    Two comments really stand out from my childhood--

    1. When I first started packing on weight- around puberty- someone very close to me said, "you're getting so fat, I bet you can't even see your own feet anymore."

    2. Right after I had my license, the person driving in front of my sister and I hit a deer but it was a pretty bad accident. We stopped to help them... a few days later, I saw a relative of the driver at my job, and she was like, "oh, my MIL said the heavy-set girl was so nice to her!"

    Not the meanest things by far, but two that seemed to have wounded me the most.

    I was standing at a bus stop one day, a young guy walked passed me and said "frigging hippo !"

    I sincerely hope you knocked his teeth out and then carelessly shoved them back in...

    A girl I worked with once told me:

    "You have a pretty face, why don't you take care of the rest of you?"

    I know it doesn't seem that bad, but damn, I hate backhanded compliments. I also hate how some girls can't understand that it's impossible for me to be as thin as them. Whaaaatever.

    when I was anorexic in HS my parents would threaten me with hospitilization. Then the very next night if I were hungry and I ate a larger than my normal helping they would call me fat and tell me I was huge. Very mixed reactions. Then when my body shut down due to the anorexia and my thyroid stopped I gained a bunch and my best friend came home from basic and looked at me and said dude WTF you're FAT! So the last ten years have been hard and I am finally healthy again. It was the same friend who for years has been telling me I needed to loose but much more kindly.

    The people around you make all the difference in the world. I hope that you are now surrounded by positive, supportive and accepting people who love and accept you for WHO you are! What terrible mixed messages you received growing up. How absolutely terrible.

    Three Things That have stuck with me:

    1. I got called Free Willy in front a group of people in junior high. To this day, I will never forget that. I went to the bathroom and just cried.

    2. My ex husband said "It's kind of hard to have sex with you since you are so big"

    3. My ex husband also said "You should have lost the weight I asked you to lose before we got married"

    Yeah..you see why he is an EX husband!

    I was standing at a bus stop one day, a young guy walked passed me and said "frigging hippo !"

    See, that's when you follow at a safe distance shrieking, "The paternity test says it's yours! Stop walking away from me! And when are you going to pay the hospital bill from breaking my jaw?"

    He will never say anything rude to anyone in public again.

    ROFLMFAO!!!!

    My ex husband turned very hateful after our son was born....I gained a lot of weight. I got called a cow, a fat-a$$ed b!tch, was threatened if I didn't lose weight, he was leaving.

    He gave me money one day and told me to go buy a stationary bike and I better not come home without it. He made ride that thing and to this day, I will NOT get on a stationary bike.

    After we divorced (yeah!), I realized what a controlling, insecure, *kitten* he was. He did a lot of damage to my self esteem, but 12 years later, I have it back and doing very well, and he is still an angry, bitter man.

    Aren't you a little heavy to be a vegetarian?

    What the wha? Cause this person was bigger than me, and this was at a time in my life when yes I was big but I was also bulky from muscle but whatever.

    People are so darned mean! :( I want to punch a couple of people after reading these.

    I hesitate to put my own, but here goes:

    I dated a guy in college who would constantly tell me to work out (even though he was Roman and was constantly cooking us pasta with butter O.o ...) and would call me "Peter Griffin" (I wasn't even as "fat" as I am now, I was probably a size 6/8, tops.) Needless to say, that didn't last long. The funny thing is that I saw him at the gym about a year later when I had gotten down to a lean size 2/4. He said "Hi" to me and I said "Hi." back, and then laughed uncontrollably in my head.

    I also once had a little girl (about 4 years ago) ask me if I was having a baby. In her defense, kids can't really help that.

    My mom used to be over 200 lbs, and has gotten down to the 140's by healthy eating and daily walks. But, I remember at the beginning of her journey, she came home from a walk really sad. I asked her why, and she said that while she was walking, someone yelled at her that she'd "never lose weight that way." (Too bad they never found out they totally got MODED!)

    I wish I could go back in time and tell my younger self not to accept bad treatment from men. But at least I've learned my lesson. :)

    Brothers and other kids at school called me "fatass" during my entire childhood, and I wasn't that big at the time. :frown:


    I've never been big all over, but I have a butt. Family members have made fun of me and once when I was running on the street, a young girl yelled:

    "You'll never run off that *kitten*."

    I was told by a friend-girl of mine, look at your stomach. I use to tell her, I have 3 children, what is your excuse? She is big as a house now. I just have to sit back and laugh.

    I once went out with a guy who was very obese. I was thin, but watched what I ate. He used to make gourmet meals like risotto and complain if I didn't take a second helping. He wouldn't buy skim milk if he was going out to market, returning with whole milk. Yet he "joked" that he would dump me in a minute if I got fat. The definition of "passive-aggressive."

    I also once had a little girl (about 4 years ago) ask me if I was having a baby. In her defense, kids can't really help that.

    I almost did that once. That would have been so embarrassing. But I wasn't aware at the time that some women put on weight in their abdomens instead of their hips and backsides. She also was reasonably young.

    "What guy really wants a girl who looks like they're pregnant all the time?" This was said less like a question, but more with a face of disgust after he mentioned that he forces himself to have sex with me because I'm just that disgusting.

    ...Don't do me any favors.

    You guys need to stay away from those people!! Thats just aweful!! Believe me those are the people that have No real quality of life because they are just that shallow!!! - they can't possibly appreciate any kind of real relationship and thus are missing out on best things in life!

    You just do your best to feel better about yourself and don't EVEN listen to idiots like that!! I know its hard though!


    If only it were that easy. Some, not all, of these bullies were attractive and seemed to have a pretty good life. That's why it hurt.

    My brother used to say to me

    'You're not fat but you're not slim... You're what I call 'chubby''

    It's like er.... are you trying to flatter me but insult me at the same time?

    When I was in elementary school, kids used to call me blue whale and ask me if I had to wear my mother's clothes. I remember a school nurse checking my ankle for an injury saying "I don't know if it's swollen, or just you...".

    My grandfather when I was in ED recovery comparing my weight gain to a cousin who had gained a lot of weight. When chastised by my grandmother, he was like "What- she has gained a lot of weight!". Sent me into a nose dive and derailed my recovery.

    My usually lovely mother-in-law poking my *kitten* and hips when I was pregnant with number #2, and saying "Yep- it's going to be another girl!". Because she believed old tales that a boy is all in the stomach and a girl is all around weight gain. It was a boy- thanks very much. :tongue:

    Now the comments I am getting are -

    'Eat something'
    'See you later. Enjoy your starvation diet'
    'Nice collarbones'
    'Hey fatty' - from a friend clearly mocking my weight loss.

    I just can't win!

    I'm fairly average now that I've lost some weight (for god's sake, I don't even fit into a size 6 US yet) and somebody at work the other day offered me a brownie. One man goes, "look at her. She doesn't want a brownie. She's probably one of them health food nuts." Then he looked at the sunflower seeds I was eating and goes, "that ****'s not even good for you." (Yes, let me just take food advice from you, brownie-wielding 300-pound rude man).

    I'd already eaten lunch that same day when I learned they were having a lunchtime barbecue. I didn't want anything more to eat, but I went outside to hang out. Soon everybody was pointing out that I wasn't eating and I heard someone snort, "she probably only eats twice a year." I don't know what's wrong with these people that they think I'm underweight, but I can assure you, a size 8 is not underweight for a 5' 5.5'' girl. Just because you are ridiculously overweight doesn't give you jurisdiction to call me emaciated.

    THANK YOU, EXACTLY! Why does everyone feel the need to share their dieting advice when they're not eating healthy?!

    yep! even last Saturday night at a friend's party I had a friend come up to me and say

    'You are not my type. I like girls with tits and *kitten*. Just sayin' I said 'well good for you!'

    another friend said 'I don't want to touch you. I'm afraid of breaking you'

    like seriously!? I am 180cms and weigh 62kgs. I have to be 5 kilograms lighter to be considered underweight.

    It's just upsetting when you've put in some hard yards to look better and become a healthier version and your friends just can't handle the new change and want to put you down :/

    Oh, brother! Cosmo magazine sells lies, women (most of us, anyway) cannot simply eat all the food that we want and stay slim.
