Ever been described as "stocky"? How about "chubby"?

I use to poke fun at myself when people discussed my weight.

"I'm a little teapot. Short, and stout!"

I put a picture on facebook and a weird aunt comented 'you've gone from chunk to hunk'

Didn't know whether to laugh or cry....

Haha

In college I had to wear a vest at the store I was working at. I hated it and would only button the top two buttons so I could have some movement. One of the older woman who I was ringing out asked me when my baby was due! I looked at her with a look of shock and said "I'm not pregnant." I have never seen a woman of her age turn that shade of red before! You would think that as a woman she would know better than to EVER ask another woman that question!

My grandma used to tell me I'd be a pretty girl with all the boys after me if I was less chubby. She called me chubby constantly.

Or the girls in school, who were not the slimmest girls, would call me fat... gotta love those times.

I'm 5'5 and when I met my ex's grandpa for the first time, I was about 115 lbs. He took one glance at me and exclaimed, "Oh my gosh, you're HUUUGE!" I didn't feel huge at the time, so that really stung.

My ex also used to call me a "fat tub of lard." But I can laugh at it now because he was classified as obese and I never was. How ironic.

This guy who used to like me once told me, "you're chubby, but it's ok. I can deal with it because it's cute on you." I did not like him after that comment.

And when I was 9 months pregnant, an old woman walked up to me, slapped me on the arm and scolded me for having a disgusting beer belly at such a young age. She went on and on about how if I'm going to drink beer, I should have the decency to exercise it off. And I was never a drinker. Lol she was so rude, but it made me giggle because she seemed to be deeply troubled and hurt by my pregnant belly. My friend gasped and told her I'm 9 months pregnant. She turned red and walked off quickly. That was funny.

During this same pregnancy, a man asked me, "are u chubby or just plain fat??" I said, "both. And I'm also pregnant." He responded with, "doesn't matter, you look disgusting either way." And he high fived his buddy next to him and they both laughed at me.

I tell you, there are quite a few people out there who have no problem telling others what they think of their weight!

Those are frustrating moments for me :mad: :mad: :mad: For people are soo rude sometimes :grumble:
I have been referred as,
fat potato :brokenheart:
Jackfruit :brokenheart:
Fatty :brokenheart:
Elephant :brokenheart: :brokenheart:
and what not !!??? :embarassed: :embarassed: :embarassed:

Not been called stocky before, but chubby very often. Which I found kindly euphamistic since I was over 400lbs at my heaviest! I always wonder what people will say if they have to... I think 'bigger' is common, like 'We might have to get your t shirt printed specially because you're.... bigger'(when I was in a choir once and we needed t shirts with it on). I don't mind that, people trying to be kind.

I have been called so many things from the euphamistic to the insulting. I think one of my favourites is 'overly3D' lol.

One of my most embarrassing times was when i was a shy obese teenager, and I was in the maths class, and it was talking about averages, and for some reason the teacher decided to use an example of people's weights. So he said 'For example, James is the lightest boy in the class, and Joselito is the heaviest boy in the class, so everyone else is between these 2 extremes' It was so humiliating. What was the teacher thinking?

I used to walk dogs in DC. One day I was out with Charlie (an awesome labradoodle), minding my own business, when a lady a block away flags me down. She walks towards me and starts yelling at me that I'm fat, ugly, pasty, and "a chubby *****" among other really hurtful things. I just stood there in shock. At the end I said, "What did I do to you?" and she said, "You exist." After she walked away I literally cried all the way back to Charlie's home and sporadically for the next couple of days. It was one of the most random, hurtful events to happen to me and it only lasted 5 minutes. I've been overweight all of my life but I'm a genuinely nice, caring, and funny person and have never really been made fun of, or picked on for it. This stranger, out of the blue, truly despised me. It's been years and it still sticks with me --- "you exist".

Sorry to make the post kinda dark, but It feels good to get this off my chest. I've been too embarrassed about the event to tell anyone but my mom.

Yes I know all about being the chubby girl. My grandmom used to say, you won't get a rich husband if you keep eating!! it's a good thing I actually married for love and he didn't care much about weight :-)

Very rare that I was called fat, big or whatever to my face - I usually found that 'you look well' was the euphenism for 'you've put on weight' lol

growing up it was "HUSKY"

now I'm a tall drink of water.........I'm not sure what that means......

Awww, blister lamb, that hurts I have also had some very hurtful ones, I guess we all have (I had kids pretending it is an earthquake when I go past).

But to be lighthearted, some cute ones too... my best latino comedian Gabriel Inglesias says he is 'just fluffy', I like that one! Also I got called 'cuddly' before... I like that, it is sweet.... and I DO give great cuddles!!
xxxx

I've been described as everything from husky to fat.

Im 5'5" and currently 148 lbs alot of it in my chest & butt. I get "porn star booty" or Im just "boobs" So embarassing. Or when my boyfriend describes someone as "fat" and the girl he is referring tol is actually thinner than me.. -_-
