Most embarrassing "fat" moment....

When I was in high school, people used to tell me I looked like Demi Moore in the movie, "About Last Night" Several years and pounds later my 4 year old son and I were in line at the grocery store and Rosie O'Donnell was on the cover of some magazine and my son said innocently, "wow, mom, that lady looks JUST like you!" sigh. wake up call.

Having to ask a lady to trade seats with me on the plane bk i didnt fit in the chair and the lady said it wasnt her fault i couldnt fit loud.
Broke a plastic chair at a party in Mexico.

I am a teacher, and we took the kids on a good behavior field trip to a splash pad...the kind of "concrete" playground with water features...There was one that was about 5 rings that any normal size person could scrunch down and "run" through and they got you wet.

I told a group of 3 girls, "come on, let's go through the rings." (I could fit, btw)... and one of my girls said, "No Miss Pennington, you're too fat!" And started laughing, and all three of them just belly laughed..

someone patting my belly and saying "my, you have put some weight on."

Mine was when I was getting fitted for a bridesmaid's dress for my brother's wedding, and was told that I had to pay more for "plus size". The lady was all *****y and snarky about it too...said it in front of about ten people. I wanted to either strangle her, or crawl under the table....

Going outlet shopping and realizing you dont fit into any of the clothes in any of the stores..... or going shopping with a friend who is gorgeous I found some cute clothes and then realized I was shopping in the plus sized section of the store....

When I was younger, maybe 8 or 9 we had a family reunion party where my cousins and I put on a show of sorts with singing and dancing, and skits. Anyways, I was doing a dance number and having a real good time when some one says to my mother, "Wow she is really good, you should put her in lessons!" to which my mother replies whilst I am in the middle of my performance, " No way, she's too fat!" Yea that was a lot of fun. Thanks mom! I heard every word and had to finish the song. I have also broken a chair, been informed that a store doesn't have my size, and been told that I am "too fat to ride the roller coaster." by a younger family member who had just viewed that particular episode of Family Guy if you are familiar.

having my friends kid ask me if there was a baby in my belly. i responded 'just a cheeseburger baby' lol

You should have said "I'll pay for the plus size AND a little extra to buy you some grace and 'saleperson' charm" Oh and don't you work on commission? I'll work with another salesperson now, thank you very much.

Wow. (sorry, I own a business and am married to a salesman - that's my bread and butter!)

I met my boyfriend's best friend, she looked straight at me and said "Oh, she's not your usual type".

I got turned down a bar job because I didn't have "The image that the bar was going for".

My friend's little brother asking why her legs aren't as big as mine (He's 6)

...your boyfriend's best friend sounds like a jealous *****.
just saying.

Yep, that's pretty much my story too... well, not exactly, but being mistaken for pregnant is. I was working in guest services alongside a pregnant colleague. She stepped out for a short while and I sat behind the computer to attend to the next guest. The woman said "oh wow, every time I come here there's a new pregnant girl, there must be something in the water"... I just glared at her until my colleague returned and said that SHE was the pregnant one (a slim girl, 6 months into her pregnancy) and the guest looked mortified. As I was embarrassed, I became somewhat *****y and kept making comments like "Oh, Kerry, can you please pass me that photocopying, my big pregnant belly doesn't like it when I stand up" - it was mean, but I hope it taught that woman to never assume again. I went home in tears that night

When I waited 3 hours in line for a rollar coaster ride and couldn't fit.

When my coworker was trying to see if a robe would fit on a resident at work. This was an obese resident (also my favourite person - she died not long ago). Coworkers were constantly rude and degrading, to her face and behind, about her weight - my boss is all about cost efficiency and will not allow two people to resident when one person can do it and will not invest in a hoyer lift- so we would have to lift this lady (about 350lbs) who was unable to help in movement from the bed to the toilet/shower/wheelchair on our own. I was good at this (brace my back, have her in the right position, lift and pivot - it's not rocket science) and so I normally got stuck with dealing with her. They were so mean about her weight that it made me uncomfortable most days and I was happy to work with her because she was a sweetheart and funny as hell. [for the record - for all their *****ing do you think this lady was on a special diet? Hell no.]

Anyway. The coworker was trying to see if this robe was big enough for her, and got me to try it on to see if it would fit me. It did, of course with extra size - but the implication was so blindingly obvious. I was upset.

My most embarrasing fat moment was when I realized just how fat I was. End of story.

While trying on a new skirt, my 4 year old daughter said "Momma, you look beautiful...just like a dancing hippo." She meant well, but it was definitely a turning point for me...

I arrived at a family get-together and the first words out of my uncles mouth were "You're fat now!"

Wow, nice.
