    A couple of years ago a nurse at my doctor's office was weighing me and started with 150 and I immediately told her I was well over 200. I believe I was about 235. She said "girl you wear those pounds well." I had to laugh....

    My "step daughter" said that I was the only one in my group of peers that wasn't "noticeably old". Why, THANK YOU, dear. :). She also told her dad (my boyfriend) at the dinner table, that she thought I deserved a pearl necklace for Valentine's day. I almost south my drink out!
    OMG ... I just spit diet coke all over my laptop!!!!!!!!!!

    Polite? I suppose the most polite was the time some guy told me I was boring (he's a stranger so it was weird).

    All the other insults I get aren't polite at all.

    I'm cringing through this whole thread. I've been there so many times!

    Some of my faves:

    "Wow, can you dance!" (Why is this said with such surprise?)

    "You are so photogenic!" (This is often code for 'I had no idea you were as big as you are based on the photos I've seen.')

    And, from a drunk girl back when stretch pants were in fashion: "As big and round as your *kitten* is, it's amazing that you have no cellulite!"

    I had my Coast Guard foul weather jacket on, and it had my last name stenciled in big letters across the back... I walked into an Enlisted Mans club and there was a comedian on stage doing his act... as I passed the stage and headed to the back where the bar was he said over the microphone "Hey, you misspelled GOODYEAR"

    It hurt... but cracked me up also... gotta admire wit even if you are the victim :mad:

    i think it's so sad when comedians insult people directly like that. i can see generalizing about a group of people, but i never in my life found it funny to embarass someone especially in front of tons of people like that. it's stupid and makes me so mad. since when did inflicting pain on others become something to laugh at? i wish you would have said something back to him...

    This was just a funny case of instant karma I wanted to share.

    I was on my first day in a brand new high school and a girl walked up to me. I was painfully shy and was hoping she would want to be friends.
    She said (in the snarkiest tone ever): "What does it feel like?" I gave a puzzled look. She continued: "To be way taller than all the other girls, it must be embarassing.".
    I was crushed. :(

    Suddenly a basketball flew out of nowhere and broke her nose. The person who threw the basketball (not on purpose!) would later be my boyfriend of 4 years. True story. :)


    That. Is. Beautiful.

    About a week ago a homeless man said "your dumb" as I escorted him off the property as per my night job. And then I realized something....people now don't have the "your fat" comment to go to anymore :) lol

    One that came to mind, my mom has always been putting me down since i was a kid, (7 years old)

    "look! You have to go into womens instead of kids now." (age 10)
    "Ya know, just because your fat doesn't mean you're a bad person. (age 13)
    "If you ever want to get a boyfriend, you need to lose some weight and try to hide those scars." (16)

    At 19 when I finally lost weight, she gained a lot. Never seen her that big. PAYBACK!!!

    I didn't say anything, but my stepdad (who has always been big) got in his revenge.
    Mom: "I only have two pairs of pants!"
    Stepdad: "What? To make one?"

    I had to laugh. A life time of her constant put downs, karma is good.

    When I was in middle school, one of the "pretty" girls came up to me and said, "Your so lucky!!!!!!". I looked at her and asked why. She said, "Cause you have the biggest boobs in the class". I was mortified. I legitimately thought about killing myself that night.

    I am glad that you did not kill yourself. Bullies are dumb :(

    THIS <3

    Yesterday one of my friends was commenting on my new figure. He said, "You used to be 'shapely'" and did the finger quotes. But he followed it up with, "You look fantastic now!" so I wasn't too upset :)

    I have two that are still in my thoughts...

    1- I had lost 65 lbs and walked in to my grandmother's house, proud to be under 200 lbs for the first time as an adult. She asked what I weighed, I said 195.... what I got back was, "Well, you don't look like you still weigh that much!"


    2- My mother was trying to tell me (as a young adult) her thoughts on whether my sister and I needed to marry. She told me that my sister needed to find a rich man to take care of her, but me, well, some people just never get married. My teenage brain read that as .... my mom thinks no one will want to marry me, and I still fight it today, haha!
