rudest thing anyone has ever said about your weight?

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!

Best. Response. EVER.

HAHAHA! yeah. Growing up in my family, my nickname was "The Mouth" and it wasn't because of what I ate. I was always fat, but they did a good job of teaching me to use quick wit and words to defend myself against bullies. A combination of luck and being a smart a** probably saved me from a lot of bullying.

As I accepted a slice of cake from the hostess of my engagement party, someone said "Uh, you realize you're going to have to be in a wedding dress in a few months, RIGHT?"

I ate it all, anyway. Eff 'em. And by "them," I mean "my husband's grandmother."

Now that I've lost weight, she constantly grills me on whether or not I'm keeping up with it and demands to know if I weigh daily.

ETA: I totally think I already complained about her in this thread. Hahahaha...

Ive been best friends with a girl since I was probably 5. When we were about 11-13 or so me and my other friends thought it would be a good idea to call her over to their house, I would hide in the closet, and they would get her to say something mean about me. It happened to be my weight and I remember her recollecting how much we ate the night before. We both had crappy eating habits but I obviously ate more of everything than her. Even though we were young and set her up to look like a total witch, it still ended up being her fault....

Another friend's boyfriend was teasing her and play punching and he said he couldn't touch me because his fist might get stuck in my fat

My nephew who was probably 6 or 7 at the time and I was babysitting said, "how did you get so fat?"

My dad said "carrying that much weight isn't attractive on a young lady". I know people knock their parents for this stuff but I know my dad was trying to really strike a nerve to get me to eat less. I was always active. It's the same as my mom constantly bribing me to lose weight. Too bad I waited until I was an adult to get healthy.

When I was a senior in high school I was probably around 230-240 and 5'10" and my friend was 5'3" and maybe 110 pounds. Some guy yelled "Why is she so fat and the other one so skinny? I know, because she eats all her food." The guys thought it was a riot but the girl takes crap from nobody so she made them feel like idiots.

It wasn't directed at me, but a few years ago my grandma saw two obese women and called them "rollers" because if they fell you could jsut roll them down the street. She was in awe more than anything when she said this.

My mom constantly calls herself fat. She's 63 or so, 5'4" and probably 140. She runs marathons and looks amazing. Whenever she says that I wonder if she thinks she's fat, what does she think whe she looks at me? So while she's not saying it about my weight, her perception of herself hurts me more than anything if that makes sense.

Sorry that was so long. I didn't realize I'd start a full on rant!!

"Youd be so pretty if you lost some weight" .. It kind of hurt, a lot, cause it just told me that my weight is the only thing anyone sees about me. I remember my aunt when I was in 1st grade was the first person to tell me that I was no longer a "STICK" As in, I was getting chubby. Never forgot a single time that anyone has made any rude remark about my weight. Those things stay with you

Yesterday I was talking to a co-worker about how I hide my $200 running shoes when I leave the dog home alone so he doesn't chew them.

The guy laughed and said "what do you need with $200 shoes?"

I replied "well I workout 5-6 days a week - it's important to have good shoes".

He laughs again and says "you workout? it sure doesn't look like you workout".

I couldn't believe it. This guy is my "friend". So hurtful. And since I met him two years ago I have lost 40lbs - I'm only a few pounds higher than what is recommended for my height and I have always carried it well. His comment completely ruined my day but I'm trying not to let it discourage me overall. It gets hard sometimes when people are cruel, but I'm not getting healthy for them - I'm doing it for me

try to comfort yourself with the fact that he most likely didnt mean to offend you. people are just thoughtless or try to make jokes without realising that they are hurting/offending someone. thats no excuse for what he said but a different way to take it in.

also: he probably didnt pay attention to your weight loss because he thought you looked fine before already.

THIS! All.the.time. My mom said that to me when I was 11. Never forgot that

I've got plenty on this one. But the one that sticks out the most in my mind is where I had gotten some new glasses or a hair cut or something, honestly I dont remember the change. And I asked my idiot ex if he noticed anything different and he said "I dunno, you don't have a big plate of food in your face?" Yeah, smooth a-hole. And I was only like 10-15lbs overweight at that time, but barbs like that are the reason I am now about 140lbs overweight. It made me feel so bad, I dove into eating more.

The worst part is to this day he claims he was just trying to be funny, but he's just not a funny guy.

You mean your boyfriend didn't stand up for you?! I think I would be more pissed off about that than I would if she said that comment. Some people are just nasty and mean. She probably has some insecurities and is just pushing you down to her level so that she can feel better about herself. That sucks, Im sorry. I would have lost it if someone would have said that to me. It shouldn't matter if your overweight or underweight or normal, people shouldn't call others out on there flaws. Cause everyone has them.

I had an uncle who called me Chubs from the time I was 8 until I graduated high school. I was a normal size child until I hit puberty.
There was a really obnoxious guy at a New Years Eve party that loudly asked, "What are lookin at Chubby?"
Once in high school, I was trying to do an exercise video. My stepdad walked in and made some comment about whales. I promptly turned off the video and told him how mean he was. To his credit, he never made a comment like that again. Really, he and my mom had not been married long and I just don't think he knew how to treat a teenage girl.
I was at a baby shower a few weeks ago and the girls grandmother asked when I was due. Then my grandmother proceeded to say that several people had been asking her the same question and she finally had to ask my mom. I couldn't be mad though, because I know they weren't meaning to hurt my feelings. Plus, I'll admit, I do look pregnant. Almost every bit of my extra 40 pounds is in my belly.

This whole thread is really triggering for my anxiety. I just keep thinking... "omg, they called her that and she's half my size... people must think the worst things about me." Truthfully, and why not just go ahead and get it out there, I haven't left my house in a really long time. I mean... a REALLY long, significantly long time. I got into a relationship where the guy didn't seem to want to be seen with me and as much as I thought I was immune to idiocy, apparently it warped me a little bit. Now, I'm afraid for anyone to see me.

I have had kids yell "get the harpoons" as I was walking into a store. I once had drunk college folk pile on the hood of my car at an intersection and start moo'ing when I was in the car with another large friend. The worst things, though, were from my mom and sister. I have been called fat, by them, at least once a month for my entire life. Even when I lost 100lbs, there were still comments like, "SoCalFatGal, you can't wear a sleeveless shirt, that's gross."

Thankfully, I didn't have horrible bullying experiences in school. Only a few guys ever called me fat and the main one who did so actually got ridiculed by others in my class for being mean to me. I never let my weight limit me and I stayed active and mostly happy until about 3 years ago. The last 3 years, however, have been the worst of my life. That relationship I mentioned; it turns out he was struggling with untreated depression. I just internalized that as my problem and it broke me.

For what it's worth, I have funny fat girl stories too. I worked with kids for the majority of my career. Out of the mouths of babes... I try to take my perspective on my size from those kids. It's just one aspect of me... that's all they saw and remembering that helps me on the hard days. Thank you for sharing your stories. For all of you with the painful memories, I'm so sorry each of you went through that and I hope, sincerely, that it never happens to you again.

this has post made me irrationally angry. I sincerely wish I had been walking through that store when they were heckling you, to painfully motivate them to a better appreciation of their actions. If you are on this website, you have already decided to take steps in managing and controlling your life. Chin up, lady; the hard part is yet to come. When you want to quit and can't see the light of day beyond the struggle. That is when you need to shut your eyes, turn off your mind and your worries, and push through anyway. Succeed. Best of luck.
