"You lost so much weight omg your so skinny you look so good but you have no *kitten* now"... UMMMMM STFU you blind? my *kitten* is the reason why i need 2 jean sizes bigger ok so im pretty sure its just the right size :drinker:0

An Indian co-worker: "You've gain-ed the weight!" In a congratulatory tone. I guess he thought that was a good thing being from a place where skinny isn't a fashion statement.0

OMG! I am sorry your mother is so cruel, you have my sympathy. Mine was the same way and I hope I am never so insulting to my kids.From my mom just this week: You looked really skinny today. That woman standing next to you on the hill was so fat, she'd make anybody look thin.0 -
Whenever I grow my hair out, my family says they liked it short. Whenever I cut it short, they say they liked it long. I have learned to stop listening to my family.0

A few weeks ago, a co-worker from another department said to me, "Wow. You look great. Why are you back so soon after having the baby?"
Uh, hello, I am not and was not pregnant, that was the OTHER girl in my department. I guess the compliment side would be that she's 15 years younger than I am, so it is good that I look young enough to be her, but dang, she outweighs me by a good 50-60 pounds!0 -
Not even really a compliment. I was talking to a woman about weight loss and another woman chimed in, "how much weight have you lost?" I think at the time I said 50lbs. She replied, "You haven't lost that much, have you?" Looking at her completely dumbfounded, the woman I was talking to replied "oh yes she has!" Made me feel like I don't look like I've lost that much. The topper was last week when she told me I didn't need to lose anymore weight and didn't want me to look sickly. I've got at most 70lbs more to go.0

My sweet fitness fanatic of a sister-in-law once said to me, "you're really pretty. You could look awesome if you got really toned! Why don't you do it? You should!"! Needless to say, I was ridiculously offended, despite the fact that I know she's a sweetheart and really wouldn't have meant it as an insult (I'm sure I could look awesome if I was toned, but that doesn't mean I don't look fine as I am!).0

You look great. For your age.
Haha, this. I'm trying to handle it with some grace...I wore a fabulous red dress to a party last night, and when a woman I'd just met complimented my outfit, her friend said "yes, great fashion shouldn't be limited to the young"! I bit my tongue, and replied "thank you, I so agree." I'm glad that I was only on my first glass of wine-loose lips sink ships.
I just turned 29, so I am starting to get this from teenagers and twenty year olds. "I hope I look as good as you when I'm 29." Ahhhh.... I'm not even thirty!0 -
after droning on and on about a dress sale. " Allison, im not telling you have to change your entire wardrobe. im just saying you should try and incorporate some more feminine things. i mean, you have a feminine hairstyle and sometimes wear lipstick *sigh* but so do transvestites." - my mom.
*laughs*
i still dress like a vagabond.
im cool with it. .
its all part of my charm.

Well, let's see....
"you're getting so thin, your husband is going to have to shake the sheets to find you"
"Sharon, it's ok to have a meal once in a while, you don't have to just waste away"
"miss no butt"
"she disappearing"
from my boss when I asked him if he was having ice cream "I don't know, I'm trying to do what you're doing"
These are just a few of many.0 -
"Your *kitten* could rival that of Nicki Minaj's, keep at it. *smiles idiotically*"
I hate my lower half -_-0 -
guy: "are you a fitness model??!!"
me: "no, why?"
guy: "Well, if you lost some more weight you could be."
me: "f**k off!!!"
yeah pretty insulting...i was pissed the whole day, and this is after i've already lost 20lbs0 -
When my ex-wife and I were dating I asked if she thought I was handsome. To which she said, "You're the funniest guy I've ever known".
Talk about an ego crusher LOL
LOL.

Not really a compliment, but a lot of these made me think of something from the other day.
Friend: I don't like the cold! Go away winter!
Me: Aww, I'm the total opposite, I love it.
Friend: Oh, I'm not fat enough to stay warm though.
Wow, thanks....0 -
My mother in law was talking to my new baby and said "you are sooo lucky, your dad is soo smart and your mom... well.. she's pretty"
All because I haven't finished school (I am 22 and have a semester to go, I am taking a little time off to stay home with my baby). I wasn't reading into the comment, she meant it. She told my husband I am also jealous of her beauty. (LOL...she's my mother in law??)0 -
Coworker... "Something's different... When did you shave your goatee?"
Me... "Two years ago."
Coworker... "Oh... Did you lose weight?"
Me... "Yeah, I did."
Coworker... "That must be it."
I think she was trying to be complimentary but I'm not quite sure...0 -
Conversation with mother in law ( I had lsot 30 pound at this stage) -
Mil - So are you going to start losing weight?
Me- Yep I have already started, have lost a bit and can even fit my engagement ring back on.
Mil - So you have just lost water weight.
Me - *silent*
(wish I would have thought of a comeback fast enough, like yeah dipsh*t, 30 pounds of water weight!)
She loves to make snide little comments in her loving voice, nobody notices except the person she is making the remark to.0 -
"You could have been a model if you hadn't of let yourself go"...gulp! :sad:0
-
My mum: Those jeans look lovely on you. Don't be too upset when you get too big for them again.
Thanks for the vote of confidence, mum! My mum is lovely, but sometimes it's like she totally fails to realise how you'll feel when she says something like that.0 -
Makes me laugh every time I think of it: "I thought that was you, but then I thought, 'No - that girl's too thin.'"0
-
You're so fat you can't even tell you're pregnant.0
-
I love you but....WHAT THE HECK! REALLY?0
-
"You'd be gorgeous if you were skinny." lol0
-
Not a backhand compliment, but regardless:
Me: *points at moms book with a buff *kitten* guy on the cover* That's my goal.
Mom:

"I mean, it's an impressive amount of sit ups you just did, but that's probably because you're less flexible from your back so it's easier."

Wow honey, her thighs are bigger than yours!0

Saw a couple old friends after I gained a bunch of weight in college:
"Oh hey, we heard you gained a bunch of weight....but you actually carry it really well!"
:ohwell:0 -
The first time I lost over hundred pounds, my dad looked at me when I was home from college and said you're almost not fat. Love him, but he doesn't always think before speaking.0
-
"You're getting too skinny now."
Say whaaaaat? It used to be that I was too fat. Now I'm too skinny? I don't see it.. Where's the middle ground?!0 -
"You are hot...for a black girl." Sad but true.
:O That's so rude!0
