What's the meanest thing someone said to you?

The speaking scales I bought said:

"one person at a time please"

I'm soooo sorry but I have to admit that cracked me up. I think in the store I would have done something like this: "hahahahahaha! ...... ohhhhhhhhh......."

What size are you?

I answered, "does it matter you still can't handle it"

love this !

I was at work one day (nurse at a hospital) A co-worker and I were having a discussion about plastic surgery, I mentioned if I could ever afford plastic surgery I would get a tummy tuck, though I was just a little over weight my abdominal skin was stretched out bad from my 2 pregnancies and riddled with stretch marks. My co-worker didn't believe me, so we went into the med room and I briefly lifted my shirt to show her why, she was like whoa...that is bad. Then she proceeded to tell my boyfriend who worked on another unit that my stomach was DISGUSTING and how could he be with me? A few months later I had my tummy tuck, I was hurt, emotional, and felt truly disgusting after that comment. I went through several months of pain and recovery, was it worth it in the end? Yes, would I do it again? Probably, but I had to learn to love myself and not care what anyone else thinks. I may not be perfect to some, but to me I'm perfect. There are some really mean f*cked up people in this world, but I believe in Karma.

If you don't like what people say then change your lifestyle to a more healthy one and lose the weight.

^RUDE! Obviously this thread is on MFP because these people ARE trying to lose the weight, DUH! If you don't have a story to add or positive words of wisdom, STFU!!!

1. Put down the food, your face is starting to look like a balloon
( one of my teachers said this)
Proved her wrong

One of the guys I played pick-up soccer with from time-to-time said, "What happened to you, man? Too many burgers and fries?" I hadn't played with him in a few months. My answer was and honest, "yes," but I definitely didn't see it coming. Haha. It motivated me, that's for sure…

My exhusband said, "I don't like being around you and our kid because you're fat and she has autism."...Yeah, as I said ex husband and our kid does not have autism she has a muscle disorder.

Recently, my biggest cut was this very website's BMI calculator. It said my BMI was 33 which is "Obese". Obese? ohhhhhh I thought I was just overweight. :-( boooooooo!

Anyway, I'm new here, and I'm really really impressed with the progress so many of you have made. You're all my heroes, keep up the great work! I'll get there too!.....hopefully! lol

There's a funny quote in the video game Portal 2.. The robot named Glados says "if you want to upset a human, just say that their weight variance is above or below the norm"

Haaaaaaaa. I remember that!

Where do I begin???

When I was an over weight child about 10 years old, I went to sit down at the dinner table and my brothers made Earth quake jokes and my parents laughed. That's pretty hurtful for a child.

I have been told by guys who I had serious crushes on "You have a pretty face but I don't date fat chics".

After having my first child, I was home from the hospital maybe 3 weeks, my mother in law came to me and told me that my husband was not finding me attractive and I should workout. I just had a new baby and a c-section. My mother in law has made these remarks to me before this was not the only time, just the first time. She's told me I have to pretty of a face to be so fat. My kids are going to be embarrassed to be seen with me because no one wants a fat mommy. She didn't use the word fat but over weight. Let's call it what it was, obese.

Then right before I decided to really change for the better, my husband and I got into a huge fight. I told him I wanted to go see a weight loss doctor, I needed support in a way that no one else seems to get around me. He told me I didn't need support, I needed to get off my fat lazy *kitten* and just do something about it.

Back in 2010 when I was pregnant with my daughter, I lost 70 lbs due to Gestational Diabetes, my cousin told me that I was starving my baby, I could not be losing so much weight while pregnant that it was not healthy. She told me that my baby was too small and I was a horrible mother for doing such things to myself while pregnant. She said that she had never heard of losing weight while pregnant that she should call CPS on me because I was taking being fat out on my baby and making her suffer. All I know is she is lucky she was 1000's of miles away from me or she would have been the one I put serious damage on.

Was told by a few people that I'd gain all my weight back after pregnancy with my daughter. I gained 25.5 but have lost 75.5 since then. So who showed them???

I honestly would love to see the guys I use to crush on in high school now. I am not fat anymore, I'm actually ideal weight for my height, I still have 10lbs to go to hit my goal weight but I am not fat anymore.

Two come to mind.

Playing softball 5 or 6 years ago, the team was coming up with nicknames for everyone that didn't already have one. Someone decided my nickname should be "Lump"..

More recently, I met my wife's dad for the first time. Understand he is a disabled vet and mentally not all there. But walking into his hospital to meet him for the first time, the first words out of his mouth were "Oh, a heavy set man..."

Not weight related...

My senior year of highschool, the last day of school before Spring Break.... My POS car breaks down on the way to school.
My little brother and I are stranded on the side of the road and have to walk home. Luckily we didn't have that far to walk.
I'm crying because well....my car is broke down and I had plans to spend the week at a beach house with 4 girl friends. This was my first Spring Break 'away' and I had been saving up money for this. I get home and I'm talking to my mom to try to figure out how I am going to tow my car and get to school that morning. She's getting dressed to go pick up her boyfriend from the bus stop. She dated A LOT back then. She pretty much tells me that I have to figure out how to tow my car because she has more important things to do. I start crying again...because this is my mom's typical reaction to everything, it's not HER problem. She stops, looks me in the eye and says, "You are the most selfish person I know!". Then she leaves. My boyfriend at the time towed my car for me and my girl friends let me ride along with them during Spring Break. Unfortunately, what my mom said has stuck with me ever since. Needless to say, my mom and I don't have the best relationship and a lot of things she's said has stuck. The funny thing is....I wasn't even a demanding child. I pretty much was self sufficient from 12 years old. Oh, her and the guy broke up that week. Go figure.

Weight related....

I can't really think of anything specific other than the random person asking me if I was pregnant when I was not. Or when people would say, "You have such a pretty face!". I did hear of family members talking behind my back about my weight and how I had let myself go. It hurt. But I got revenge in the best way!

My grandma, very recently, put her arms around me and proudly said to her sister, "fat people have the best personalities."

Gram, love her with all my heart, is in her 90's and is suffering from age related dimentia + alzheimers. I of course forgive her because I know she said it with love in her heart, but damn that was embarassing. lol. Her sister, who's even older than she is, started sputtering & denying that I was overweight. This cut me to the bone on a number of levels: 1) The person who's always had my back in this life is losing herself; 2) I'm the fattest person in our family, and it's not excaping anyone's notice.

Otherwise I haven't had a ton of experience with jabs about my weight (outside of my dad's "you're beautiful for a big girl" or "we could all stand to lose a few pounds" observations) -- I've always gone on the defensive with people, exuding a "don't *kitten* with me about my weight" vibe.

so sorry to hear that so many people have had horrible things said to them by their mothers and parents that breaks my heart. i hope you all can someday realize your worth

Right after my daughter was born (25 yrs ago!) a "friend" took one look at her and said, "She has your husband's temperament, what a blessing.".
