Someone asked me how my husband is even attracted to a person like me! :X0

I was once on the train with my boyfriend, we were at a table with 4 seats and were sitting together on one side and a lady was on her own at the opposite side. She started chatting to my boyfriend by asking if she knew him from somewhere, thought he looked familiar blah blah. I tried to join in the conversation but she kept brushing me off and focusing on my boyfriend…basically flirting with him, WTF lady??
Anyway she did say one thing to me and it was “when are you due?”…I was really shocked and just laughed and said I wasn’t pregnant. She didn’t even seem embarrassed and didn’t apologise, only said it looked like I was because of the way I was resting my hands on my belly….erm ok.
The best part was this woman was obese easily over 100lbs+ overweight, and I was only around 10lbs over weight at the time.I wish I had asked her when her triplets were due in response but I’m too nice!!0 -
In my past at my heaviest weight::
Them: "are you pregnant?!" While they reach to touch my belly
Me: "no"
Them: "are you sure??"0 -
Well its not a rude comment my mother would purposefully give smaller portions then everyone else(like toddler size portions) especially if she was mad at me.i was of course still hungry and would ask for more and she would say no you've had enough or no there isnt enough but happily give seconds to everyone else.
coming home from school i would be very hungry because i wouldnt eat at school and i said omg i am starving can i make a sandwich and she would snicker and say you dont look like your starving...
she once told me ''you know when i was your age i would eat everything i wanted but then vomitted it up after so i didnt gain weight''this was after asking if i could go to a friends house.
random strangers have told me ''you wouldnt need your walker if you werent so fat'' or you wouldnt have problems with your back if you werent so fat.i have actual problems that started before i got fat but all people see is someone who is fat and our culture encourages abusing fat people.
my father told me i look like a god damned beach whale when i was 13-14.
he will call me saddle bags.
kids have made earthquake noises when ive walked down the street.
oh and my ex sister in law asked me during thanksgiving while eating,out of the blue ''why dont you get your stomach stapled. I could go on and on but won't.0 -
I cringe because my brother says some mean things to my 10 year old who is over 5'3" and 120ish lbs. Yes she is carrying a bit of weight in her mid section but this is what happens with some girls in puberty. I just want to tell him to go f himself and like it helped me to hear things like this when I was her age. I just hope I can instill some sense of self in her that shows it doesn't matter but worse thing is some other kids have noticed.
JERKS!!
I would support your daughter in front of your brother and let her know that what he is doing is inappropriate and unkind. I wish someone would have done that for me growing up. Stand up for her whenever you can and teach her to do the same for herself.
^^^ This....absolutely ^^^ He has no business saying mean things to your 10 year old. It's unfair and nasty for an adult to take on a child who can't defend herself. I'm sure she feels that as a (supposedly trusted) family member, that it's ok for him to say these things. He needs to be stopped in his tracks immediately when he starts.
If any of my brothers ever said anything to my daughter like that, there would be blood, and lots of it. Sorry, but i'm primal when it comes to protecting my child.
My uncle used to do that thinking he was funny. My mum didn't allow me to be upset since 'that is how he is'. I don't see him a lot any more....but at least now I know what I can say back...0 -
Oh man, after all these posts maybe we should start a thread of the nicest things people have said to you...0

I was shopping once and wanted to try on some clothes. The sales clerk unlocked the handicapped accessible dressing room and said, "You can use this one because there's more room."
On my wedding day my father, who I rarely saw, said to me, "I almost didn't recognize you. . . . .you've gotten so big!" I was a size 14 and 4 months pregnant.
One of my (now ex) husband's friends said to him upon meeting me for the first time, "I see you like big girls too!" I was 8 months pregnant.
We use to be in business with my ex father-in-law. He thought he was the emperor and we were his serfs. Since we were all equal partners in the business, I set him straight pretty quick. He proceeded to tell me that we were nothing but huge whales that flopped around in the water all day.0 -
So my mom flew into today to visit for a week....
She says "Are you ok?, You look poorly."
"There's no glow in your face."
:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
moms I swear:laugh: :laugh:0 -
Well, it's clear why you will never get a boyfriend.0
-
Let's see, the worst from someone I knew personally and cared about their opinion:
"I like your personality, you are great to be with, but I just don't find you physically attractive." ( Said after many months of flirtation from their end and immediately after getting way too intimate.)0 -

wtf???! seriously?? o.00 -
My bf was talking about takeaways again last night (he is obsessed!) I jokingly said that he'd made me fat.. I've certainly developed some bad habits in the years we've lived together. His (non-joking) reply..... "it's not my fault you're fat". Well thanks for that!0

Meyowtime, I love your ticker! I have an Adipose stress toy at my desk!0

My ex told me many times that if I wanted to lose 8 pounds of ugly fat...........just cut off my head!!
He also told several people that he had to take me to Dallas Tent and Awning for my clothes!
He also made mention to another cub scout leader that they could use my bra as a "pup tent"!
He was a very cruel man to me and I divorced him after 15 yrs of marriage.....he died 2 yrs later.!0 -
two days ago at the gym... I was told by a random guy in extremely broken english " You know how to not be fat? Stop eating so much" i'm pretty sure I win bonus points for not choking him LOL0

A second cousin once said to me "Holy cow man, you need to learn to step away from the plate". Ouch! Was true. Double ouch!0

Ran into an old high school boyfriend shortly after putting on my freshman "15" (which was really more like 40) and he congratulated me on my pregnancy!!!!!! :explode:0
-
One of my Dad's best friends when I was in seventh grade, "Wow! That's one helluva front porch you got there!" That was a tough time to take that shot as I was going through a lot of changes.0

My brother in law looked, pointedly, at my midsection and asked "You're not having any more kids, are you?"0

The most offensive to me is always some variation of, "you are really pretty....in the face"0

The rudest things I have ever heard about my weight:
from my mother
Do you want to eat that, should you eat that, you should really think about cutting back, you look pregnant, is that a double chin, you look like the girl that turns into the blueberry in willy wonka, if you loose weight you might find a boyfriend,
Can you fit in these pants they are to big for me now, you shouldn't really wear that, maybe if you wore makeup it would direct attention to your face instead of how big you are.
From Men
you are pretty but you could loose some weight, when you drop 10 lbs call me, I am the wing man tonight so I get the ugly fat chick, you would smother me if you were on top during sex, so you are the friend that makes all the other girls feel better about themselves because you are so fat,
From kids
You have a big belly, beached whale, MOOOO, hey Kool-Aid0 -
The comments that have bothered me the most came from my sister-in-law (who lives in the same house as me, with my parents)
- wanting to borrow a sweater for her father's funeral, i told her to help herself to my closet. She picked one saying "Its chilly, i could use something i can wrap around myself two or three times"
- talking about an old school mate of hers and how she gained weight "and no offense....she's even bigger than you" we were in the car, my brother driving. I said nothing. My brother says that wasn't nice to say. She says "but i said no offense".....yeah, like that makes it ok to say :grumble:
- there have been so many fat comments over the years, i forget them all, but now that I am smaller than her (i lost over 70 lbs, and counting) she has switched her comments from me being so big to being about how I am so so old! (There are 8 years between us) Arg! I feel like I just can't win!
I must get on permanant at work and move out and away!!0 -
The comments about my weight range from "why do you need to work out" (bc in some clothes I don't look my weight) and "when are you expecting?"
The worst was when my mother in law put her foot in her mouth when my husband and I said we were expecting and she said "I knew you were pregnant at Easter" I wasn't yet. I responded with, "I wasn't pregnant yet, just fat."0 -
I am very fortunate, my family and friends have never said anything about my weight. Boyfriends and dates on the other hand, well that's a different story,
I agreed to have drinks with a man I wasn't interested in. He was almost twice my age, heavily into martial arts and was shallow and vain about how he looked. He says to me "Your so cute, I am never attracted to women like you". I replied "Women like me?". He replied, "Well, yeah. You know, your body shape. I usually like really skinny girls". I bit my tongue, but really wanted to say something about him being old, shallow and that this was a pity date. We ended our date shortly after that and I never spoke to him again.
My ex-boyfriend after a few years of dating brought up my weight. I was gaining weight despite working out and he was confused because I "ate like a bird"- so I needed to just try harder. I didn't know at the time it was my thyroid. Anyways he admitted to me when he first met me (at speed dating) that he saw me in my dress boots and skirt and thought that I was cute and I had a friendly smile when we passed each other on the stairs. He said I didn't have the perfect body, but he figured he could get me to lose the few pounds. I was a size 10 at the time.
Funny thing, I have always felt fine with whatever weight I am. I always see myself as skinnier then I actually am- which was why those comments left me speechless. Not sure if it was denial or just a great body image.0 -
Oh this thread.
Mine were in middle school, granted I was not the prettiest crayon in the crayon box... (super awkward and horrible wardrobe)
Anyway, one day that I actually thought I looked kind of cute (as did my stomach) I wore a sweater that showed a bit of my tummy, and some boy proceeded to tell me to "put it away"
LOL!
Oh! There was also some jerk face that would stare at my ankles and tell me how he didn't like them (what?)
W/E, he ended up liking me and I had the pleasure of ignoring him.
Oh! There was also a girl that made fun of my legs one day. I guess she thought my shorts were too short cause she snarled at me to put on some pants. And then made fun of me with one of her friends... Hm, now that I think about it, she was much, much bigger than me.
Wow, can't believe I remembered all that, and I thought I was never made fun of. Bullies come in all shapes I guess, best to forgive and forget.
Middle school. Ugh.

One of my mom friend called me Heavy Chevy every time he saw me. Everyone would laugh God that annoyed me0

people think I'm pregnant because of my structure.. I'm 5'6" and 100 kgs.. I sometimes feel I'm like a giant. Trying to lose max weight, so that for once in real I can get pregnant 0
-
I have tocophobia (fear of pregnancy) and cannot stand to be around pregnant women (find the moving stomach thing really creepy - I know it's not but it really does send shivers up my spine and make me feel sick) and when a close friend got pregnant I started to keep away once she started showing...my mum told me "don't see why you're so spooked by it, your stomach is bigger than a woman pregnant with twins!"
I think that sometimes the comments from family hurts more than those by friends because they are meant to love you whatever!0 -
My parents made me see a nutritionist when I was in high school. One day, My loss for the week was under a pound and my frustrated dad (who I guess paid a lot for it) said "do you think you're 75 pounds overweight? 100 pounds? It's the middle of summer and you're wearing a hoodie because you're fat. Your mother cries herself to sleep every night because you're fat" that was 10 years ago and it hurts just as much now as it did then.0
