    My gym buddy said to me, "... you've lost so much weight your stretch marks are really showing". :noway:

    Haha, SoI'm not the only one. ...not sure I should feel about that.

    The most insulting backhanded compliment I received was, "You'd be so hot if you were 6'!" I'm 5'7''.

    I joined roller Derby this was a huge breakthrough for me, Someone I know (who supposedly cares for me) be said that is awesome but make sure you can actually do it before you spend all the money on equipment.... I have not been back to roller derby since. I may just be over reacting, i'm not really sure but this really put out my light.

    On a first date with a guy who seemed nice before this point, "So, for like a fat chick, your boobs really aren't very big...... the rest of you is ok, but I was expecting bigger. At least your back doesn't hurt all the time." Then he wanted to clink glasses and do a cheers to that!

    I was like... "Wait... WTF?"

    A co-worker was talking about an upcoming trip and the price of things in that
    particular country, and then he said "but you don't travel" then caught himself and
    said "or maybe you do". What about me made him assume that.

    WHAT??? Look, I've got stretch marks, it happens, but that's NOT something you comment on.

    This didn't happen to me, but to my niece...
    Her hairdresser is a guy who happens to be friends of both her and her (now ex) husband. She hadn't been to the salon in a while, and when she did go, the hairdresser was chatting with her while she was in the chair. He says "Oh, I saw (her ex) the other day. He's lost a lot of weight. I see that you found it." Omg! She let him finish her hair, didn't tip him, and never went back to him!

    I've not had this personally, but I was with someone who received it.

    'I don't normally like big girls'

    "Eat a Sandwich" - like um thanks?
    or always calling me "skinny girl" when they talk to me, but the way they say it doesn't sound like a compliment.

    It's like, I like that people think I'm skinny but you're insulting me saying it like that or instead of actually complimenting me or commenting on my weight loss you just tell me to eat more....why so I can me unhappy and chubby and jealous of skinnier people again?

    I've got that too! Since I've lost weight, I've been told I need to eat a cheeseburger! Ummmm - really?? I've only just recently hit the *normal* weight for my height (and that's at the high end), pretty sure I don't need to stuff my face with cheeseburgers daily, thanks for the advice!

    My daughters sister in law (no clue how she's related to me) blurted out this morning "wow, you lost a lot of weight."
