Whats the meanest thing someone said about your weight?

Being given the nickname "Michelin Man" by one of my teammates.

I couldn't figure out why this would bother you, but then I googled it and realized that I was confusing the Michelin Man with the Joor Muffler Man. Did you kick him in the nads?

On the rare occasion that I would actually TELL someone what I weighed (before I started losing any weight) I was told more often that not that I "could not POSSIBLY weigh that much" and I "really carry it well."

Ummmm...yeah....thanks. So I'm fat all over, is what you're telling me??

:explode:

This is me, all the time! I actually don't mind though, because I'd rather carry it everywhere than all in one area

I haven't had too much ridicule, thankfully, but last summer I was riding my bike with my husband and 4 year old daughter and an equally fat person driving a mini van screamed, "Get your fat f*#&ing *kitten* off the road"

Seriously? I was out getting exercise with my family, following the rules of the road, and this woman assaulted us and her van full of children with disgusting language. I just smiled, waved, and kept going. She responded by screaming, "F#*k You!" as she drove off.

It did make me feel a little sad, and very angry that my daughter had to witness this. I just told my daughter that there are really mean people in the world and the way to handle it is to respond with kindness. She was very confused and scared.

Some of my closest guy friends who said between them "you used to be such a catch" and "yeah, you were so hot before" and "now I don't get why anyone would go for you" and promptly stopped hanging out with me. Some friends they were...

My favorite question asked was "how can you still run since you've gotten so fat?" I wont lie, i did put on 40 pounds when i got my new job. i went from being on my feet all day to sitting at a desk. Sometimes these types of people can really get in your head. I use it as motivation when i run.

One that will always stick with me, is a boyfriend who told me he'd be attracted to me if I'd lose weight and explained that was why we weren't as physical as we should have been in a new relationship. But he said that he wanted to keep trying to become attracted to me, because he liked so many other things about me and would help me out. We're still "friends" on facebook, and I secretly hope that he sees me now and just bangs his head on the door. What an a$$wipe.

i never understood that. i mean you fall for someone you find all around pleasing, looks, personality etc....why get into a relationship if youre only attracted to 50% of a person.

Eff those people! I would've told them off! I hope things get better for you, OP.


"You know, I just don't think you're made for working around people. Maybe if you wore some make-up to cover up all your acne and got a job in the construction industry or something... You just... you NEED to wear make-up, okay? Otherwise you just won't get anywhere in life. Either way, you shouldn't be around people. Why can't you be more like your sister?" That stellar quote was from my dad at 18. Later that day my mom followed it with: "He's got a point, ya know. And you could really stand lose a few pounds... or fifty."

I was 5ft 2in and 180 pounds because I still lived at home and my mother didn't think food was a necessity for me so anytime I came across it I gorged like crazy.

/sigh

Thankfully I moved out and met my husband three years later. It's hard to feel ugly around him because when he's home he spends half the day chasing me around the house, playfully pinching my bottom or squeezing me, and telling me how beautiful I am. And each time he acts like it's the first time he's said it to me all day... secretly, I think he does it just to see me blush every time. :blushing:

Ugh. So this may not sound as mean as some of the other ones, but I went on a first date with a guy and he told me my face was too fat and that he just couldn't get past it!. Other then that I was great according to him. I can change my waist line with calorie restriction and exercise, but i have big cheeks just like the other woman in my family so it is not something I can change. It really hurt my feelings and I remember going home and youtubing ways to make my face appear skinnier with make-up!

Horrble!! Your cheeks are fabulous and so cute What a d-bag

I agree, I think your face is beautiful, and those lips of yours are to die for.... Screw that *kitten*.(Actually dont) :bigsmile:

That's so awful!! *Hugs!*

I know the time I got made fun of the most and when people were mean was Elementary/Early Middle School. High School people didn't say **** but I was a ***** during the High School years in the beginning from my mom passing away so nobody said anything to me. I remember writing down the things kids said to me/called me in my early years in an old diary. **** is scarring! Probably the meanest thing anyone has said weight wise to me was basically just about being fat and with that came being ugly. I played it off to them but it hurt immensely. It was an extremely tough time.

Grr kids are so mean, well adults are too. But still, My little brother is 5 and he came home crying on his first day of kindergarten because the kids in his class said he was too big and the TEACHER asked him if he was held back! I was soooo pissed! Like WTF is wrong with these kids parents and the teacher!

The meanest thing actually came from my brother who I hadn't seen in a couple of weeks. I walked up to visit and he said, "dang, you're getting fat, girl." Of course I said "well, you're getting ugly" but it was too late...feelings still got hurt.

when i was 8 i had a belly and my gymnastics teacher asked me if i was pregnant and told me I should "suck it in" >< meanest thing to date.

A few of the worst things people have said about me were not said directly to me, but as I was walking by. When I was in high school, I was at my highest weight. I was walking into school one time and a group of guys were just saying horrible things.
"She's fu*king huge!"
"Whale."
"Fat *kitten*!"
So, yeah, Great confidence boost.

And my old friend would always talk about how short and fat I was. He'd find someone tall and skinny, and start laughing like crazy. He'd say, "She's like your opposite! She's tall and skinny, and you're short and fat."

Great friend, right? :b

I've been called a myriad of names, believe me, but somehow, fat *kitten* always gets to me.

When are you due? Are you pregnant! :sad:
