From my dad: "whats all this cheesecake" as he grabbed my love handles
From my ex boyfriend "i thought you worked out" as he grabbed my belly.
No grabbing >.>0 -
True! I live on the southside of Chicago too and my mom used to be very skinny so she was more particularI don't think my mother has ever said anything beyond "It looks like you've put on some weight" And she's the only one who would. I am so looking forward to Christmas when I see her and I've lost more weight than I already have.
I live on the "South Side" of Chicago where it's common to see Curvy and larger women...though I haven't had any random guys stop and tell me how gorgeous my curves are in the past few years
Guess I just got lumpy instead of staying curvy0 -
Ugly and "the big one."0

We call out 7 month old son Fatty McFatFat LOL!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
Might wanna rethink that before he understands what it means.0 -
1) "Parvatham" - It means 'a really wide mountain' in our local language
2) Baby Elephant
3) Pumpkin head
These are the three names I can remember now. Ofcourse, then there is "fatty"0 -

No I wont rethink it because I am going to tell my kids straight out that being a size doesnt make you ugly or attractive etc. it is about perception. Plus they are being home schooled so I will have built all that self esteem up before he is out in the world much even. Also, even if he is thin I will call him Tubzy because that is his nickname and he will know he was a tubby adorable baby. Who doesn't love a fat baby with little rolls? Lol I also sing the rolly polly some someone mentioned. He falls asleep to it.0 -
I'm sorry that person was so rude! It is difficult enough to be pregnant and feel fat without people being so rude. I want Pudding now?When I was slim in High School I got called Midget, Skinny ***** and Tits on A Stick all the time.
Now that I'm chunky I been called Oompa Loompa, Christmas Pudding, "as wide as you are tall". Oh the joys of being short and fat.
Then there was the obnoxious teenage boy who yelled out of his car "you don't need to go there you tubby fat-*kitten* *****". It was the day before my c-section and I was going into McDonalds to use the toilet. After wiping away my tears in the loo I went and bought a coffee and muffin from the McCafe to "cheer myself up", lol.
What gets me is the amount of larger people who think that it's ok to call you fat names just because they're fat too.
It's NOT ok with me.

In grade 5 a boy at school called me a fat pig, i went home and cried for days and refused to go to school.
My old netball team had two people called abbey so i was known as 'big abbey' and she was known as 'little abbey' we were basically the same height.
I was sexually assaulted when i was younger and when my sister found out she said 'but who would want to touch you?'
I was upset at my dad for some reason last year and when he came to talk to me about it all he said was ' are you crying because of your weight?'
The many many times people have yelled out the generic fat names out of their cars
Oh and just the other day my mums ex boyfriend called me a fat slut.
My ex boyfriend set up a facebook page called 'Abbey is a fat whale'
My last boyfriend and i were laying in his bed with err..not so many clothes on and he said to me 'You have nice curves' while he ran his hand down my side. It was actually a compliment but i got so upset about it.
My weight has always been the thing thats gotten to me most, even when i was thin. I'll always remember these times and ill use them as my motivation.
This is the worst I've read and nearly made me tear up for you. xoxo You are one strong person to deal with all of it. I would love to add you if it's okay. :] It is an inspiration just that you worked through all of that because my husband struggles a lot with the torment and names he was called when he was little.0 -
Chicken legs.
...crap, they still call me that. 0 -
My mom used to call me "big boy" I don't know why but that one was painful. Now she has to eat those words everytime she sees me.0

Just reading through these comments makes me so very sad!
Especially by the moms that would say hurtful things. Being a mom, I would never ever say anything hurtful towards my kids. Moms are supposed to be the ones that "love you no matter what shape you are"!
When I was younger I was called Thunder Thighs, when I think back on it now, I did have very large legs, BUT that was because I was in swim team and I used them an aweful lot!! My waist was tiny! we are talking like 19"! I had a very hour glass figure.
In my 20's I always viewed this as a bad thing. I had my first child when I was 21 and my second when I was 29. The births of my children never made me put weight on. It was other factors in life. ONE huge one was not feeling like I was attractive because of others perception on me.
I have realized that no matter what anyone says, the only thing that matters is how I truly feel about myself! I was 211 and was fine with myself, I was working out 6 days a week and felt great! Now I am 19 pounds less and still feel great everyday!
Today I can say I love me, a lot of it has to do with my energy level, but also it has a lot to do with how I view myself!0 -
AUGUSTUS ..... AS IN GLOOP, which really was a wake up name!
the name still gets bouced but only off a certain poisonous person in work - he just gets ignored
TYRONE - the gettaway driver in lock,stock & 2 smoking barrels0 -
Larda and Larva (my name is Lara). As a kid my mom would look in the garbage can to see what I had eaten that day and my dad told me I was so fat and ugly that I would never find a man that would love me. Mom was obese. hmm projection?? Dad had issues with her, obviously. I cut judgemental and cruel mom out of my life. Dad is hanging by a thread. Cutting them out cut a lot of the weight off. Still hurts, but I live with it. 0

My parents have always said 'you take after your dad big boned' (more like my dad is fat! Cause my mum is always buying him cakes and now he is diabetic!) but my school friends use to say fatty bum bum0

I grew up in Southern California. The body image ideal there is seriously f'd up!!! "I'm so fat" comes out of every single girls mouth several times a day. It is really sick actually. I felt so judged as a child. I live in Denmark now and people let you live as is and do not judge. It feels so good to be free to be me here. This is the first time I have ever felt safe enough to lose weight and keep up with being healthy for myself. I am stubborn and cannot be pushed or shamed into anything!!.I have to be ready before anything sticks. It should be about health and not looks anyway, and people should be encouraged instead of made fun of. There are a lot of bad people in this world, I am not living in my mom's fantasy world that everyone is pretty much good. The worst ones are the ones who shame their own children instead of supporting them and living by setting the good example. My kids will never have weight issues because I love them unconditionally and feed them right and I teach them how to eat right and exercise not by preaching but by doing it myself, imagine that. Just because you are thin doesn't mean you are healthy, and if you eat like crap it will catch up to you eventually.0

It has nothing to do with being fat. But "dumb/stupid" hurts me every time someone uses it.
I'm not stupid. Far from it. But in social situations, I may seem that way because of Asperger's Syndrome and ADHD. I guess it says more about the people who use such words, but it gets to me. Bah.0 -
By my dear sister, (who incidentally was twice as large as me at the time :huh: ) "Here comes Miss Roly Poly".
I had great pleasure in donating some of my fat clothes to her earlier this year :devil: Mwahahahaha!0 -
That is horrible and obviously untrue.
For me no specific name, but someone who said "Kap ate all the pies!" I don't normally swear at people, but he was only a loose acquaintance, and that hurt, so i told him to F off.
Oh the one specific name which will turn me into the Hulk and destroy you, unless you are bigger than me in which case, I'll just get beaten up "Paki""Worthless-good-for-nothing-irresponsible-piece-of-****"
That....that pretty much sums it up.
:sad:0 -

Amazon Queen...... ooohit just burns my *kitten* when i still hear that from my vertically challenged sisters!!!!!0

lets see
"fat f**cker"
"big guy" (I'm 5'6" max)
"big boned"
"fat white honkey mother f**cker *kitten*" I can only change the first part and assure you that the last part is unture, all the rest is in the eye of the beholder.0 -
I was never called any names, in my country that just doesnt happen, ppl may tal behind your back, but no one will ever hurt your feelings in that way, reading all the stories above, made me very thankful for the kind considerate ppl here. we also dont have bullies in schools, i only saw that on TV.
The only person who really hurts me about being fat, is my mother, and its always something very indirect. we are moslims and we are not supposed to wear tight revealing clothes, but my skinny sister can always get away with that, and if i talk to my mother she will say my sister has nothing to reveal. she is not flat, i actually think she has a perfect body. She gets to go with my mother to weddings and soicial events, and we stay behind :laugh: we are 4 girls 2 fat, and 2 skinny, only bcoz they can eat double what we eat and never gain a single pound. both my parents are fat. My mother hates fat ppl, even if it was on TV she has to say something not nice, i guess thats her way of telling us we need to lose weight, she can not be on a diet for half a day, and when we go on a diet we always come home to find fatty foods waiting for us.
In my country, when someone want to describe someone as fat, they say he is healthy :laugh:0 -
Lard *kitten* and beach whale hurt the most for me.0

Im in shock and dismayed that anyone would call another these names!! Please tell me it's not people in your family or close friends? I cant imagine associating with anyone that would talk to another in this manner. I dont even know what to say really.
It's ridiculous that anyone thinks they can talk to or about someone like this. It is the epitome of disrespectful and rudeness at its most disgusting.
Im sorry people treated any of you in this way. Its just wrong on so many levels.0 -
The worst one I can recall was from elementary and it wasn't a name, it was a sentence. "You're so ugly, why don't you just kill yourself."0
-
I know everyone has to find different ways to motivate themselves - but personally, I do not think meditating on any time someone was hurtful to you is the healthiest way to do it.
"Fat" or not - anyone calling you names is plain and simple, a bully - and does not deserve any recognition. You should learn to love yourself at any size - and if you need to make a change to your weight/lifestyle, etc, do so for only the right reasons; to have a longer, healthier and more fulfilling life - not because someone was an *kitten* to you.
No matter what you do, don't do, look like, don't look like, etc there will always be someone there ready to **** on it, because that is just how mean and nasty some people are. So why even waste a second thinking about it or giving them any attention?0 -
"pregnant"0
-
well I only tended to get hassle from neds, whose insults mostly revolve around being gay. Also they get jealous of people with a girlfriend.
So when I was fat(ter) they would call me "a poof" despite the fact I was the one with the girl. Bizarre...0
