What's the worst thing said about your weight ?

In high school two guys on the football team were talking and then one of them goes, "A good lineman needs to be about her size".. and points at me. They both started laughing. My tears couldn't even wait until I got home. I definitely had a good cry in the girls bathroom.

That's just terrible What jerks. I probably would have said something xD

That im not fat, i'm thick or shapply, or have a nice shape/size......

Today someone offered me some food at work on a break I had eaten a lot of junk that I shouldnt have had a few hours earlier, and told them i was stuffed and patted my belly and they said over and over its not even big.... im like ugh.... I hate when people say im not fat.. im 260 pounds basically and 5'3 im a blimp.... im just happy im not unaware and one of those i love being fat i look good kinda person.. i have a best friend who is and shes not shapely at all it sounds mean but she will say we're not even fat we have nice shapes and she is really out of shape her gutt sticks out so far.. people stare at her, shes so delusional... part of its my fault I should tell her how she appears to others...

Honestly... I don't know. lol I have developed selective hearing over the years so when people start talking about weight I turn off the volume hehehe.... but nahh.. I'm the smallest one in my family... I wish my sis would lose weight. It would cut out majorly on the health problems she's been facing. She doesn't have to do it for me.. or for herself... but I wish she'd do it for those babies of hers.

one of my mother in laws gives me clothes. I've told her not to, because I will cry. The other day, she comes out with pant's. "here, theses are too big for me, but they'll fit you." one of many

It was actually at Christmas! My mom (not a good history to begin with) was wearing a Shirt she bought for me and said that she didn't think I would fit in it so she kept it. Then I opened a gift and it was pajamas that I needed. She said I know they won't fit you so make them goal pajamas! I was so embarrassed!

I had a woman ask me "when are you due" when I was 17, I wanted to punch her so hard and her response when I said "What are you talking about, I'm not pregnant!" she said "Oh, well then fatty, lose some weight so people don't have to assume you are pregnant!" :explode:

That I looked pregnant. My tummy is my worst problem. My mom has it. Her mom had it. I need motivation to lose it. Very hard.

To me in elementary school: "Hey crimsoncat! I don't care what the teacher says I know a fat freak when I see one and you're the queen of FAT".

I was a normal weight at the time, but all the other girls in my town are the product of blond trophy wives and were overly slender as children.

I have struggled with weight for as long as I can remember (even when I wasn't fat I thought I was fat). On the flip side my sister is super skinny. One day we were talking about this, and she provided the following insight; she said that when people talk about someone being fat it's usually behind their back. When you are super thin, people have no filter telling you to eat, or calling you annorexic. They think it's funny or complementary, and she feels it is offensive.

Same here. I'm 5'4'', and I thought I was fat when I weighed 130 lbs. No matter how skinny I am, I'll always think I'm fat, I fear.

There is a way to fix that. Change your thought process about weightloss from "I want to be skinny" to "I want to be FIT". Throw away the scale, concentrate on getting stronger, getting faster. Run a mile, next week or month, run it faster. Pick up a weight, next time pick up a heavier weight. Use those as markers for success, and stop worrying about what the scale says. Hope that helps.

I did this mind set change with our daughter. She was very skinny most of her life then she was put on meds that made her gain weight. It also causes high cholesterol. When she said mommy I feel fat I said first of all you're in no way shape or form fat! SO get that out of your pretty head. I told her WE need to get healthy. Dr. told her to move more to help with the cholesterol levels so she did. She fights the fatigue caused by the meds and walks more. She uses my stationary bike almost every day for at least 30 minutes and has not only lost 4 pounds but her cholesterol levels are now normal. She always was a healthy eater so that wasn't the problem. She no longer says she's fat or feels fat. She loves how she looks and she says she feels great. She still has to fight through the fatigue the meds cause but she gets through it. Her idea of what is fat was based on her jeans being tight. Now she needs new jeans because hers are falling off. By the way she is only 5'5" and 140 pounds. She was 144. Everyone thinks she has a cute figure before she lost those 4 lbs and now. I would give anything to be 5'5" with her cute figure instead of my 5'11" with my amazon build.

Well, I guess if you can't find the right Fitness Center, then I have to live with a fat wife".

Iam 5'6"/158 pounds. My husband is 5'6" and 300 pounds!! Imagine that!

In 6th grade,( and I was just a little chubby) I had to get up in front of class and present my science fair project and when it was silent, a boy yelled "Fat pig!" Half the class laughed and I wanted to die, cry right there. I barely made it through my science project. I almost cried typing that, thinking about how bad I felt, and I'm 43- it was a while ago! Kids are mean....
The one cool thing about that is that kid went to a different high school and I bumped into him in a bar when I was thin and cute and he had no idea who I was so when he asked me to go out with him, in front of his friends, I shot him down in a bad way- he was so embarrased. THEN I told him who i was. Jacka#@ ( didn't know if I could write that on here) Then I heard later, his bride left him at the altar. Karma!

This is such a sad, negative thread I am sorry. Why sit there and worry what others say. Be around loving and supportive people. Don't bring this into your life.

And I agree!!!!! I felt great until I though of that bad memory!!! But looking ahead is the only way to go- why put yourself in that mindset???

My sister did this to me once. Gave me a big bag of clothes and said here these are WAaayyy to big for me but I'm sure they'll fit you! I know how my sister is and she did say this just to dig at me. Thats how she is.

By the way, EVERYTHING in that bag was way too big on me. It was all size 18 to 24. I just chucked all of it into one of those clothing donation bins.

I could never do that to someone! When I lost my weight and had 6 bags of clothes that no longer fit me I didn't go up to my friends and offer my old big clothes to them even though I knew some of them could fit them and everything was in good condition. I thought that would be cruel. I just put it all in those bins.

Because for some its the reminder of these bad memories that motivate us to keep going and take off those pesky pounds. Those rude negative people will always be that way. We can't change them but we can change ourselves and our weight. We will gain the self confidence and improve our self esteem with this motivation. I can't wait till someone in my so called family sees me now. Now I'm the thin one again and they are all the heavy ones. I was always the thin one in the family then the minute I put on some weight due to an illness they jumped all over me. They couldn't wait to rub it in my face. Now I strut around with my head held high and think to myself...SCREW them!!
