in Chit-Chat
At my highest weight I had to buy new underwear to cover my growing behind. When I got home my mother in law was there. I took the panties out of the bag and held them up. I said " oh those are soo big I dont think they will fit." My mother in law looked up at them and said " OH, THEY'LL FIT". Made me mad, but..... they did fit. lol...

    A coworker has a blog and another coworker told me about it and that I was in his blog. I was not happy he'd written about me, it was not very complimentary. Anyway at the end of the blog he says something like "she flashed her big brown eyes at me" and it just cracked me up. Now my friends make fun of me and tell me to stop flashing my big brown eyes lol.

    This JUST happend. I have a trainer, but am helping a friend build a business model so I stopped at the trainer area at the gym I go to to ask about pricing. It's winter here, so when I go to the gym I pull on a pair of my old sweats and a sweatshirt (both are from the days before I was anywhere near goal weight, so they are VERY big on me) over my running tights and tank. The trainer dude looked at me and said something along the lines of "well you have quite a bit of weight to lose so we could do a nutrition plan too", at first I got pissed, but then I just walked into the locker room and came out in my running cloths and smiled at him, his face made it all worth it and I just laughed my way to the treadmill.

    A few months ago I had to get glasses for work/reading and I spent forever picking out the frames because I thought every one looked horrible on me. Later that day when my husband got home he walked in and said "hey four eyes! Give me your lunch money!" I knew he was joking and eventually I laughed but I was like DON'T YOU ALREADY KNOW I FEEL LIKE A DORK

    Well this is kind of irrelevant but one time in high school this girl told me I had nothing to grab during sex because I lost my love handles (they were small to begin with). She said it in a rude way too because I guess she was jealous. It made me mad because she said it in front of a group of guys.

    OK, how about after the birth of my first child I went to buy new bras. My husband came along with me. Caution- this is a mistake! Never take your husband with you to buy bras. The saleslady came and asked can I help you? My husband replied "oh just give her a couple of pup tents"

    Comments from my passive-aggressive grandmother used to make me mad but now they just make me laugh.

    We arrived recently for a visit, and she said "I skipped dinner because I'm getting overweight." I suspect this comment was really aimed at me, but the thought of a woman who's pushing 90 (and perfectly healthy) worrying about her weight made me lol.

    My Grandma, a naturally slim woman all her life, used to make comments about my weight all the time. My favourite was when she asked if I needed to go shopping fr winter clothes and I said no, but come summer I'd need a whole new wardrobe. She said "Well, with any luck you'll have lost some weight by then, so you can buy something nice for once!". I was 30kg lighter than i am now and a size 14 at the time.

    I used to work at a hotel (back when I was 30 lbs heavier), and the lady who served breakfast in the mornings was a tiny, angry 60-year-old. When I was going around cleaning and vacuuming the lobby, I winced, because my knees were hurting. She asked if I was all right, and I told her, and her blunt response was:

    "Lose 20 pounds."

    I just laughed, but it did bother me at the time. However, now that I have lost more than that amount, my knees almost never hurt! So I guess she was right. :tongue:

    A few weeks ago, my precious Granny, who has always commented on my being "heavy", asked me, "Megan, have you lost anymore weight?" I replied, "Yeah, a little over 50 pounds total." As she kind of tugged on my skirt, she said, "Well, I don't see it in your body, but I see it in your face!"

    Thanks, Granny. Yeah, I've lost 54 pounds all from my face. :wink:

    I love that lady. :heart:

    During a photography session, a woman and I were waiting for her son to show up to take his 16yr photos. Well, she decided to make conversation.She patted my tummy and started off with, "Aw..when are you due?" I politely informed her that I wasn't pregnant. She attempted to save face by saying, "I understand, baby fat is so hard to lose, how old is your little one?" Trying not to sound angry, I told her that I have no children. I will never forget the face she made. She started grasping for an excuse with tears in her eyes and said, "Oh..you must know the Lord, because you absolutely glow. That must be why I thought you were pregnant." I was pretty annoyed at this point,so I told her, "No,it's because I'm fat. It's fine, I know." She was then determined to inform me that I'm "Just chubby." It didn't help that this woman was as thin as a rail.

    Honestly, that's only been about 2 pants sizes ago,but,thinking back on it, I feel a little worse for her since she still had to hang around for the entire session. She sent her husband to pick up the portraits. haha

    Before I started this process, I was getting my hair cut and asked my hair stylist to cut layers in my hair, starting at my chin. To which he replied, "Which one?"

    Friggin' douche nozzle is lucky he's my uncle! :laugh:
