Your child comes home from school and calls you plump because saying fat is mean and would hurt mommy's feelings.
Don't ya love that? My daughter said my belly was "squishy" more than once. And she has told me, in a restaraunt where we were at a table near another table that have several people who were on the heavier-side, that "sometimes fat people are funny looking." smh!
You try and teach them that we are all unique, and we come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, but yet this stuff comes out of their mouths!0 -
When you crop yourself out of all your pictures with friends.
When your uncle calls you chubby.
When your 22 month old sees you in a black and white dress and says you look like a cow.
When your mom constantly drops hints that you need to go to the gym.
When you can't play with your kids for more than 5 minutes because you run out of breath.
The list goes on but I am proud to say all of those are behind me now!0 -

I danced at my brother's wedding and my dad said "wow you dance real well and smooth despite how big you are and with those hips"....
Did he think my fatness would affect my rythm?0 -
Agree completely...
Would add
1. When guys have stopped asking you out on dates/flirting and the guys you are around are usually friends, coworkers or your friends' boyfriends.
2. When you don't even care about the reason above anymore because you feel invisible to the opposite sex.
3. When you feel almost guilty being in a group picture with a bunch of your pretty girl friends because you will ruin the picture.
4. When you no longer share clothes with your girlfriends.
5. You're nervous to try new things because your weight may actually restrict you, or at the very least you'll look awful doing the activity.
Oh my God, YES! Number three.... Holy crap...0 -

When you refer to yourself as "fluffy"
When you have to adjust the steering wheel all the way up but your belly still touches it.
When you joke about your fat to keep from crying
When you swear the doctor claims you're healthy but you haven't been to the doctor in years.
These are all things that I've noticed my mom does. It makes me sad but she won't do anything about it.
Last one: You know you're fat when your kids collaborate with each other to make sure no one buys you candy for Mother's Day.0 -

You have never worn a bikini in your life :sad:
you have no confidence in yourself :grumble:
my mom's favorite one when she was alive: "why can't you be like the cheerleaders or dancers on tv? Do you not want to be skinny and have guys flocking towards you?" :explode:
My Mom's response to me telling her that I was going to change my eating habits and start exercising was "Great! You always lose weight so fast. You also gain weight fast though." Ouch:noway:
Family members are always the harshest critics... besides ourselves. They always think they can get away with saying something painful because they are family and we should just.. accept it...0 -

You collect other "fat friends" so you can make "fat friends jokes" and make skinny people uncomfortable at how jolly you are - True Story
Total strangers call you "Big Guy" "Big Man" "Haus"
I was the best man and a friend's wedding. My buddy was a big guy and so was most of the other guys, but me and the groom were the biggest. Anyway, the minister (who he thought himself a stand-up comedian) gets up there and says, "Wow... take a look at these guys!! I've got an entire defensive line up here, with me. Can you imagine the amount of fabric it took to make these suites for the guys!?!?!" Luckily, my back was to the crowd, because the crowd would've seen my face straining to suck in my back fat.....0 -
