    Honestly, there many have been a few comments here and there, but they pale in comparison to what I've said to myself mentally. At the end of the day, haters' gonna hate - but the real issue is when you say hurtful things to yourself. If someone says something horrible to you about your weight, they don't deserve to be a part of your life and you can, and should, give them the boot. You're too good for their negativity :)

    Being an African-American female, and an African-American male replied to my "going to the gym" comment with, "Why are you trying to be skinny? What are you trying to be white?" Obnoxiously ignorant. That was like 4 years ago and I'm still like WTF :grumble:

    I haaaaaaate that our people can think being fit is "a white thing." I had little support from my AA friends on my journey and would just work really hard on hiding it or bringing it up.

    Same here. I'm currently 162 pounds. My goal is 150. every time I tell someone this, they tell me "I'm going too far" and "don't get white and anorexic on us". Excuse me, I didn't know being 5'7 and 150 pounds would be considered anorexic. And it's good to know that eating disorders are race oriented. Oh wait, none of that is true. Excuse me while I continue NOT knowing you because you are stupid.

    my ex bf once said to me about this new girl he was with " well at least she can fit nicely in the back seat of my car"

    I cried for like a day

    a month ago he saw me & told me I was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen in his life - and he meant it 100% I was all " Yea I know right" :bigsmile:

    ummm one time I was standing in line with my gorgeous younger sister & my gorg mom for New York Fries and these two thin chicks in uggs in front of us turned looked at me and made a gross face at me then started laughing to themselves saying "something is not like the other , she should not be eating here eww"

    my sister heard them and told them to stfu & they gave her a bad look too like "ugh who does she think she is standing up for a ugly pig" I went and sat at a table trying not to cry...my mom brought me a vegetarian supreme fries thing and i ate that **** like no tomorrow

    lesson: people who wear uggs are almost always terrible, my sister is better than everyone else.

    I never really got one about my weight.

    I once had a dude ask why my stomach sticks out funny on one side. He didn't realize I had a colostomy bag. Hahaha.

    My step dad would make the back up beeper noise anytime I walked into a room and would then yell "wide load coming through, everyone clear out and make room" and would put a wide load sign on my bedroom door. I was 14 - 19yrs old, 5' tall and around 130-135lbs. High school was beyond horrible. I was constantly told that the only way I could be so fat is if all I did was sit on the couch and eat potato chips (I was even told this by a few teachers). I went to school full time and worked almost full time hours to help pay the household bills, I didn't have time to sit around. I have always been fairly muscular and have a somewhat stocky build, because of that kids would tell me it was a good thing I had big boobs and a girly face otherwise I would look like a boy. Of course there was always all the normal fat jokes. The rude comments in the lunch line. If I sat down to eat lunch some of the "perfect" girls would walk over and make a big scene about telling me how I really didn't need to eat and that I had enough blubber to live on for the next x amount of years. I stopped eating in the lunch room and still hide my eating to this day.

    I just want to hug you. WTF?? is wrong with some people? Those "perfect" girls were miserable and decided to make you their target of all their unhappiness. It isn't you.

    Apologies for my language but I'll bleep out what was said. Unfortunately, some racism was involved in one of them, which is why I partly remember it.

    This was back in school and there was this one kid who always needed to say something to you even though you did nothing to them. I was walking through the door to go into the cafeteria when this dude said "Look at that fat c*nt, off to scoff everybody's food. I'm shocked he can fit through the doors."
    I told him to shut up.
    He then went on to say "Instead of scoffing chicken and pizza down your fat neck, why don't you eat bananas and while you're at it, get some exercise by swinging on trees, isn't that what you people do?"
    At this point, I ran to him and hit him as hard as I could a few times. Apparently, he needed to go to hospital because I cut him somewhere on his head. I didn't know where but I was told by a teacher he needed hospital treatment. I felt so bad afterwards but everybody supported me and said he got what he deserved.

    I genuinely don't even know the kid's name though. I just remembered that, after he got out of hospital, he resumed being his nasty self. He were a couple of years older than me and he stopped bullying everyone because when he tried, people laughed and said that he weren't scary because he got battered by a Year 8 (he was in Year 10 at the time).

    That was probably one of the worst comments I've ever had in my life. It cut me really deep because I felt so singled out in more ways than one. Hated that feeling.

    People like that make me sick to my stomach. I'm not just saying this to make you feel better but you look awesome! People like that are just jealous because they want to be you. Just remember that haters are your motivators! I know that feeling of wanting to hide though! Felt that feeling quite a bit growing up.

    i was at my ex fiancé's house for dinner with her parents and other members of her extended family when we had first started dating and her father actually apologized for me being fat. he said something to the effect of " sorry, but she usually doesn't bring them home this big" to (what was to me) 6 or so strangers. I can remember the entire room fell silent and just stared at him.

    the dude was a ****.

    It's a tie between "You're so thin it's gross" and "Will this be your first?" (as in first baby)

    I'm sure my face turned about ten shades of red both times

    I was rounder when I was younger and when I started going through puberty and getting taller I slimmed down some. My girl scout leader (I was in middle school) pulled me to the side and asked me if I lost weight. She said "that I looked really good now" and how I looked better than before.

    In high school I was a varsity swimmer. I was fit and active. I could eat whatever I wanted. After my last season my senior year I didn't exercise at all and gained weight. In college, boys in my lab group made snide comments about how they could always hear me coming because apparently I was so MASSIVE.

    Now the only comments I find rude are the ones saying that I look great now. I know that others mean well, but to me it's almost like they're saying "wow you looked like **** before, but now since you lost about 30 pounds you aren't a whale anymore!". I wish others would think about how they phrase compliments. I guess I shouldn't be complaining. I've always been self conscious when it comes to weight so any comment is seen negatively almost

    I was a very fit 22 year old but will always have a bigger set of thighs and legs, just hereditary working there. I played soccer, racquetball, fastpitch, worked out. My boyfriend at the time said, "Damn you look so good up top, but ya gotta work on that bottom and then you'd really be hot". Still haunts me I think mostly because I knew the bottom would never equal the top. I had great abs and upper body. I'm thankful that the Kardashians and bigger athletes curves are more celebrated nowadays. My oldest daughter has my same body type but hopefully it will be something she can flaunt, not hide.

    "You're a big girl".....and I really wasn't. I was 130 pounds then, but the guy talking to me, a co-worker in college, came from a country where women are typically 90-110 pounds, so he considered me "big". :huh:

    The one that sticks with me the most was when I was in 4th grade and I was totally immersed in the book I was reading, so I didn't hear what happened before this, but all of a sudden the whole class started laughing. I looked up and everyone was staring at me, including the teacher. I was dumbfounded. Then the kid next to me leaned over and said to me, "He (the teacher) made a joke about how you're fat." I 100% believe the kid too, because that teacher was a world class prick and was borderline abusive to all of his students.

    People have said worse things to me than that, but that one still sticks with me, because goddamn dude... I was 9 and he was an adult.

    This question made me realize how many people have made comments about my weight throughout my life! I've heard "fat" comments from friends, teachers, exs, neighbors, and family members. But I think the one that hurt the most was when a random carload of guys drove past me (while I was out for a walk and trying to get exercise) and mooed at me-like a cow- then laughed hysterically as they drove away. Not going to lie, I cried after that one.

    Comment at Christmas dinner when I was in 9th grade from a 'great' aunt:

    "You probably should not be eating that. Diabetes is serious and I won't be surprised if you have heart issues soon."

    ---Of course no one said anything to her! :grumble:

    I love my grandmother more than anything else in the world but she also makes me feel awful. She ALWAYS comments on my weight with things like, "Did you just wake up? Your face looks fat," and "Thank GOD you are losing weight."

    When I worked at a daycare kids would always ask if I was pregnant.

    Middle school was the worst. People always made fun of me. I am glad I grew up and made a bunch of friends!! If I was the person I was then I would probably be suicidal. :frown: Words definitely do hurt.

    I hated back when I was not trying to/hadn't lost weight, and someone goes, "did you lose weight? You look good!" and I could only think, I didn't lose any weight... did I look big one day?!
