Whats the meanest thing someone said about your weight?

I was directly asked by an older person my family knows, "you're fat, why don't you lose weight?"

I often check in on Facebook when I go to the gym, so people think I'm all kinds of swole for some reason; so, from someone who hasn't seen me at my worst, because I avoided having my picture taking like the plague, "you go to the gym, why don't you look thinner?"

*sigh*

I have been really lucky to never really have negative comments said to me (to my face, at least) besides a few random drunk guys at parties. Unfortunately the meanest things are usually things I say about myself! :sad:

My ex best friend told me in high school that I was getting fatter and was going to end up super fat, well that statment now bites her in the *kitten*, I got a little chuncky, but lost it, and everytime I see her she has gotten alot bigger.

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...

That is by far one of the meanest and dumbest things I have ever heard someone comment on like that. They won't go far with that kind of attitude.

That is so rude of her!

My Grandparents, whenever we would visit them the first thing they would say to me was always,

"you're getting too fat / you look big / you need to lose some weight" from about age 7 to 14.

I HATED going to visit them because of this. I never even realized that I was overweight or thought about it until they started pointing it out, then I became so self-conscious about it. (and truthfully I wasn't even that overweight, just big for my age).

It is sad because they are both passed now, but I still don't really like them because of those comments.

Six months ago when I first started exercising I was walking (fast, but not power walking. no huge arm swings or anything) and a teenage girl drove by, pointed and laughed at me, then puffed out her cheeks and pretended to run. I spent the rest of the walk desperately trying not to cry. Making fun of someone who is obviously trying to make a positive change is just so cruel. Six months later I've lost 60lbs and ran a 5k last week. *kitten* that girl.

A girl in my high school once shared with me that her Dad called me "bubble butt" when I went for walks. That's probably the worst. I got the whole "you have such a pretty face", "you'd be so pretty if you'd just lose weight", yada yada yada bullcarp. I shaved my head this summer because I was having a really annoying hair day, and right after someone yelled "Fat *kitten*" out a car window, and I thought about getting upset, but then realized I could probably break that punkass over my knee if I needed to, so I blew it off and went kayaking.

What a terrible thing to happen to you! I'm so sorry! I would have cried AND turned right around and went home, so good on you for continuing your walk (and your loss!)

When I was younger, I ate at a Chinese restaurant, one of the waitresses literally pinched my cheek and said I was a chubby one, she was smiling like what she said was a compliment. -.-

When I lost 13 lbs. I told my husband...thinking he would be proud of me! He said, "WHERE?!" That was when I joined MFP. I will show him "where".....I lost 19 lbs so far~ he's trying to get me to stop trying...not!! Then one of my friends called and asked me tonight what was I doing. I said calculating my calories. She said "ARE YOU STILL ON A DIET?!" like I gave up or something. I said," Of course I am." Another friend when I talk about dieting she just changes the subject very fast. One of my kids (grown) said "Your my mom, I don't care if you are fat or skinny" ... My bro-in-law said, "It's only water"....

When I was in my early 20's I met a new friend and we went out for lunch. I ate a lot of food (as usual), and also accidentally spilled some on me. I went to the bathroom to clean it off. Also, after I eat I floss my teeth, drink water and chew gum. I've always been very dentally hygienic. So, when I got back from the bathroom she said she saved the last of some type of food for me. But, I didn't want to eat it. Then she e-mailed me later and told me she didn't want to be my friend because she thinks I'm bulimic. I had never thrown up on purpose ever. I hate throwing up. She accumulated all kinds of reasons that she felt was evidence. Being very slender, going to the bathroom after eating a lot, being in the bathroom a long time, not eating food after going to the bathroom, and she noticed that I was using lip balm on my lips which she said was a sign that I was dehydrated from vomiting, also that I did not need to go to the bathroom again later during the rest of our visit she said was another sign of dehydration. I got upset at first. Then she said, "if it wasn't true, you wouldn't get upset". Then she told me she didn't want any drama in her life. But, the drama was all created by her accusing me of something horribly absurd that was completely wrong. That was very strange.

Every time I see someone like that, who is out walking and trying to make a positive change, I smile at them and mentally cheer them on!! GOOD FOR THEM. Atleast they are doing something!!

I got in a fight with my brother and he called me a fat piece of *kitten*. He also made comments about my height, saying that my weight would be distributed way better if I were taller. Wow, thanks. I'll take that into consideration, try to grow a few inches, like I can help that.

Once when I was about 11 or 12 I was at camp and my friend was super thin and that's about the time I started feeling bad about myself and I seriously wasn't fat at all, maybe 90 pounds. We were going on a ride and we had to get weighed to make sure we weren't too heavy/not heavy enough and I went frist and she's like "Seriously? You weigh 90 pounds? That's kinda fat." Given my height, I was a bit chubby but I was so far from fat.

My other brothers and my mom and dad have all been so great about not saying anything, and I love them so much for it. As for other family members, my grandma once made a comment about me losing weight o.O Awkward.

When I was 13 I used to hide myself in baggy shirts and jackets and I didn't wear anything I liked because I thought I looked terrible in it...and considering I lived in a state where it rarely drops below 70 degrees I was frequently hot. So one day I wore a shirt I liked a lot and ditched the jacket and of course someone commented. Even worse it was one of my best friends. She told me my shoulders looked huge and I should probably hide them. I never had a problem with my shoulders until she said that, and now they're an insecurity.

She also made comments about certain clothing items not looking good on me.

Several..I can't even count and I havent been that heavy.

One time my mom and I were at Olive Garden and I decided to have a rare treat and be bad and eat the Fettuchini Alfredo.

(I was 140ish)
(she was 250 ish?)

I said this is better than sex. haha
She said that is why we are the size WE are. WTF

also when I was size 3 in high school she was always telling me to suck it in and that I shouldn't wear button fly jeans because them make my pooch look big.

another time 130 ish my dad lightly slapped my thigh and said I shoud watch it.

When my friends grandma who is a family friend saw me after they got back from living in another country, the first thing she said was "you got fatter!". And that was also the time when I weighed less than I did now, so I wonder how "fat" I could be right now
