rudest thing anyone has ever said about your weight?

Rudest thing EVER? I've heard my share, that's for sure, but the rudest comment ever was when I was walking through the courtyard in High School and some jerks yelled out "Free Willy" as I walked by them. Since it was in between classes, and no one else was out there, I knew it was directed towards me. I kept my head high and kept walking because I'm not going to let their bad behavior define me. I've always been big, but I've also always been confident. I've had rude things said to me, but most have been kind or held their tongues for talking behind my back I'm sure. I learned over the years to make the joke before anyone else had the opportunity to, but that was equally damaging because it affected the way I think about myself.

Next time she makes one of her comments call her out on it! She will be less likely to make another comment like that if you say something about it. My favorite response would be "I'm sorry you feel that way, but in the future please keep that thought to yourself. I don't need to be surrounded by negativity" - It's a polite way of saying *kitten* off.

I have already told some of my story, but I would add one more that has been bugging me a lot recently and that is I have been told that goodlooking fit men don't want a girl my size, that I have to 'settle' for fat men. I hate that statement for sooooo many reasons. I have never been shallow, but I have also never have been with a guy I was attracted to and I have been single 6 years. So apparently I have to accept that I am too fat for guys I find attractive.

When I was 19 (6 months after heart surgery that allowed me to exercise for the first time in my life without the risk of collapsing or dying), I found a really pretty dress that I wanted to buy. My uncles response was "No, that's for normal sized people. You'd look like a whale in a sausage skin". I only started wearing dresses again last year, aged 25.

I don't know how old your grandfather is, but pre WWII ( when my parents were born) a chubby child was a healthy child. he may mean it as a screwed up compliment.
My grandmother won fifty dollars in 1918 or so because my uncle was the fattest six month old in town, it was considered healthy

I am a nurse and have found the polite thing to say is " do you have a family?' if someone is pregnant they will say, "this is our second," but if they aren't they will say " I got a sister in Ohio"

The rudest thing said to me whilst still overweight was " can you make that disgusting fat c**t go home it's turning my pint sour" the rudest thing since losing weight was "omg your so thin you look amazing. But oh your face is so wrinkly. You look about 50" I'm 37. Ugh!!
I'm European it's not why she's so ignorant she's just got a nasty dark soul!! Chin up darling..

When I showed my mom the Blogilates girl on Youtube and I said I wanted the top she was wearing, my mom replied with, "oh, honey. You'll never be skinny." Saying that to a 20 year old college student who is trying desperately to be slim--NOT skinny--really hurt. Especially coming from your mother.

She's also one to tell me that I need to lose weight then turns right around and offers me ice cream and candy and other unhealthy foods. Then, she tells me "just eat a salad."

My ex the firefighter said the meanest thing anyone has ever said to me, which is a pretty big accomplishment to win over the a-holes who tortured me in high school. I've never repeated it verbatim but the comment involved paramedics throwing their backs out / being unable to lift me to get me out of the house on a stretcher.

It's cool now. He eats those words every time I run into him and his coworkers talk about how great I look.

You go girl!! That's awesome. Makes you feel even better every time doesn't it?

A part of me is spiteful and I want to lose weight because of a rude women who makes snide comments at my weight.

This women is European and she thinks all Americans are fat lazy and uneducated. She married my boyfriend's brother and she would constantly talk about my weight.

One of the craziest things shes ever said to me was when I told her I got a second job. I was so excited to have another source of income because I was really struggling for some time.

instead of congratulating me she said " that's good..gives you less time to eat"

She said this in front of my boyfriend and her husband and they didn't think anything of it. I felt like i had gone insane.

Her theory is BS; I am european, lived in east-block country till I was 11, most of my family had weight struggles. I've now lived in Canada most of my life & once had a woman (a mutual friend) comment on how she has the same "european knees" like me. Meaning pudgy. I didn't think it was funny, since I had been at a fairly low weight at the time and always struggled with weight. Thanks for pointing that out.

My father has said to me, "You'd be so pretty if you just lost the weight."

My grandma has poked me in my love handles and said," You're not gaining all that weight back are you?"

My mom once took me jeans shopping in high school and after I tried what felt like a thousand different pants, and none fit, I cried. She told me to stop because I was embarrassing her.

After swim class, I was in my english class and a boy that has been in swimming with me (while sitting right next to me) said to his friend,"This girl has a fat *kitten*."

So yes, people are very cruel. Sometimes it really gets to me when I remember these things, but I try to keep my head up. I look at them now, they've all gained weight and I'm losing it so joke's on them. :happy:
