rudest thing anyone has ever said about your weight?

Bump

When I was in the army stationed in Korea, I was in the absolute best shape of my life. As I was coming through the post gate one day, a little old korean lady saw me and looked at her daughter and said (in incredibly accented english - so I know she meant for me to hear) 'There's one of those little fat American soldiers'. LOL! No idea what she thought she was proving, there.

-Blah blah fat, blah blah big, etc etc

Sorry to everyone who ever had to endure rude comments. Words can hurt! :sad:

This made me laugh. This is what all of those hateful comments about too. Just blah blah fat blah. It doesn't matter.

My friend was upset because a car load of guys drove by and mooed at me. I told her if that car load of guys ran off into a ravine and all died it would have zero impact on me or my life....so why let their idiot comments affect me. Their opinions and existance are equally meaningless to me. My bag of F***S is empty I have zero to give.

This will likely be the most selfish thing you've ever done. SELFISH. You will focus on yourself in a way that you've never done. You will think about how you eat, look, feel. You will focus on it. You will learn to listen to yourself, your body, your everything. And it will be great. You will feel awesome, but even better, your selfishness will mean that you can offer more of yourself to those in your life. The end result of your selfishness is the opposite. You will participate more in others lives. You will be more than willing to go on adventures, you will smile for photos when people want to see you, you will say yes to that bike ride, yes to that 5k, yes to whatever life throws at you because you finally realize you are awesome.

SO BE SELFISH. F* the A*holes in the meantime. Own This. Own Yourself. Get it. YOU ARE WORTH IT.

I love this!

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.

That reminds me. A friend of mine once said, "You look so good, so thin! And don't worry about your thighs, I have thighs like yours, they're hereditary, nothing you can do about it.

Well, I had never thought twice about my thighs before she said that and had no problem with them at all. I still don't, really.

Sometimes people mean well, the mouthy little buggers.

"now that you're skinny i bet all the guys are lining up"


my aunt.

The worst thing that was said to me was a short while ago actually, in April. It was my friends birthday and I was talking to her aunt, we got on the subject of weight loss and I told her how much I used to weigh, she said she couldn't believe it as I didn't look that big! I was pleased with that comment. When I told her how Much I weighed now (2st lighter) She then proceeded to basically tell me that I didn't look that thin and light! I'm 10st 8lbs now! she pretty much said I still look fat in front of the whole family!!!

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 :P

i am going to be a doctor soon enough INSHA ALLAH.. idk why are doctors that rude i will make it a point not to be that rude to my patients!

I was in my third trimester when we were getting our A/C system replaced. The repair guy had been over a few times and I've had conversations with him so there was no way he didn't know I was pregnant. I'm sitting on the couch and he said 'Wow! You're pregnant! I thought you were just fat.' I was already feeling huge since I gained more weight this time. I waited til he left and started to cry. I told my husband he should've told the guy off, but he said he didn't mean it that way.

When I was in my teens, I needed a semi formal dress for an occassion. My mother's second husband took me over to his sister's place. She wore a size 2/4 and I was a size 12. She made me try on this dress and when I couldn' fit into it she stood there and laughed at me. She kept talking in spanish so I have no clue what she said.

I'm a flight attendant and a woman asked for a bloody mary and handed me $10. I said "Ma'am, drinks in 1st class are complimentary", she said, "No honey, you need a good meal and some meat on your bones, you are sickening to look at". At the time, I was eating close to 4K calories per day but I was training for a half Ironman.

A colleague referred to me as "the incredible expanding *fill in name here*". He of course just thought he was being funny...i was not amused!

My sister once said I looked like a barrel.
Ouch.

Eating dinner and my father said I was fat and I should stop eating. Keep in mind.. I was 10 years old.

When I was 10 and got off an plane....the first thing my mom said "Look how fat you are!" I'm very short and have had a hard time with my weight. I had gained about 8 pounds while staying with my grandmother for a month. ALOT of weight, I know. But she would ship me off there every summer knowing there was nothing to do there...Nothing to do but watch TV and eat.....she did not live in an ideal area for a 10 year old.....The funny thing is EVER time before I see her again....I always think about that comment before I see her.... It has haunted me my entire life. Watch what you say to your children! Yes, I need to lose 20 pounds.



I have had many things said to me about my weight/looks
In college, my neighbor "your kind of fat"
In college, a guy I was waiting on "Well you are starting to put weight on"
A friend "I would email you but you are not as pretty as she is"
A friend "put your arms up, you look like PartickStar"

A female friend "No, I'm not worried about you spending time with my boyfriend"

I could go on and on....


I was going to an evening wedding. I know it was not going to be formal. She did not know the couple. MIL said "It's going to be formal, you should wear Sue's prom dress" Sue was 5'6 110 pound and a size 2. I was more like a size 8-10 and 5'1. Wow, that dress would have looked great on me! I don't know if she meant to be mean but it really hurt my feelings.
