What is the worst comment you ever got about your weight?

I have two that stick out the most.
The first was in elementary when some punk threw a magazine about liposuction at my head and told me I should get some,
and the second was more recently when my coworker told me she'd put me out of my misery if I ever gained more weight.
Ironic since she's gained a crapton since we worked together.
Karma?0 -
If you looked like "her" I wouldn't have had to cheat.
Oh no he did not :explode: I sure hope you told him that if you didn't need a magnifying glass to see his penis with you'd maybe care enough to look like her....uggg some men have a huge nerve
HAHAHAHA! This response is SO full of win!0 -
I was working in a department store and a customer stopped me to ask if I knew the gender of my baby yet- I wasn't pregnant.
My Dad also likes to get out old photos of me from when I was a teenager and tell me how much he wishes that girl would come back.
And last month on a crowded plane my mum told me- fairly loudly- I was taking up too much room in the aisle when I had to stand to let the window seat person out. The next day at a family dinner my mother also informed the entire table that I wasn't permitted to have dessert and that everyone needed to keep a watchful eye on me to make sure I didn't sneak some!
I've also been compared to my fiance's dad who weighs around 60kg more than me!
I could go on all day... sorry.
Geez! Sorry that your parents are like that.0 -

A jerk in high school told me to effin move cuz no one could get around me. There was plenty of room, he was a jack@ss.
My sister told me once when I was watching Say Yes To The Dress that I was too fat to wear any of those dresses.
My sister also said I was fat and so is my fiance and she made a crude and vulgar remark comparing intimacy between us to "slabs of blubber slapping together" (shes a great sister, huh? I won't be the fat twin much longer)
Wow I thought my siblings were bad! I guess she shouldn't expect to be in the wedding party then.0 -
Oh also ..."you should go on the biggest loser"0

im 19 and in high school I would constantly get MOOed at.
get things thrown at me during lunch and classes and a few times people threw food at me and shouted " eat more fat cow " or "eat more til you die nobody wants your fata** around here anyway"
and my family wonders why I hated high school..
gotta love the " you have such a pretty face,, if only you lost weight. " comments too
Cant wait until I have my gastric bypass surgery and have a fantastic 2013 year and put all this crap behind me.
Kids suck! I hope your surgery goes well.0 -
My ex - the biological donor that helped create my children (back in the good times before he tried to beat me to death) - used to throw porn mags at me when he would catch me eating something he didn't 'approve of' or an extra helping at dinner and say "If you were skinny and looked like these women, then I wouldn't always want to F someone else you big fat b!tch". Wonder how he's liking prison these days...0

Over 6 years ago I was shopping for my bridesmaid dresses at a local mall. I was walking along the sidewalk on the outside of the building next to the road, and a car pulled up along side me. The car was full of guys, probably between the ages of 20-30. The car slowed down and drove along side me as I walked. The whole time I heard laughs, and the guy in the passenger side said "Damn girl, Subway diet didn't work, huh?" They remained driving next to me, laughing, until I got into the building. I never looked at them, just kept walking.
To this day I still remember it, and to this day it still hurts. You'd think that would have been motivation enough to lose the weight, but it wasn't.
I'm doing it now, though. And that's all that matters.
I agree.0 -
Mine was interviewing for a modeling job. I was at the agency and the owner said in front of everyone that I was to fat for what their client was looking for ( I was about 107 ) . I had the face but not the body is what she said. WTF really? I wish I looked like that now even tho she said I was too fat. I was totally embarrased and cried for days ( more like weeks) I finally got the last laugh tho so it all good. I don't know if I really want to be 107 but I wish I was thinner. I'll get there.0

I am literally in tears right now seeing these posts! I am sooooo sorry that people in your lives{ and mine} were so RUDE and INCONSIDERATE to you all! I wish I could be there to wipe away all the pain and hurt in your hearts!
agreed!0 -
I was at a restaurant with my kids when a younger couple came in. They made a huge deal about walking several tables around either side of me to get to their table so they didn't "catch the fat".
I also had a guy hang out the window of his car, call me a fatty and bark at me.0 -
Being asked if was pregnant ( I wasn't) oh and after weight loss being told I had a good figure considering I had kids - talk about a back handed compliment

I've had several of the same comments as some of you, the pregnancy one and kids acting like there was an earthquake when I walked by, But the worst has always been my grandmother. She has criticized me for my weight for as long as I can remember. My mom is overweight, too, and every time we went to visit, the two of us usually ended up crying ourselves to sleep over her comments. She thinks she's motivating us!
For example, my mom told me a story that happened just recently. My parents, my grandmother, and my aunt and uncle went out to eat. There was a delay in my mom's dinner and everyone else had been served and were mostly finished and mom's dinner still hadn't arrived. My grandmother said the waiter must have taken one look at her and decided she didn't need to eat anyway.
I hate that woman. It's a bad thing to say about your grandmother, but I do.0 -
Congrats! When are you expecting...
I was so embarass0 -
Fat *kitten*. LOL. Yes women us guys get called that too or at least I used to. Now after shedding 30 pounds and adding some meat in the right places they say why are you so skinny? Are you ok? LOL0
-
My husband told me I was so disgusting that touching me made him vomit.
I think I would have said "Ditto"0 -
when my ex boyfriend flat out told me i was overweight. it just stung.0
-
The absolute worst was when a group of boys in 9th grade called me "Big Bertha" across the lunch room and humiliated me. I was just starting to lose my weight then and that spurred me to finish what I started.
Two of them friended me on FB back in 2009 when I joined and I declined. The one still tries to address me when commenting on mutual friends' statuses, etc and I ignore him. HA! lol0 -
I was told, Wow, you've gained weight again. What was it this time, too much chocolate? You are too pretty to be fat.
I am a yo-yo dieter.

A few years ago I got Ill and lost a lot of weight uncontrollably. Because I was in my late teens ALOT of people assumed I was deliberately starving myself and felt it was okay to comment on how skinny/gaunt/"anorexic" I looked or the good old "eat a sandwich" line It was pretty darn crappy because all that time I was eating as much as I could and unable to gain weight.
My grandmother was the worst though, "you look like a boy" "it's disgusting, just eat something" etc etc.
I hope that it was coming from a place of concern in her own twisted way, but people really shouldn't comment unless they know all the details!
I am actually guilty of this. When we were teenagers, my cousin (and best friend) started losing a TON of weight and I just assumed she had an eating disorder. My grandmother would get after her and tell her that whatever she was doing she needed to stop it. We found out a few months later she had Hodgkin's Lymphoma (cancer). She beat it, but it was a punch in the stomach.
On another note, I've never really been put down for my weight...someone close to me did yell at me when I was a teenager and told me to get off my "fat *kitten*". And I'll always remember when I was in 2nd grade a boy who was like my best friend poking my tummy and saying "you're FAT". Stupid boy. Funny how that stuff sticks with you...0 -
Some pretty crappy stuff when I was at my biggest (like 350lbs)
- When I was in high school kids used to throw food at me because I was big
- When walking down the street some guys would yell out the window "FAT WHALE" or "FAT SCRAG"
- I have been moo'ed at.
- Some girls at my high school used to say "You're terrible Muriel" all the time (this is a reference to what the big girl in Muriel's wedding would say)
- I once overheard this guy who I had met for coffee and had a crush on saying to some friends "yeah when I met her all her fat was squeezing out the sides of the chair"
- And this is weird but I think one of the most memorable hurtful thing was when a kid (friends brother) who I had never met before saw me and screamed "IT'S A MONSTER"
There's heaps of other stuff but I can't think of it all right now, repressed most of the high school stuff because it was so hard0 -
About 10-15 years ago, a woman I know asked me when my baby was due. I was not pregnant.
Something similiar happen to me when I got married in my mid twenties. I was still thin but started to gain weight in the abdomen area first. A friend of ours saw us walking through town and came over and rubbed my belly and said, "I see you both are starting out already." He thought I was pregnant. I almost dropped right on that sidewalk. I didn't say anything back, because I was still in shock.0 -
oh my god i'm so disgusted reading everyone else's posts! i'm so sorry you all have to/had to deal with people like that
*hugs everyone*0 -
My mom told me that I was nothing more then a fat loser and would amount to nothing and why couldn't i be pretty and thin like the dancers and cheerleaders on tv. And a lot of people said that I was not marriage material because no guy would ever want to date me because of being fat.
God bless my mom but she can over watch me, my husband, and my son knowing that I am losing weight and all the negative people can watch me be happily married with a child :bigsmile:0 -
At the time this happened I was about 170 and "firm" This was before I hit 300. I decided to get dolled up for my man. I came in the room thinking I looked hot and he just looked me up and down and says....
"You look ridiculous"
Personally I was expecting a different response. Never wore lingerie for him again.
P.S. I dumped his sorry butt and found a man that really loves me.
Thank goodness!0 -
I saw a guy say that Miranda Kerr was hideous because of her pointy nose and her height! How insane is that?
Miranda Kerr is a goddess. What an idiot.0 -
You look great! When are you due? (I AM NOT PREGNANT!)
One comment that I got last week at church was
HER "Wow, you look great! Everyone is talking about how quickly you have recovered from gastric bypass surgery.
ME: "I didn't have any surgery."
HER: "How did you lose weight then?"
ME: "I ate less and exercised more. I used this app called My Fitness Pal to help keep track of my caloric intake and expenditure."
HER: "Really, we all know that you had surgery. It's okay if you want to keep it a secret."
ME: "Seriously, I did not have surgery. I just ate less and exercised more. I did it the old fashion way with the help that app."
What really p*issed me off about this conversation is that she did not ask me but assumed that I had surgery. Since I have been at church every week I am not sure when I could have had this surgery. Also, I lost this weight over the past 12 months. Sixty pounds in 12 months is really not that much.
Thanks for letting me get that out. It has really been bugging me since last week.0 -
Ironically, I have been teased more as a teenager for being too skinny than being a little fatter.
I used to be called anorexic etc, when in reality I just played a LOT of sport back then and I was very young.
Funnier thing is, once puberty came it didn't spare on the curves, and there was no complaints from anyone then ha ha
The only bad comments about putting on a few pounds came from both my mother and sister, who are never really that constructive anyway...
I also had to put up with an overweight (and still very overweight) friend who used to constantly put me down for being skinny and that she looked better than me because of her huge chest ( she was close to 300lbs) and that I shouldn't wear certain things because she looked like crap.... It sounds like nothing but when someone is pointing out to everyone that you look 'too skinny' (which I didn't, I was a pretty healthy weight and have always had a pretty hourglass body even at my lowest of about 120).. Maybe I just looked 'too' skinny next to her, and it drove her crazy. In the end we did not talk anymore because all she used to do was undermine me, and if I offered to help her in the gym or to walk she would say no and have a takeaway instead. I don't understand why I was being punished for her laziness.0 -
a really good friend commented on my stomach saying how i dont have a flat stomach but that my stomach pudge is "cute." she's skinnier than me, and it definitely made me feel really bad about myself. Im self conscious so her pointing it out and trying to sugarcoat it by calling it "cute" was like a slapp0
