    this was more of a payback. I've always been big, and my sister has too, but she likes to dress like shes a Victoria secret model. she always called me names, and when I started losing weight, she wouldn't let up. One day, she was wearing this outfit, tank top and shorts, way too small for her, to the point her boobs were almost popping out, as well as her sides and the shorts were disappearing.. The shorts said Hawaii on the butt, and after she said something bad to me in front of our grandpa, he looked to her as she was walking away and said, "Looks like the islands are spreading out more." I laughed so hard I fell out of a chair.

    I haven't had much in terms of that, everybody is so nice to me, even strangers...I usually get that people don't belileve I weigh as much as I do because I don't look like it.

    But from some close friends..."What happened?". "Youre big or you're getting big".

    From some family members "you USED to be so thin/fit"

    From aquantainces "you used to be anorexic"

    I had a boyfriend who said, "You're surprisingly not awkward for a big girl" Needless to say, he ain't the guy I married.

    After I lost a lot of weight one time someone told me I looked like a concentration camp survivor. That was pretty rude.

    I lost 15+ pounds in a very short time and lots of people asked me if I was sick!

    Besides being asked if I was pregnant several times, the one that hurts the most was when my mom and I went shopping a few years ago, she held up a piece of clothing and said "if you get this big, i will lock you in a closet until you aren't". The worse part was that was my size.

    funny this comment wasn't even at my heaviest....

    I had gotten out of the car to go into the store and some young guys in a truck were moo'g at me like a cow as I walked in the store.

    The art of teaching our young sons shivalry, and how to be a gentleman is long gone......All these stories make me want to cry.
    If this were my child I would be mortified and ashamed.

    I was working in a haunted forest, and they had me positioned in the graveyard. I had hit my heaviest weight, and I was wearing a white nightgown to look like I'd died in my sleep 100 years ago.

    I was sitting on the ground, leaning against a gravestone, waiting to "come to life" and crawl at people. One of the frat boys walking by said, "Obesity. That's what killed you." A few of his friends started snickering, and a couple girls in the group said, "Oh my GOD! Ken!!!" like they were shocked and appalled, but they were laughing too.

    I was too shocked to move or say anything. As soon as they passed, I started crying really hard. I wanted to go tear their faces off. (I cry to release anger.) My friend had heard them and came through a crew passage to give me a hug.

    Later that night, I changed into a black outfit and put on a wolf mask. A few groups said, "Whoa. That's a big dude," as they walked by.

    I quit that night.

    At the time this happened I was about 170 and "firm" This was before I hit 300. I decided to get dolled up for my man. I came in the room thinking I looked hot and he just looked me up and down and says....

    "You look ridiculous"

    Personally I was expecting a different response. Never wore lingerie for him again.

    P.S. I dumped his sorry butt and found a man that really loves me.

    I always loved the "are you expecting?" or "When are you due?" questions - devastating as I cannot have kids. I took to answering with an icy stare and "I"m not pregnant, I'm just Fat." Made me feel a bit better on two counts as people invariable backed off...

    Quote "I was riding the train home from work in Chicago (the L) and two drunk boys got on and started talking about how disgusting and fat I was (230 lbs, 5'5"). Loudly. This lasted about five minutes, and everyone in my train car could hear them. I pretended not to hear them, and that I wasn't bothered by it, but I have never felt so low or cried so hard when I got home."


    That is horrible...but what makes me even more sad is that no one that was witnessing this happen said anything!

    I guess I don't have it that bad, but I am real hard on myself and when I try to say something my fiancee isn't supportive. I asked him to help me and he just says exercise then. I was however, modeling when I was 17 and only 150 which was small for me considering I have large breast and told me I could only ever be a plus size model. Or how about without breast your weight would make you ugly.
