Most embarrassing "fat" moment....

When I was 16 and a lot smaller, my stepdad stopped me in the hallway and said: no guy is ever going to love you if you look like that. I was shocked and bottled up the bitterness/anger from that. He would also comment on my eating all the time. If we were out somewhere he would glare at me and watch me eat. He would sigh heavily if what I was eating was not what I should have been eating in his mind. He would always say: Are you sure you should be eating that? I think you've had enough.

I dated a guy for a little bit and he saw a picture of me from a few years ago in Hawaii. He looked closely at it and announced: Wow you were so much skinnier then! My eyes got big and I walked away. As soon as he was done saying that he realized what he had said and said he was sorry over and over. I knew he was right...still hurt though.

I like to go out with friends sometimes and I've had this happen once or twice where I'll be minding my own business and one or two guys will come up to me and pretend to flirt with me. Then they go back to their group of friends and laugh about it. Or they'll be sitting in a group and I walk by with my friend when they'll stop me and point to another one of their guy friends and say: hey, he wants to date you or something to that effect. Then they all laugh about it. I mean...why would you do this?

I went to the zoo with my friend and we were walking out to the parking lot to get back to my car. The car next to mine had two people sitting in it and as I went to open my driver's side door to get in, they started reversing the car. I kind of made a face like why are you pulling out now when you see me about to get into my car and closed my door so it wouldn't hit their mirror. Then I hear the passenger's side window roll down and a lady yells out: we were backing out so you could get into your car you fat *kitten*!

on my birthday some guy called out of his car 'you're fat'. my friend pretended she didnt hear (which i'm actually thankful for, i was always too embarrassed by my weight that i never wanted to talk about it) and proceeded to buy me a coffee.

way to ruin a birthday..

People are such jerks!! I had that happen to me when I was out JOGGING (hello I'm trying to do something about it!) but on your birthday?? That's rough.

When I was in middle school boys would come up to me and ask me out on dates.
They would immediately run over to their little packs of friends and laugh and point at me.
It was a little game they liked to play and they did it nearly every day.

When a co-worker asked me in a meeting with 8 other people, "Are you pregnant or just bloated?" Worst day ever!

I am already built like a pro-wrestler at 6'3 and relatively thin at 240lbs but imagine me now at 326lbs. I had the horrible rollercoaster moment last month. I am often too tall in the torso for alot of rides but at this one, it was simply the size of my rear end. LOL. I can't have that happen next season.

The worst though, for me, is sweating. Since I put all this weight on, I notice I sweat constantly. It's embarassing to look like you've just run a marathon when you actually just walked down the street.

On my sons first day of kindergarten the teacher had the kids down on the mat talking to them about this or that and out of the blue my son told that she was fat just like his mom....i think we both wanted to crawl into a hole.

another time when we were at wal-mart my son told the ppl behind us that "his mom has too much body fat" I thought i was going to die.

I've been reading these for the last couple of days! Heartbreaking!

A couple of years ago, I was out shopping for Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom dresses with my daughter and her soon to be Mother in Law. Both of them are size 2. I was a 14-16 at the time.

I was having a hard time finding a dress and my daughter was trying to help. We were in one of those stores where one side was regular and the other was plus. She picked out a dress from the plus side and handed it over into my dressing room and said "Here Mom - this is a 16 Wide - it might fit better! (she thought the dresses were like shoes and the W meant wide) - Maybe it does...

Later that afternoon, her and her future Mother in Law were trading size 2 dresses back and forth in a different store while I sat on the bench holding the bags.... I was so sad that day.

When the biggest size clothing I had ever even tried to fit into (as a joke from a friend) turned out to be too small on me, and the look on my friends' faces when they realised at the same moment as me how much weight I'd put on. Mortifying doesn't even cover it.

The most embarrassing moment for me (caused by my weight) was not one, but three evens occurring in the same day. It was my little brother's birthday and my family, him and some friends of his were going to the local amusement park. We first got there and were told to step on the scale at the entrance to get weighed for our all day wrist band passes saying that we could ride all the rides. Everyone stepped on individually and moved on... then came me. I stepped on the scale and the man working the machine motioned over to his fellow employees to come over and they smirked at me while trying not to laugh hysterically. I knew what they were going to say,but I certainly did not want to believe this was actually happening to me. That's when the man told me that I was under their weight limit by 3 pounds for one of the rides and he told me not to eat anything too heavy before a ride or at all that day for that matter. My family tried to be supportive, but my little brother and his friends began laughing and teased me about it that entire day, referring to me as Biggin'. While at the amusement park I went to the restroom where they had a scale that took quarters. I wanted to see how much I weighed because I had not had a scale a home at that time. So, I put in my fifty cents and stepped on. One by one people began to crowd around to watch the obese teenager weigh herself. Some people were even arrogant enough to take pictures of me on the scale. I stepped off and ran back to the group. On our way home we stopped at the outlet mall where we could buy some back to school clothing. My brother and his friends agreed that it was appropriate for us to shop at Aeropostale. We get into the store and I head toward the jeans. I look for my size as the store employee (a size zero) approaches me. She asks what size I am looking for and I tell her. Then she giggles and says they don't carry clothing for heavy set people. I rush out and wait for everyone else to finish their shopping and I am forced to explain the situation to everyone in the car on the way home. They just laugh along as my little brother and his friends call me Biggin' again.

*bookmarked.

My most embarrassing moments has to be the carnival/amusement park rides. I barely fit on one and that when I stopped going to amusement parks with friends. I was 17 at the time. That's ALL my friends wanted to do. So due to my weight and fear, I missed fun opportunities. Now, 21, I would love to go with my BF and his daughter (3) to a carnival or amusement park but fear I would be the one who gets to just stand and watch.

Bump

my doctor thought i might have worms because of the strange marks on my stomach.
she was a new doctor it was her first week.
they were just my stretch marks.

OMG where did that doctor go to school or get her degree that she didn't know what a stretch mark was???

Well there is the common courtesy aspect of allowing room for the other vehicle to open his door so he can drive home. If the OP couple used your strategy the first driver would have been stuck.

That's assuming the driver of the other vehicle was overweight.

I took my kids to see a rodeo in a coliseum and not only could I not fit my butt between the old armrest, I cut my jeans on it. In the end, I managed to squeeze myself into what felt like a trap and I had one son on each side of me....they were thin and didn't need all of their seats, but I knew I had cut my pants and I just died inside.

Then there was the time a friend sent me a picture she took at a horse show we had gone to and when I looked at it, I recognized a friend of ours, but not the absolute grotesquely obese woman standing next to him.....and then realized that was actually me. If you go to my profile and look at my pictures, that picture is the one with the horse in the picture. I cried like a baby when I saw it, but that was the moment I sucked it up and took control. The day I saw that picture was the day I started on my weight loss journey.

I have been single for 10 years now following a bad marriage and even worse divorce! A few years ago I was talking to someone who I thought was a friend and saying how much it upset me to still be single. She said it "must be hard at your age to be big and a plain jane" and maybe my doctor could" change the way I look and then men might be interested."
