Mines are: 'Fat Girl' and "Bubulups" ( a name for really fat ppl in my country)

    , "big and brawny girl" was my favorite hahaha. My mom described me to someone that way in a grocery store, trying to prove she didn't need help with groceries. I was horrified and tried to laugh it off but wanted to cry hahaha.
    As far as names I have been called "big Sara" (singling me out from skinny and normal size Sara apparently) and fatty fatty two by four....along with the rest of the jingle that goes along with it.
    I am sure there more creative ones I can't recall

    Does Fatty Mc-Fat-Fat count if it's used by a close friend and makes me laugh and always gets me to work out?? lol

    My personality always seemed to make up for it....never called names - except when my daughter told me I was Fat haha

    my mom spent so much time calling me thunder thighs and hippo hips as a child I had no idea that i was actually thin in high school until I got seriously fat as an adult and took a look at some old pictures. I wasted my skinny youth thinking I was a fat girl and I'm kind of pissed about it. I told my mom a few weeks back and she said we only called you that because you were so strong...WTF?

    When I was in Jr high (6-8th grade), there was this boy that used to tease the hell out of me and I would just ignore him. I was tall and curvy but definitely not fat (when I was 21 I got fat) and he would call me terrible things. One name that stuck out to this day (we're talking 20+ years later) was Jasmine. As in Jasmine the pig from Doc Hollywood with Michael J Fox. Another name he called me was Twin Towers because my good friend was bigger. I never saw him after 8th grade...the kid ended up getting his butt kicked and went to a private school.

    * Being referred to as "a big girl"
    * Someone congratulating me on the baby (I have never been pregnant)
    * Being told "you know, it's really obvious how much you've gained. It doesn't look good."


    ...among other hurtful conversations...


    Back in high school, I once went from 134 to 111 in one month, after being told "looks like you should start doing sit-ups again." That wasn't a healthy loss but d@mn I was motivated and determined!

    Ive had people yell "Fat *kitten*" or "Wide Load" out of car windows or stick a wide load sticker to my butt

    I think the worst was when we learned in 6th grade about the Spanish armada and my name is Amanda... so the rest of the year everyone said I was as big as an armada and called me that.

    "muffin top" and "flabby" are the 2 that come straight to mind /:

    Not for being fat, just for being odd (in grade school and middle school): cootie, queer, ugly, stupid. I was even spit on once.

    It didn't cure me. I'm still odd.

    * Thunder Thighs
    * Moink (This one was created my my stepfather and he even had it written on one of my birthday cakes)


    I don't recall any others except for just being called fat. But the above names ironically were just used by my stepdad. he is an evil man and I hope he rots in hell someday.

    Wow...we could have the same mother! LOL

    Same here...slightly chubby as a child, then thin in HS, but always told I was fat. Then really gained weight after my kids were born.

    As soon as I hit puberty I got really busty, I'm talking from flat chested to C cup in a summer at age 11. My dad thought it was a great joke to call me Dolly (Parton). I got good grades throughout school, so he liked to greet me when I came in the door by shouting NERD!! (like Norm from Cheers) I was also very short, and another favorite nickname of his for me was Duck Legs. None were truly weight related but they still stick with me 20+ years later. Gotta love parents.

    I was never fat, but quite the opposite - stick thin. When I was younger I had the body of a 10 year old boy, I swear.

    My last name begins with cap..so kids in school changed cap to gap and pronounced my last name that way.

    They said gap because I had the...wait for it...thigh gap! I hated it!!! Cracks me up to read the "I WANT A THIGH GAP SO VERY BADLY" threads because I wanted nothing more to be rid of mine.

    :sad:

    some girls I used to be friends with (obvious why I'm not anymore!) used to make whale and walrus noises behind a girl in high school that was a bit larger /: and try to put the words in any sentence they said to her. It was horrible, she thought they were friends with her. Now I stay in touch with her but am wayyy more than through with them!!
    (these were the same girls who called me muffin top and thought i didn't know ¬_¬)

    A kid in 7th grade called me a fat *kitten*. I've also been referred to as big-boned, sturdy, etc. and other things that really mean fat. But that fat *kitten* one...I still want to stomp on that guy's face while wearing spiked stiletto heels. He also threw up once and some of it got on my pants...and then people made fun of ME even though I wasn't the one that yakked all over the classroom.
