    "Thank god you're losing weight- you're so much prettier now" Uhhhh, thanks douchenozzle.

    O em gee. Don't cry! This person's comment was VERY uncalled for. As soon as I read it, I heard exactly how it was said. People are so rude!

    Some people can't read tone through text. Don't trip off them!

    Here's a conversation between me and my boyfriend about my weight loss

    Him: "You've lost so much weight you look like a lesbian!"
    Me: "How exactly does losing weight make me look like a lesbian?"
    Him: "Well, your pants are getting really baggy and hanging off your butt."
    Me: "You do realize that not all lesbians wear big pants, right?"
    Him: "Well, yeah. But, my mom's a lesbian, and she wears big pants!"

    :laugh:

    baaaahahahahah That is awesome.

    Happened just this Sunday. Saw a lady I hadn't seen in about 4 years. We are around the same age. 40's. She says OMG you look so good. I almost didn't recognize you... Wow!!

    From my gyno: "The weight loss is great for the outside of your body, but I wish you could see what your cervix looks like now. It'll make it even more worthwhile..."

    Ahem... yeah.

    I haven't had any weird comments about weight loss, but a doctor told me I had a really nice uterus! :noway:

    Lol :) I haven't had any weird comments that I can recall about losing the weight...I do remember my Gran saying many years ago in my earshot 'she's put on weight round her bum, she must be on the pill' O.o She didn't mean it badly, I don't think, she was just very plain speaking. I was hurt by it at the time though, it was when I'd just started to put on a load of weight. I just turned round and said 'like you are always saying, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all!' and I never heard anything else about it ;)

    But, going back to what I 'quoted', I have been told during an ultrasound scan that I have the nicest pancreas the radiographer had ever seen. That actually made me pretty happy, lol.

    I also recently put some weight back on. Last year, I had got pretty trim & when I separated, I went through some trial times, started working full-time etc....

    My grandmother (lovely little thing that she is) has always had a "hang-up" about "fat people". She ALWAYS comments, even if she doesn't know the person. It's ridiculous.

    Anyways, I was at a BBQ & she said to me "so, you're trying to lose weight again eh? Good, you need to, because you're getting a spare tire around your waist again"

    really? REALLY?
  • You are about the size of my 12 year old daughter...and your neck is sooo skinny how does it hold up your head and all that hair?

    No self respecting business man will ever be interested in you because you're overweight, divorced and come with baggage. (my son)



    Now here's the clincher - that was my own mother that said that. Mmhmm. Yeah.

    The other day at a children's birthday party a lady said to me, "You are wasting away. Well, everything except your boobs." In front of everyone including her father. awkward

    WTF?!?!?! I'm so glad that you are my friend, and so glad that you found MFP. I want to reach out and give you a big hug!
    but you know what? GOOD! Maybe instead of a stuffed shirt business man with no time for fun cuz he works too much, maybe you could find a self made millionaire that takes all of your family on super trips and busy you lavish gifts and might just forget to invite your mom but sends her a post card from Hawaii at Christmas! :laugh: Now THAT would be awesome!

    The weirdest one I've had is " I bet you'll be glad when your youngest is old enough to go to school then you can just skip meals instead of counting calories to keep the weight off!!" I didn't even bother replying to that lol just smiled in a confused way and walked off.

    The other I get is I'm wasting away or getting to thin! If you look at my pic (I'm the one on the left) I'm definitely not wasting away.

    Oh and just the other day I got "oh your really not big boned!!"

    Weirdest comment: "You're starting to get too skinny. We might have to start shopping in the little girl's department for you." Another comment I got was: "You have lost so much weight that you sort of resemble a bobble-head now."

    She actually said it to me when I was 60lbs lighter then I am now, so it has stuck with me for a few years. Total mind f**kery. She seems to forget she used to weigh 270lbs. But she is very ill right now with Alzheimers and Parkinsons as well as MS & Lupus and has basically wasted away to nothing, so I'm going to cut her some slack. Very little slack, mind you, but slack nontheless.

    Glad I met you too Amber! <3

    Alzheimer's can be so hard for family. I was an Alzheimer's care giver for nearly a decade. :cry: I'm sorry.
    Still hard to swallow from a mom though... :flowerforyou:

    Some of these are crazy. Mine was from a friend of my Mom's: Honey you have done so well losing but you have lost enough because you don't want to get an illness like cancer and not have alot of fat on your body and then you will waist away quicker...WTH??? :huh:

    "Thank god you're losing weight- you're so much prettier now" Uhhhh, thanks douchenozzle.

    Hmm.. I would take that as a huge compliment.

    Usually I would.....I guess it was just the tone in their voice as they said it.... felt more like 'you are so pretty now' ...as if I wasn't before. *shrug*

    **also the "thank god" seems kind of uncalled for to me. This was someone I don't really know, just pass by on occasion going to work
    Totally agree, I'd be kind of offended as well. Basically calling you out for being ugly or something? Tf?

    Couple of years ago I lost a lot of weight (training and running) and I got two strange comments:

    - Who are you having an affair with? You look like you are glowing from "new love"!
    - Do you have cancer?

    Both were a surprise and a shock!

    Do you have cancer? LOL

    You're quite pretty for a redhead!

    or

    I remember you when you were young - I never thought you'd turn out to be so pretty

    or

    (following a hospital procedure) you have a really beautiful bladder.

    This wasn't said to me, but my twin sister (fraternal). My grandfather both wrote us poems for our high school graduation. In his poem to my sister he wrote something along the lines of "when you were young, I thought you quite homely, now you are grown, you look...." (something more complimentary that rhymed, I don't remember what she is now). He didn't understand why she didn't look too pleased with the poem. :noway:
