    California is worse than NY. I was minding my own business there and still got rude comments out of nowhere from strangers. That doesn't happen as much in NY. I also know a poster from a forum I'm on who had to move from California to Boston because she couldn't take the rude, obnoxious people anymore. My friend wants me to move out there and I said no way in hell would I move there unless I was at my goal weight because I would be cursing out people daily if they made a rude comment to me.

    wow, but really i believe it. i work with the public and people actually feel free to say lots of rude things. when i was heavier, i didn't mind my weight it was the comments from everyone else that made me feel bad. now that i am thinner, i get comments from anything from hair to nail colour..what can you do

    My favorite response in those situation is "Well, I might be fat, but I can lose weight. You however will always be a _______." The blank can be filled in with whatever you feel is best warrented in the situation. Rude disguting people. It makes me sad.

    OMG! Really? Move on over to Seattle; most people do not behave like that.

    Insults say a lot more about the person giving them than the person receiving them.

    And remember this - you can lose the weight in your own way by your own time-table, but being an a-hole is forever.

    The best is when people on here say things about my food diary yet eat fast food everyday and sodium levels are thru the roof. I would'nt mind any critiques if you ate clean.

    I was about to ask where the hell you live...saw New York City...all wonder vanished, and all became clear. I think that city actually breeds a special type of *kitten*.

    Ditto again! :)

    Hey now...be nice. I'm from NYC. Not all of us are *kitten*. :-)

    I have had people ask me if I should be eating that , I have had people say to me that I needed to lose weight because no man wants a fat wife, I have had sales clerks walk up to me in nice clothing stores to inform me that they dod not sell things in my size ( when i did not ask for any assistance and was not loking for myself) I have gotten dirty looks from people when eating at fast food places, I was called fat and lazy, unmotivated, and asked when the baby was due when I was not pregnant. Now that I am only about 10 or so lbs from my goal people have felt the need to tell me that I need to eat more till they saw how much I eat and now say where the hell do you put it, oh and some people feel the need to coment insultingly on my large tattoos and feel that women should not have tattoos like the ones I have and that I look scary lol.

    This....I cant believe these stories are real.

    I've seen people actually hang out of car windows and moo or bark at overweight people. Disgusting behavior and never an excuse to behave like that. I'm sure it has everything to do with their upbringing.

    I've never had anyone comment on what I'm eating but since I lost a lot of weight, I've noticed that my friends and family pay a lot more attention to what I'm eating, or more likely, what I'm NOT eating :smile: I think that is actually to my advantage now because it makes me hope that I'm setting a good example for them.

    Most of my issues were at my former job and I stress FORMER! :) there was this one guy that used to police me. I guess it affected his life that I never lost all of the weight I gained after haing my baby. So he thought it was his job to get me back in shape. He used to always say something when I would get food at work functions. One day we were in line to get our food and he yelled from the back of the line (in frount of about 20 people) "That's a nice plate you are making there, Al!)

    Then there was the chick who was losing weight for her wedding. They were selling ice cream for charity, so I bought a two and stashed them in the freezer. I ate one on the first day and when I went to get another the next day, she yelled out "AGAIN!!!!!!!" . We are trying to get healthy over here. She was on south beach and whenever she saw me eating carbs, she thought it was her job to announce it to everyone.

    Some people.

    QFT.

    I call people on their rudeness to me, then they consider me a crazy b!tch because I stood up for myself. Specifically about the food police, I tell them whatever they're "concerned" I shouldn't be eating, it keeps me from murdering people, then maintain eye contact until they are suitably creeped out.

    "I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public."


    This is hilarious, good for you for sticking up for yourself. People need a serious slap in the face.

    I wanna have a six pack so if people wanna say anything about the food im eating ill just lift up my shirt, say nothing and walk away :)

    i know whats good and what not. im going to school to be a nutritionist so i eat a certain way, and i dont impose on other people food choices either. the only time i talk about food is if people ask me directly about something they are eating and then i answer honestly.

    This kind of happened to me recently....

    About a month ago, when I was right at 15 pounds lost into my weightloss journey, my family and I were celebrating my 21st birthday by going out to eat at my favorite Italian restaurant. I was doing well, didn't order any alcohol, only ate a little over half my meal (boxed the rest), and had a small salad for my starter. When the waiter came by to ask if we wanted any dessert, my grandma asked if there was any kind of special for a birthday dinner, at that, suddenly my grandfather blurted out "Danielle, You really should exercise more. Are you exercising any? You really should go to the gym and watching your weight." The whole table got silent and a few people giggled. My face turned red. I just replied "Yes grandpa, I joined a gym over a month ago...".

    I hadn't even requested or shown interest in dessert. Didn't have alcohol, had a salad as starter, and only ate about half my meal... plus I had already lost 15 pounds. It really felt like a slap in the face. And I don't think he meant it that way or really understood that it had hurt me, but now I always joke with the rest of the family about making sure grandpa knows when I go to the gym. Weekly I will send him an email to report that I have gone every other day to the gym,
