah, my real name is Bobbie Jo, so all I ever heard was "Blobby Jo".

    One day I actually stood up to my dad and it felt fantastic. He was looking at me smirking, not long ago, asking how many pounds I'd packed on. I told him, that actually, I had lost some weight. He laughed. I asked him how much he weighed. He rubbed his preggers tummy and proudly replied...205lbs. I laughed my *kitten* off and told him that I was down to 195lbs (or something like that) and I'm at least 5 inches taller than my father. The look on his face was PRICELESS and this time, everyone in the room got a laugh at his expense. =) And since he's so short, my husband gets him back for me by telling him, "get back in your little hole, TROLL"

    Srry for writing so much, this topic really hit home to me and hugs to you all. I think you are all beautiful :flowerforyou:

    Oh honey, am so glad you are getting your own back! :) But ... so sorry that you heard all this.
