rudest thing anyone has ever said about your weight?

I mean the only reason I mention she is not native to where we are from is because she does say a lot of rude things about Americans in general and i'm not generalizing any groups of people by saying this i just think that she thinks her culture is Superior so she is quick to put down other peoples cultures.
i mean...for the love of God at her own wedding her cousins from Romania openly called my boyfriends grandmother/aunts fat Americans ..( they are over weight but still)
They said this to there faces too so it was very rude and it hurt a lot of peoples feelings and it ruined the mood of the reception.
idk.. it just blah
She is not being a b**** to you because she's European - she's being a b**** because she is one...
I live in Switzerland and other than kids being rude to me in school (up to about the sixth grade), the only other people I can currently remember being mean to me about my weight are my dad and one tamil lady I used to work with.
My dad is like that with all people he considers fat or "chubby", but at least he also gives compliments when he sees that someone's lost weight. He's just not one to mince words...
The tamil woman surprised me though - I always used to think she was really nice, kinda the mother-type. Then I bumped into her a couple of years or so after I'd stopped working there, and she was being all sweet and kind, then suddenly she said something along the lines of: "You became fat - what happened? You used to look good."
Anyhoo... I just wanted to let you know that her rudeness is not cultural. Comments like the ones she's made to you would be considered just as rude here. I think it has a lot more to do with upbringing and character than where you are born...
By the way, you are absolutely beautiful!! Just ignore the idiotic things she says and know that she is alone in her opinions. Also, the more things like that she says, the more she's digging her own "grave", so to speak; I mean, who would want to be friends with someone like that? And when she makes those anti-American comments, you could remind her that she CHOSE to move to the States...

The kids in my grade school called me Twinkie because I was heavier than all but one girl in my class.0

The next time she says something, use the following line:
"I may be fat but you are ugly. One day I will lose weight and you will still be ugly". You don't appear to be fat, but if she is going to use that phrasing....
Yes, it is a play on Churchill's famous quote! :laugh:0 -
I always remember a doctor who I had never seen before went
'Just forget it, you're way to fat to even bother losing weight, you won't do it without surgery. Let's face it, you're already fat, miserable and going to be a very lonely woman, that I can gurantee'
Well doc, this first 10kg is for you..... and the last 10kg will be for you too :P0 -
My mom told me I looked pregnant in a high-waisted dress and my brother asked me if I was "comfortable" at my weight.0

Next time she says an offhanded remark about your weight, compliment her on something. You don't even have to believe it, just compliment her.
It's really hard to do but, it's nearly impossible to insult someone who won't take the insult.0 -
My ex boyfriend, Rafal, felt my stomach when we were sitting in the park and he said that I need to go to the gym. I said that I had 2 jobs and he said, "I don't care if you have 10 jobs, you have to go to the gym." I found it funny, I wasn't offended because I knew that he liked me in general so I didn't think it was a big deal.
I used to ask my other ex boyfriend, Lukasz, if I need to lose weight. I asked him that every day because I knew my stomach was sticking out. But if he had said yes, I wouldn't have been offended, because I knew that he was fond of me. But sometimes he touched my stomach and said "co to jest?" (what is that) It was funny. He also joked because he knew that I love wearing makeup. In the morning he joked "you're so ugly, not wearing makeup" and then I hid my face and he said "I was joking, you're the most beautiful." Then we both burst out laughing.0 -
The latest one that kind of stuck was at a friend's barbeque. I had just done a few miles of walking during the day and hadn't had a good breakfast, so I was starving and grabbed a second hamburger, and the person next to me blurts out:
"Must be nice not to care how you look and be able to eat what you want".0 -
I was told that I looked like a "bulldog with down's syndrome" Even at 70-80 lbs down, I still here that in my head.0

Good lord, I'd find something weighing 65kg to smack them round the head with it when you've finished.
Ugh. What a tosser.0 -

My mother, sister, sister-in-law, and I were sitting around at a family event and they got talking about how much weight they gained when they were pregnant. My mom confessed to weighing 198 pounds at her heaviest and that she would've wanted to die if she would've gotten over 200, and the other two agreed. Not meant as an insult, but still a really crappy thing to say in front of your obviously 200+lb daughter/sister.0

Any variation of why are you on a diet black girls aren't supposed to be/can't be as skinny as white girls anyway.0

"When is your baby due?"
Yep. My youngest child was about 3 weeks old when some old hag came up to me and said that.0 -
Pretty sure being called "Tits" all through high school because of my moobs.0

I have been told more that once that "I'm really pretty for a big girl"!! What the hell does that even mean?!0

Are you dying of cancer or something? That's the worst one I heard yet.0

I was not overweight by any means as a child, but I did have a bit of a pudgy stomach like plenty of other kids do. My older brother, however, was super skinny (combination of genetics from our mom's side and being the world's pickiest eater) and his favorite thing to do was poke me in the stomach and call me "fatty" as he walked by.
Throughout high school I suffered from an array of health problems which sent me from 105 lbs down to 98, up to 110, back down to 102, etc. I'm only 5'1 on a good day, so those few pounds make a huge difference on my frame. My grandparents (paternal) live halfway across the country and see us only once or twice a year, so any changes in my weight were very obvious to them, and my grandma never failed to tell my parents that they needed to watch what I was eating.
I finally stopped gaining/losing and maintained at about 115 for a couple of years, then last spring I started taking birth control and gained another ten pounds, putting me at 125, which is still in the normal BMI range. Shortly after the weight gain, my family made a trip to see my grandparents. The topic of conversation one afternoon turned to my fiance and how he's relatively short for a man and is on the slender side. Immediately my grandma said, "Unfortunately you're built like your dad, so you'll swell up like a Butterball in no time." The next day my mom asked me to retrieve something from upstairs, and because I had already made two trips up and down in the last five minutes, I jokingly whined about it. My grandma, very seriously, told me, "You need the exercise!" Never mind the fact that I rode my bike 9-12 miles a day 4-6 times a week that summer.0 -
My nickname is grade school and middle school was "whale". I managed to turn it into a big joke about how if they kept making fun of me that I would chase them down and sit on them... and I'd follow through with that. Sure, publicly, I turned it around but every night, I'd come home and cry myself to sleep.
I was at a sleep over and we were playing telephone (where you whisper something in someone's ear down the line?) and I was the last person. The sentence happened to be that I was fat and gross. These were supposed to be my friends (bff, right?) and I remember running into the girls house, curling up in a ball, and crying until her dad found me. I told him what happened after some coaxing, which then led into them getting in trouble and me being the bad guy.
Needless to say, I have severe trust issues when it comes to female friends and not from just these experiences.
I was, however, was once told that my boobs were "spiffy" by my fiancé when we first met in high school (14 years ago). :blushing:0 -
My dad called me a hungry hungry hippo when I was chubby (in the 6th grade) and asked if I had a tapeworm "or something" when I lost weight.0

My nickname was also "whale" at high school, but I could never think of how to make a joke out of it. I did do the going home and crying part as well though.
And that's horrible what those girls did to you. Kids can be so cruel!0 -
I know some adults are sensitive about this things and won't say anything in front of you. But I once had an incident with a kid who told me I was fat straight to my face and started laughing with his friends. I was just really hurt.0

One time my family and my ex's family went out to dinner, which was a buffet. I went up to grab a plate and she said out loud to everyone 'I think you should go last, we need to make sure there is enough left for everyone else' :explode: I must admit I didn't handle it well... She left in tears, but she totally deserved it haha0
-
OH and another time I was at a different ex's and at the dinner table his little brother (he was only about 8) asked if I had eaten another person :laugh: Kinda makes me laugh now ha0
-
anything from: "Your tummy looks like a donut"; "You are so chubby"; "When will you start working out?"
to: "Anorexic b****" and "She should really eat a burger" "You look like an African in Africa" - i found this one kind of funny
although :mad:0 -
Oh and my final one, I promise! A guy once told me he wouldn't date me because he was to embarrassed to be seen with me in public... That was hurtful!!
No more now I promise

My hubby when he said my bum was riding up my back it was that big0

This is not a cultural thing. I've been in Sri Lanka and now I'm in Qatar. I get called that in both countries. More in Qatar. Funny thing is this country has an epidemic of obesity and all they do is sit and make fun. -_-
Don't let her get under your skin. She obviously got some issues.0 -
My comments have come after weight loss. My three aunts stood around, pointed at my body and said that looks good but your face has gone - yeah, thanks for that!!!! I've also been told I look "haggard". Balls to 'em ......0
