What is the worst comment you ever got about your weight?

I was thinking about what I hate about being fat because of a previous post and it got me wondering about other people's worse comment. Here is the one I remember from when I was 30lbs lighter than I am currently.

I have a brother who is about 400 lbs and he does NOT wash as well as he should (YUCK) and his wife was complaining that my brother stunk because of his fat rolls and then she looked at me and said "you know what I mean Beck, your big". I just stood there for a few minutes and couldn't even think, then I said " No Tonya, I don't know what you mean because I wash everyday and here is the secret to not stinking, I use SOAP".

My SIL is an idiot but it still stung!

    A few years ago I got Ill and lost a lot of weight uncontrollably. Because I was in my late teens ALOT of people assumed I was deliberately starving myself and felt it was okay to comment on how skinny/gaunt/"anorexic" I looked or the good old "eat a sandwich" line It was pretty darn crappy because all that time I was eating as much as I could and unable to gain weight.

    My grandmother was the worst though, "you look like a boy" "it's disgusting, just eat something" etc etc.
    I hope that it was coming from a place of concern in her own twisted way, but people really shouldn't comment unless they know all the details!

    If you looked like "her" I wouldn't have had to cheat.

    I was pregnant, but still...
    I was going to get some pizza, and the pizza guy asked me when I was due. I told him, and he asked if it was just one. I laughed, and said, "Yeah, just one,"
    He gave me a look of disgust and disbelief as he handed me my pizza and said, "Wow. You look like you're carrying twins."
    I should have thrown the pizza at his face, but I didn't think about it until later.
    I walked away, could hardly eat the stupid pizza and cried when I got home.

    "You're so thin it's gross"

    I kinda miss comments like that though.

    Okay - how about the BEST comment??

    I was walking to the break room for lunch, and Charlie was behind me - not once, but TWICE, he said, "Wow, Elaine, you're really losing weight!!" All I could say was, "Yes, I am, thank you so much!"

    And Charlie is usually such a JERK... It was amazing! :bigsmile:

    I had a cousin call me "wide load" constantly one Thanksgiving when I was around 19 or 20 years old. I can't stand him to this day and thankfully haven't seen him since then that I can remember.

    At my heaviest... a good friend made a comment about the cellulite on my arms... needless to say my feelings were super hurt and I let her know about it.

    I think the worst weight comment I ever got was several years ago from my aunt who is fanatical about overeaters anonymous. I was in my early twenties and had gained a few extra pounds and she told me she could get me started in OA. Here I was in my young twenties and I wasn't even that heavy...I just picked up a couple of pounds.

    Needless to say her innocent comments were so hurtful that I ended up dieting myself down to a size 0.

    I got accused of having an eating disorder when I as at my lowest weight (was only 122lbs!!!) People were use to me being the plump girl, it was quite a shock to see I had lost a lot of weight, which might I add came off healthily.

    At my biggest I was bullied at school, and they shouted at me that if they pushed me I would roll down the hill like a football.... meh

    Included both to point out people can say anything at any weight sadly =(

    My mother basically told me that I was "too big" to get a boyfriend and that it was my own fault I haven't been on a date in a while. I still haven't gotten over that. I cried for about a week after. That was 4 months ago.

    When I was 8 - 9 months pregnant, an older co-worker said I looked like a "baby whale". :cry: Wonder what she would have said if she saw me at my heaviest??? :grumble:

    ETA: OH YEA... And before that, when I was in my teens... I was / became really thin and my mom thought I was anemic. I've been from one extreme to another. :ohwell:

    This one took my breath away. My God I'm so sorry.

    You're a beautiful young woman. Try your hardest not to take to heart what your mother says from here on out. She is absolutely wrong. :heart:

    A very good friend of mine said he would have to "hoist" me up in to his Jeep, this was after about 1/2 my current weight loss.
