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

My sister once called me on the phone and said "I just read this great article and thought of you. I saved it for you to read".... I said oh really what is it about. ... she said " It was about EMOTIONAL OVER EATING". To this day.. I always think the following when I think of the event "THAT *****". Ha... I am happy now so it doesnt matter but seriously. I actually wasnt that overweight at that time in my life either. She is just NOT a nice person.

I was only around the age of 10 or 11 but I still remember her exact tone and expression to this day.

A girl in my class was trying on a new shirt she got and I asked her how it worked out and if she liked it and she responded with "Its too big but if its lose on me, it'll be tight on you!". It effects me to this day. :grumble:

My ex-husband said I am not walking down the aisle with you with a fat belly. I wasn't even the weight I am now.

AMEN ON THAT! MORE POWER TO YOU! DON'T EVER LET ANYONE EVER DEGRADE YOU OR CRITICIZE YOU EVER AGAIN! YOU CONTINUE DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING FOR YOUSELF AND KIDS AND LET THE REST OF THEM DROWN IN THEIR OWN MISERY! KEEP IT GOING AND KEEP SMILING! YOU ARE A TRUE INSPRIATION! CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR 5K'S AND GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR FUTURE ONES! GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR CONTINUOUS WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY! DON'T EVER GIVE UP! WE'RE ALL ON HERE FOR A REASON.....TO FIGHT FOR A HEALTHIER TOMORROW!

My best friend from high school didn't see me for a year and I put on like 30-40 pounds and lost 10 pounds of muscle. First thing he did when he saw me was go "WOAH what happened!" and pointed at my gut.

Friggin jerk.

i have this aunt that i rarely see. the first things she says are always "my, getting chubby there!" or something similar. this time (i have toned up and lost weight) she says, beaming, "great job, you are so thin!". then she couldnt take her attention off me. It made me feel like she couldnt associate with me just because i was once 20 lbs heavier.

My ex-boyfriend once said: "Your shoulders are so thin! You're meant to be skinny." He also said: "How do you feel about the fact that you'll never be smaller than a size 8?" He was dumped raaaather quickly.

a young teen passed me in street....I was standing in bus queue....he said "****ing hippo" as he passed by

that is hurtful, kids can be so mean. I'm sorry

So I am not a "slim" person, and I never have been. I am 5'9 and in high school I was quite involved in sports but no matter what I did, I just couldn't slim down.

Anyways, there was a couple girls in my high school who were the 5'3 "perfect figure" girls who called me shrek. I have also always done well in school, so in class if the teacher asked a question they didn't get they would say "Oh I bet shrek knows the answer". At first, I didn't really get what they were talking about but eventually it sunk in.


Also, before I met my other half (who is the BEST partner I could have ever asked for, he's so supportive about my health journey), I was out with a couple girl friends just having a good time and I was talking to this guy who my friend set me up with. After about 5 minutes, he looked at me and said seriously, you need to lose weight - I thought you were cute from the picture she showed me but no guy wants a girl with a permanent apron (referring to my "pouch" which, I will admit is one of my biggest problem areas, although it really isn't that big, never has been)

At the time, I was so mad! Like I went home right then and there mad but now I am getting healthier, I get the whole taking care of yourself thing as a reflection of how you look - but he was just being a jerk and he definitely didn't have to say it like that.

My mom would call me fat, disgusting and all sorts of horrible things. Together with the kids at school, who would tease me and tell me how they could never see me with a girl, I had low self esteem and always felt like I was no good, ugly, and worthless.

Now that I am older, I have more confidence but it still hurts at times.

"You look good now (I weighed 115 lb and was tired and hangry all the time) but if you ever get to 130 lbs we can be friends but we won't be sleeping together."--said by ex douche bf.

Hey, I think I know this guy! lol

Well it was not really a comment, but there is this one time i walked into an elevator (while i was over 120kg) with 3 pretty girls/woman standing already in it.

Then 1 of them stared at me, shaking her head in a no, then sigh and point out the sign in the elevator that said no more then 1000 kg

Then started giggling with her friends... had to go down 6 floors, worst elevator ride ever for me

This is probably one of the worst ones I've read so far on here tbh. I'm really sorry you had to go through that. I couldn't imagine being stuck in an elevator with 3 horrible people like that. But Kudos to you cause look at you now!!!!!

I've gotten it all my life, however, the worst and most lasting was from my ex. I was about 60 pounds lighter than I am now and he would never once tell me I was pretty. He would always say "You're working on it". He would then constantly comment on how big other people are when they were smaller than i was and then qualify it with "but I know your personality".

I still have trouble accepting when people tell me I'm beautiful.

Last year at work we were doing Secret Santa and when I opened my gift, part of it was an Abs Workout DVD.

The gift didn't offend me (if anything, it motivated me).

What did offend me, was another work colleague who found it so hilarious she couldn't stop laughing.

nobody has been mean to me when I was fat. I sort of wish someone had. just kidding but now when I post before pics and my after I get told how much younger I look now. It has me thinking : I guess I looked old before??
