    A few years ago, I was dating this really attractive and fit guy who was sooooo critical of all women's weight. He probably had a lot of insecurities.

    We were at the beach and I had finally reached my lowest weight and finally felt comfortable in a bikini. I bent over to pick up a towel, and he took a picture of me from the side (no one looks good from the side bending over - I don't care how fit you are). And he showed it to me and circled all of the places where i was fat. He literally said "omg look how fat you are here and here and here and here."

    So that felt great.

    One time I was at Halloween at MSU and I heard someone say as my friends and I walked by, "of course there's a fat girl". It was obvious they were talking about me because at the time all of my friends were really tiny. That was fun!! -_- Guess who ain't the fat girl anymore?!!!

    That's horrible. This is the type of situation where I find violence IS the answer. He coulda used a nice PUNCH!

    I remember overhearing a lad in a nightclub say to his friend, 'she's quite fit.....for fat bird.' I think I was a UK size 12-14 at the time. What he would say now i'm more of a 16!!!

    Maybe I just never remember any comments but this happened to my boss. She is a fabulous woman, two PhD's kind, intelligent and had survived cancer twice. During her last chemo her metabolism shut down, literally. She told me once someone said to her "you know my wife became less *****y when she wasn't so fat". Seriously not only calling her fat but *****y. Still not sure where his body is....:wink:

    oops can't say itchy with a b

    Let's see...I've been told I'm skeletal, scary-looking, and I've been compared to emaciated people in Somalia, among other things.

    All that, and I'm not even skinny. I'm at a normal weight for my height (something I keep trying to explain). It makes me wonder and fear, if I ever do become skinny what will they think or say :/

    Your ticker says you want to be 91 pounds. You don't think that's too low?

    Once when I was younger, maybe 13 or so, I was going for a walk on the beach and someone drove by and yelled out "Keep walking, fat *kitten*!"

    At my oldest sons christening (he was 4 months old) - my ex- Mother-in-Law pinched my stomach and said - "You are still carrying around a lot of bacon right there" - That was 25 years ago and i can still feel the humiliation. Her son was also a charmer.

    My dad told me I had a stomach or was getting one( no way I was just bloated), him being the king of stomachs and going up and down. That being called anorexic, sick, or something nasty for wanting to take care of myself( eat well, try new activities, be active, sleep!)

    I stopped wearing red (when I didn't have to, it was one of my school colors and some of my team shirts were red) after 15 of my classmates in middle school started shouting " hey kook-aid" every time they saw me in the hall.

    I think I've been very lucky. or I look really mean, because most of my life no one has said anything in ear shot of me. The one time someone did i was walking through a park and some Hispanic men started catcalling me in Spanish. I was getting ready to give them what-for when a guy walked by and said in Spanish, "no, no shes way too fat for you to be doing that". I guess he assumed I didn't speak any Spanish. So I said, in Spanish, the equivalent of "He's right, his Penis is way too small to fit into me". Then they all started laughing at him and he hurried off. I was so angry at what he said I forgot to yell at the men catcalling me. hahaha!

    The rudest I have heard was probably a guy telling me, ''You carry your weight on your legs''.

    I was on a golf team in college and we went to Tampa every spring break to play. We had an afternoon off and went to the beach and shopping, then got some ice cream. As we walked down the street (5 of us total) there was an open-air bar and one guy said to his friends "that heifer doesn't need that ice cream." If I heard it, certainly my teammates heard it. I'll never forget it and how humiliated I felt.

    One of my customers from the convenience store I used to work at looked at me one day (he came in every day) and said, "Are you pregnant? Because you've gained weight."
    "Uh, no. I've actually lost some, but thanks for noticing!"
