The most polite insult you've recieved? redone

I had just recently gained about 30 pounds... I was at an event and while there got friendly with a guy that I instantly got a massive crush on. Later in the day I spotted him from across the room, our eyes met, and we both smiled broadly. I walked toward him and he said, "you know, you don't walk like a fat person at all... you're very graceful". Now, I know he meant that as a compliment (we even dated for a few months so I know my weight didn't put him off... I ended up losing it all fairly quickly). I was so taken aback by his comment that I had to laugh or I probably would have cried. I try very hard not to take offense when someone it TRULY trying to say something positive even if it does sound like an insult. I try to listen for intent rather than content!0

I think you would be great on the biggest loser
Yes! Someone told me DH and I should have been on the biggest loser! Umm thanks, I know I've lost a lot but I didn't start at 500 pounds...0 -
I always got "You look so ... Mature!" I never realized that was slang for old/fat. I was 25 at the time and the woman thought my husband (who's fit and 4years older) was MUCH younger. Ugh.
And while I'm still in my 20's I hate being called Maám!0 -
If you lost weight, you would be soooo hot!0

"I saw this REALLY cute outfit that would look great on you, but you'd have to lose 15lbs..." Really??? :huh:0 -
.The cab driver once asked me "How many kids do you have?" Err I'm still single without a child, do I look like I have kids? :grumble:
I had a customer ask me if my co-worker was my son.... We're the same age.

You look godd . . . now. (Made me wonder - oh so in other words, when I was a little bigger, I was an ogre?) Was nice to hear but makes you think you know.0

years ago I was shopping with my best mate. just looking through the windows at the mall. she used to be about my size, then had a thyroid problem and lost a lot of weight. so we go into a store so she can look at a dress, and the sales person walks up to us, looks at me, then her, and says to her, is there anything you'd like to try one, and ignored me the whole time.0

I got the "You carry your weight well" a couple of times the one I hate....
"You are so pretty..... (happy face) for a big girl (sad Face)" lol
why can't i just be pretty... period. lol0 -
Pretty much just call anyone over the age of 14 ma'am. Just how I was raised, and well the army probably had something to do with that too.
Just had a friend tell me "you look like a real person now"0 -
I got: "You're pretty cute for a Mexican..bc some Mexicans aren't that cute..but you are" :noway:0

I went to a spinning class with my sister last year. The instructor was super hardcore and kicked our butts. The class was really hard and everyone was drenched in sweat by the end. The instructor pulled me aside at the end of the class and said "when you walked in I didn't think you would make it through the class but you worked really hard and did great!"
I know it's not really an insult but I still went home and cried. Hey instructor dude, just keep with the second part! I don't need a reminder of how fat I am...0 -

You would be so hot if you got some muscle tone.0

My least favorite thing: When I'm around a person who's very clearly smaller than I am and they call themselves fat. I'm not overweight, but things like that make me feel disgusting.0

when i tried on my bridesmaid dress for the first time my dad said "wow it makes your head look small!"
That's funny.0 -
I got: "You're pretty cute for a Mexican..bc some Mexicans aren't that cute..but you are" :noway:

My Aunt: you look really good, about time because you were going to waste! Lol ok...0

I get asked all the time by co-workers: "Are you losing weight?" Um, yeah 116 lbs. LOL!
And when I tell them it's been 18 months I inevitably get, "Oh it's smart that you're doing it that slow." LOL
And the classic, "Which surgery did you have?" LOL I didn't (not that it matters).0 -
-My husbands friend called me "Big Ang". I was pissed for 3 reasons, one my name is Angel, and it irritates me when people say Angela or Angie, "Ang" really done it. (2) He was out of line, he knows damn well he never heard anyone else ever call me that. (3) He's big himself. I was very mad, I could have slapped him, lol
-Are you pregnant? A neighbor asked me this about 2 weeks before I started my "lifestyle"
change. I wasn't too mad at that point, because I had already been prepping myself to commit. If anything, it made me start faster. Thanks neighbor!
-You have a really "cute shape" if only your stomach was flat. Lol, my sisters tell me that all the time. One of my sisters be like: Dang sis you look fine as heck from the back" lol. They always remind me how fine.........I was!
Can't wait to complete this transformation.0 -
This one has been my favorite. Someone asked how much weight I have lost. When I said 40 some odd lbs they said Oh, I couldn't tell because I see you almost every day.
Then why did you ask how much weight I've lost? 0 -
