What is the worst comment you ever got about your weight?

I had my husband and 3 kids with me (at the time I now have 4 kids) and we were walking around looking at Christmas lights. We went through one of those huge walk through houses and the owner was sitting there so I went to talk to him to tell him what a great job he did. He was old, like 70's. He asked when I was due. I told him I wasnt pregnant just fat. he says "Are you sure? I just thought you were because my daughter over there is due any minute and your as big as she is so I just assumed" OMG! Just say sorry don't tell me I am as big as his 9 month pregnant daughter! My husband laughed so hard and I laughed too but it still hurt

My husband and I were at a family function being held at my mother and father in-law's house. They usually keep their kitchen table pushed against the wall because it's pretty tight in their kitchen, but to seat everyone at the table, they had to pull it out from the wall and place seating around it.

So, we get our food from the counter and my husband goes to sit on the side of the table that is pulled out from the wall, I go to follow so I can sit beside him and my mother-in-law screeches from across the room "KATHY! LET THE SKINNY PEOPLE SIT BACK THERE! YOU WON'T FIT!". Now, I'm not even that big, pudgy maybe, but I was really surprised to be called out in front of everyone, especially by someone I'd hardly consider the epitome of health (but apparently she thought she was "skinny" enough to sit back there). So, naturally, I had a few choice words for her (As did my husband, he always has my back!). This happened 2 or 3 years ago, still stings...

I get tired of people calling me an amazon. STFU people.

Lol you must be tall. Nothing wrong with a Glamazon! Work it! Lol

In a conversation with my MOM, about me loosing 35 lbs., she said, "I don't know where." Later she said she didn't mean it that way. She meant that she didn't think I needed to loose weight to begin with.

I get told that a lot too. "Where in your toe?" Lol... But i want to lose about 30 more and firm up. Great job on your progress!!

You look stunning!

Aww thanks!! :-D

In high school, I got picked on a lot for being overweight. I had things thrown at me and pictures drawn of me as a big fat monster. One time, my classmates diecided to play a joke and picked on one guy and said he had a crush on me. They were pairing us as a couple throughout the class as a joke. He got so offended that he was paired with a fat girl that he blurted out "HELL NO, SHE'S FAT AS HELL" and then he proceeded to go around the class and ask male classmates "Isn't she fat as hell?" "She's obese man, right?" "Ugly and fat, hell no will anyone date her". The classmates he asked all nodded in agreement. I was mortified, embarrassed, hurt, and even though it's been few years since that incident, I still think back at it. It's just a memory that I can never get out of my mind. I think the worst part is, the teacher did nothing but watch me cry.

ugh this broke my heart.

Oh my christ, I had to read this twice because I could have written it myself. The exact same thing happened to me in middle school, in sex ed class. We were doing skits, and they picked one boy and one girl for each skit. I was paired up with some random dude. When the teacher called our names to go up and read the skit, he and his friends pointed and laughed at me. He said "WHAT? I'M NOT HAVING SEX WITH HER, SHE'D SUFFOCATE ME HAHAHAHAHAHHAAH!" The teachers didn't do anything, nobody did anything. I started bawling, the teachers wouldn't let me go to the bathroom to calm down. I had a panic attack and it was just a bad time. God that guy was a douche. I think he's in prison now.

edit: I have more stories. I'm shy and quiet so I've been a target many times.

Nobody asked me about my pregnancy until the day before I delivered. Was I so fat that nobody realized I was pregnant? I only had a HUGE belly sticking out way past my boobs, you know. I'm 100% serious, I would have paid someone to touch my belly and ask about my baby, it bothered me that much.

When I was in middle school, we were watching some movie and a guy was talking really loudly. We were going to have a quiz on the movie, so I needed to hear it and take notes. I shushed the guy, and he yelled "SHUT THE **** UP YOU BIG FAT COW!" The teacher didn't do anything.

I've had plenty of people tell me that I'm pretty now, but I'd be drop dead gorgeous if I lost weight. Thanks y'all, backhanded compliments are nice.

Honey, you've got good solid man right there. Not afraid to stand up to his mother for you? I like him....you've got a good one.

I second this!

Someone thought I was pregnant.

*cries*

Also my mother making me buy bigger clothes, than the size I actually was. Like jeez, Im fat but im not THAT fat. Nice confidence boost!

A cadaverously thin woman (of about 130 years in age) introduced herself to me as a friend of my mother-in-law's and said she'd met my husband. I said, "how nice" and she replied, looking me up and down with a jaundiced eye "But HES good looking!"

I said. "Um, yes he is." And she turned away in disgust. She was obviously upset that chubby me had landed such a handsome man. It offended her sense of order.


I've thought of several good comebacks since then, but I'm actually glad I was gracious and didn't rise to her bait. She has to live with herself. I get to live with my sweet husband.

Haha, wow, you are a better person than me. I would have called her out for the giant b*%#h she obviously is. Way to rise above such rudeness

in high school my aunt would always ask me "when are you gonna lose those hips?" and after having my second child my belly didn't quite go away and somebody jokes around and says are you pregnant and not telling me (aka husband) I then make fun of his chicken legs lol

Get off your fat, lazy *kitten*.......

As hurtful as that comment was, it made me even more resolute about my journey.....oh, and I feel differently about this person now, and not for the better.
