rudest thing anyone has ever said about your weight?

I've already contributed to this thread once with the picture of the whale my coworkers drew depicting me =/ But I've had a bad day, and I feel better when I vent on these forums. So I'll throw in some more crap that's happened to me over the years just to get it off my chest.

1) Age 9, homeschooled, overweight with short hair and meeting public schooled friends after school at the bus stop. A girl leans out the bus window and goes "Hey are you a boy or a girl?" and I go "Uhh a girl" , only 9 and thinking it should be obvious. Her response? "Did you say a hippopotamus???" Bus drives away with all the kids laughing at me

2) Never picked for anything (dodgeball, three legged race etc) during youth group at church. The church youth leader usually ended up pairing me with one of the kids with disabilities. They were always very nice.

3) Always cornered in the back hall of my old karate school by classmates who were all male and older than me. Poking my fat and saying things like "At least she has boobs" to which one of their friends would laugh and go "Boobs don't count if you're a fat***"... I was only 11 and only girl in the class

4) Being an overweight pre-teen then an obese teen, hiding my rolls under guys clothing and usually had a short haircut. Only people (even at church) wouldn't just call me fat now, they started saying things like I was going to hell because I was "obviously a *kitten*"

5) Having some random stranger sitting at the bar where I used to work say very loudly when I walked by "D***! Look at that huge b**** !!!"

6) Having all my younger sisters tell me that they just prayed they "wouldn't end up like me when they were older"

7) Having friends and coworkers I thought I was close to, tell me things like "I really really like you. I just can't do the whole fat girl thing though."

8) Having my brother, who I've always considered my closest friend, pull a chair out for me "like a gentleman" at a birthday party with a bunch of mutual friends around... only to yell "TIMBER!!" as I sat down. None of our friends laughed or even smiled and I think he knew right away when he saw my face what he did was wrong. I got up right away, ran home crying.

9) When the girl my ex cheated on me with sent me a text saying "I would've told you to your face what was going on but I was afraid you were going to eat me". Well I got that b**** back by facebooking her husband who was currently deployed, telling him the situation. Days later I got another text from her cursing me out and just saying psycho things because he was threatening to divorce her, she said she was going to kidnap me and throw me into a woodchipper!! All I said was "karma is a b**** , lumberjack" and that was that.

There have been LOTS of these situations but those stick out the most. Nowadays I just remind myself that if someone is treating me sh**** that there is something wrong with THEM, not me. Normal people don't go around treating people that way.

I was wearing a bikini top and shorts when I went to visit family and my mom asked me "Are you really going to walk around with your belly hanging out?"

Um. My body fat is 20%. I'm a runner. There is nothing "hanging" anywhere. I don't have rock hard abs, but I definitely don't have "hanging" anything and I think I have every right to wear whatever I want out in 90 degree whether as long as my reproductive bits are covered up.

I'm not sure if it was jealousy or what, but I never forgot just rolling my eyes and walking away.

I hear you. I run marathons, but even at my very lightest--even if I weighed 105 pounds my family would say that--and not out of jealousy, but because its considered inappropriate to wear to a family gathering. I wouldn't dare dress like that with my grandma and older family members around--i know better than that. They would tell me to dress like a lady or that "a woman is more desirable with something left to the imagination." I don't think it's an insult, just a more conservative way of thinking, esp. If you're around family and older folks. There's a time and a place for everything and appropriate dress for every occasion (now I sound like my mother) :-)

Nope. Agency over my own body always for one, I don't change for my conservative family members, they can walk right on out of my life if they can't handle clothing. And two, the comment was inappropriate infinitely more than my attire for the occasion was. The comment was very unlike my family, who got over dictating how my sister and I dress after we refused to surrender our gothic preferences, even though it made their "Christian" friends uncomfortable. They've adjusted to bustiers and microminis, so a bikini really isn't an offense. Also, for some reason, it was my body she disapproved of, even though I'm the only family member with a BMI in the healthy range. The icing on the cake- it was a bikini she had freaking bought for me. I just noped right on out of that room.

My brother got home from being away for 2 years when I was 15. My mom said " isn't she cute?". His reply was " yeah, but she needs to loose about 20 pounds. I was about 165 and 5'10". He was 175 and 6'4". Freakishly skinny at the time.....

I got a 7 day pass to LAFitness Monday. Of course you have to sit and talk with a customer service rep for a few minutes. He said "I used to be chubby too....."

'How do you stay so skinny when you eat all that ****?!'

Doesn't sound so bad out of context, but I was having some comfort eating issues at the time because of exam stress and it made me really self-conscious of what I was eating

When I wasn't focused on a lifestyle change and losing I heard a lot of rude things, mostly being called pregnant and being told i need to learn to "push away from the table" when they found out I wasn't.

But what shocked me was the comments after I started losing.

Someone said to me after losing about 30 pounds "Wow, you can tell you're losing weight. Instead of you being one big roll you now have boobs and then a belly!"

I also had a gift card to Victoria's Secret and I told someone I was saving it for when I lost weight. They said "Why would you do that when you're just gonna gain it all back again?"

Oh... and about a week ago someone asked how much I had lost so far.... I said nearly 60 pounds. They said "Wow! Awesome. Someone asked me if you were pregnant the other day!"

Now that I think about it, all the after losing comments were made by the same family. Jealous jerks I think!

So my 15 year old sister is 5'9" and thin, while I am 5'1" and curvy with a slight chub. This past weekend we went on a trip with our family. While shopping a lady came up to me and said "Oh your friend is so gorgeous." I said, "Oh I know, she is actually my sister." She proceeded to look me up and down, and said "Huh, that's surprising. You really wouldn't think so. Funny." While that sucked, it just echoed something a family friend had said to me, "It's so weird how you and your sister are so closely related when she looks like that, and you look like this."

There is also the popular "Oh you're not THAT big"…thanks, that wasn't THAY offensive

Look how pretty you are! Don't listen to them.

This isn't the rudest thing I've ever heard, but ti's the one weighing on me right now.... My mother-in-law to be and I were looking at pictures of wedding dresses and I was showing her the styles I like and she says to be "Yeah, you have ALOT of work to do before you can wear those dresses."

After losing 25 pounds... A dude I was dating: "Just imagine how sexy you'd look if you lost a bit more weight. I'd actually get jealous of others looking at you."

I never spoke to him again.

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

I'm so sorry that this happened. I know how you feel but know you are worth so much more than that.

'How do you stay so skinny when you eat all that ****?!'

Doesn't sound so bad out of context, but I was having some comfort eating issues at the time because of exam stress and it made me really self-conscious of what I was eating

Yes, I get that sometimes. People wonder how I stay so skinny and eat a buffet. They think they aren't being rude, but it does make you self conscious. Some people, myself included, have a really difficult time gaining weight

"You're big!!" ...8 wks. after I'd given birth.

when is your due date was the rudest; I wasn't pregnant.

When I wasn't focused on a lifestyle change and losing I heard a lot of rude things, mostly being called pregnant and being told i need to learn to "push away from the table" when they found out I wasn't.

I think they are some REAL JERKS!!! Wow, those are some super rude comments!!! Good for you, though, ignore it and keep on keepin on!

You need to push yourself away from the table.

Your Butt is getting big said by someone who does not have a butt ( I like my Curves thank you)

Someone very close to me was describing her ex boyfriends new girl friend. " Oh my she is big, like your size"

I kinda ask for this one but I was talking about what I was doing to loose weight and my professor said well give your self time you have a baby. My response Ya he is 2.
