    Ive been with my husband for almost 12 years. His mother has ALWAYS made comments about my weight. And shes a bigger lady. I have always ignored them and tried to be polite. Well on our wedding day, when im in my dress and think i feel beautiful (as every girl wants to feel on her wedding day) she turns to me, pats my stomach and says "it looks like you have a baby in there". For the first time ever I couldnt bite my tongue, i turned around, patted her stomach and said "well if im having a baby then you must be having twins!" and turned and walked away. Makes me so sad that she hurt my self esteem like that on my wedding day, the worst day to do that to a girl. And 2 yrs later i had a baby. She came to visit when my daughter was 6 weeks old. She told me that i needed to put myself on a serious diet, yada yada yada. Seriously? My kid is 6 weeks old, get off my back. I'll be seeing her for thanksgiving in a few weeks for the first time in a year. Interested in hearing what she says when she sees ive lost 90 lbs.

    "You don't look pregnant, you just look like you've gained weight" when I was about 28 weeks pregnant with my second baby.

    "Black hearted little wench" was my Mom's favorite title for me.

    "You DESERVE to be smacked around" in reference to an abusive relationship I was in

    Oh, there are others too, but we won't go there.

    I can't remember anything off the top of my head. Just typical fatty comments. Really only as a kid. I haven't had anyone say something flat out rude or hateful about my body size since high school.

    In 8th grade girls used to call me "The tree" because I wasn't ultra skinny and I was taller then all of them, back when I was 14 is the guys hadn't yet caught up to my height so I was giant. :D

    I've had some pretty embarrassing things said to me, always being the "big girl" I never "got used to it" like most people do. For a while, I used to use humor as a way to cop with my own weight. I couldn't look at myself in a full length mirror naked & be happy & STILL can't, even after loosing 30lbs!
    I remember this specific event the summer of 2011 I went on a family vacation, we stopped at a local Walmart to check it out & walking in, there were 3 younger kids, in high school I would say maybe 9th or 10th grade standing by the front door, as I walked in I heard one say (& I was wearing a knee length white dress) "she looks like a giant marshmallow" & the others snickered at the comment. I was so embarrassed and angry! I also remember another even that really kicked me where it hurt, jump starting my weight loss, was when I was pregnant with my daughter & her father & I weren't together. He, for some reason, told another girl her body was "bangin" when she said "and your baby moms isn't?" (she assumed we were still together) he said "not really" well, that hit home from me, specifically because him & I were together for about a year, well, he didn't see me fully naked EVER until I was about 6 months pregnant! He always told me that my body size didn't matter & that he loved me for me, then turns around and bashes me, knowing how hard I was on myself about my own weight, not only that but knowing how many things I had tried to do to loose weight; from being a vegetarian to almost starving to death.
    Now, 2 years later, I have lost 30lbs (since Jan. 1st 2012) just simply by changing my diet & exercising regularly! That's all I did. That's it! Pretty simple. I am not to my goal weight, I've got about 50lbs left to go until I reach my goal, but WHEN I do, I know I will be happy again.

    There's only one person in this world who has said things to me about my weight and my appearance that has stuck with me.

    That person is me.

    Anything anyone else has ever said I can't remember but I remember every horrible, mean, cruel thing I've said to myself.

    My mother once told me that if she had gotten pregnant with me one year later, she would have aborted me. (I was born in '72, one year before Roe v. Wade)

    I told her I would have fully supported her choice because then I wouldn't have had to have her as a mother. *sigh*

    I was told by a large man at the gym that I was to fat to try P90X. He probably had a good 30 lbs on me and at least 10 years.
    The pregnant questions don't bother me to much cause I know the embarrassment on their part is far worse then I feel.

    When someone asks that, I always remember my boyfriend from my early twenties yelling in my face, "I will never marry you!"

    But now I know it was the nicest thing he ever said to me. I feel sorry for whoever he did marry and I'm glad I'm not her. Thanks, guy, you did me a HUGE favor!

    My wife told me once that her worst fear in life was that our son was going to grow up and be just like me.

    That's horrible

    The day I returned to work from maternity leave (5 wks pp.) A regular customer asked me when I was going to have the baby......I was really thin before getting pregnant....I was so close to crying and I seriously almost wanted to find a new job where no one knew I was thin before...I still see that guy and always ignore him.

    Someone got nasty with me a few weeks ago at Giant Eagle as I was on my phone and talking to a friend in russian. He was a skinny redneck that said that I was in America and needed to speak english. I told him in american to bite me

    My ex said many mean things to me such as: 'your belly (gesturing exaggerated belly) makes me want to puke' 'you look like a whale' 'i'm ashamed walking around with you' Mind you, I was between my normal weight and 20 pounds over.

    This Halloween, at a costume store, the girl working there suggested that they had a plus size section...The costume I wore was a large and fit me perfectly...

    Apart from recieving a load of the usual fat guy jokes, I also had:
    ' Are you wearing your dads shirt ? ' (those school uniform shirts)
    ' My parents weigh less than you '

    "You'll never know what true love is until you have children." Or "your own children."

    My husband and I are infertile. At this point, even if we could have children we wouldn't. So, I guess I will never know what love is.

    When I was a teenager my dad, of ALL people actually said to me, "Ya know, you'd be really pretty if you'd lose some weight"

    Can't remember the meanest things someone said to me.
    If we rely on what people say to us in order to achieve happiness its
    going to be one hell of a sad life.
    Dr Wayne Dyer quote : "I don't care what other people think it's none of my business"

    If this fails then try to add humor. Couple of years back I was in a fast food eatery
    with my girlfriend who was 15 year younger than me. ( 42 and 27)
    An elderly woman while laughing said that CHILDREN normally like this meal.
    So I replied well what about OLD people like you what do they like. hehehe

    From weirdo family friend, my first semester in college: "Hey, how's the food at LSU?"
    Me: "Ok, I guess..."
    Weirdo family friend: "Cause you look like you're gaining weight."

    *kitten*.

    Isn't it sad how the mean comments (which are usually few and far between) can stay with us forever, but we so easily forget the compliments?

    As a Hungarian I'd like to apologize for the Hungarian lady. But I can't say I'm surprised lol we are very direct and to the point but it's not meant to be insulting. It's just the way ppl in Europe are. It's practically the first thing ppl comment on after not seeing you for a while. Usually a nice thing like oh you've lost weight but the older generation will comment on weight gain too. My Husband's Turkish great aunt told me at dinner after knowing me for a day that at my age she was only 50kg and decided to help me out by telling me not to eat too much bread lol thanks! Oh and someone had to translate for us so that was awkward. And I wasn't even big I was 5'9" and 145.

    I took a shirt back to a clothing store to exchange for a smaller size. Without looking at the size or asking if I needed a bigger or smaller size the sales clerk pointed to the the other side of the store and said, "We have the bigger sizes on this side." Needless to say instead of exchanging for something else, I got my money back and didn't make another purchase.
