    "She's really pretty, for a black girl." -- said by a guy I was interested in dating (he wasn't black).

    "Dang! Don't get me wrong, you were cute before, but I can't stop looking at you now! You look amazing! Dang!" -- said by one of my best guy friends (it was his first time seeing me since the 40 pound weight loss)

    one of my daughters friends, who is 26 told her...I think your mom is awesome. If she lost 100 lbs i would date her.. would that bother you?

    i laughed my butt off when i heard that... first off im 48..secondly i would HAVE to lose 100 lbs for the honor of dating a 26 year old, unemployed guy that maybe weighs 125 soaking wet... hmmmm lol

    My little sister: I don't like going shopping for pants because it just makes me feel fat when I have to try on a size 9 or 10...
    Me: ...I'm a size 9 or 10
    Little sister: ...yeah but it looks good on you...
    Me: Who told you what size is beautiful....*kitten*..

    My older sister: You have no shape now...

    My friend: You got so tiny!...You're boobs are gone!!!

    Co-worker: Wow your hair looks better like that! It makes your face look less fat.

    Guy at Bar: I think you're very attractive because I don't like skinny girls.

    I would like to say this is a mother's joke.... When my kids are being obnoxious I will say this to them. It has absolutely ZERO to do with their looks and more to do with the attitude. Could this be the case with you mom?

    I'm sure alot of the ladies who've struggled with weight most of their lives can relate to this one:

    "You have such a pretty face."

    The implication is, "You have such a pretty face, too bad that doesn't matter since you're fat."

    Was that an attempt to make you feel "special" because you are an exception to his "rule"? What a dope!

    My mom gives me backhanded compliments all the time.

    "You'd be the prettiest girl in our family if you were skinny."
    "You've lost weight, now you better keep at it."
    "That dress looks nice on you, are you still on your diet?"

    etc.

    Some guy showing off in front of his mates asks me "when is the baby due?"
    My reply was "I can lose weight anytime but you can't lose Ugly."
    I'm naturally sarcastic and I will say something in return.
