Since I have three kids... one of my aunts said to me... "oh , you definitely have the figure to be a mother..."
I made a choice to take it as a compliment as my kids are the best things about my life

That was mean! What is wrong with people, sometimes?
Luckily, I've never really had anyone say anything too terribly mean to me. The only people that say anything about my weight are people that are as big if not bigger than me.. I've been known to hurl the insults back out of anger at times. The last time someone said something to me about being big I said " I can't say anything. I have no room to talk BECAUSE YOU TOOK IT ALL." They cried..and I felt bad.
I try not to let things like that phase me. No one should. All that matters is that you try.0 -
"You can't lose that much weight especially at our age. Aim for 10 pounds more than your goal weight." from a 'friend'.
And I say (in my head), "Oh yeah. watch me!" Great motivator.0 -
A coworker and I look similar and every time she is pregnant (this is her third pregnancy) I get asked how my pregnancy is going... Did I mention this time she is having twins!!!0

"Why the hell would I go out with someone that might smother me with her stomach?"-a guy I liked at the time.0

I was thinking of doing a half marathon and one of my coworkers told me the only way I could complete a half marathon is if someone was on a bike in front of me dangling a doughnut in front of my face all the way to the finish line. I was more motivated then ever and finished my first half and made sure to dangle the medal right in his face! I have completed a total of 5 with my 6th one in two weeks!0

growing up my sisters called me brontosaurus butt whenever i'd play in the little plastic pool in the summer. "oh watch out, here comes brontosaurus butt down the slide!" whatever, kids are mean 0

"Oh that one is Sharina1985. The fat sister"
"Everyone needs a fat friend in their group. How else are we going to feel good about ourselves?! JUST KIDDINGG!!!"0 -

That is seriously foul! Do these people think we have no feelings?
That is awesome about the half marathons! Great inspiration!0 -

Damn! Did you stay friends with them?0 -

No way but it has motivated me a lot. People forget that fat people have feelings.0 -
The worst comments came from my mom.
"Fat people are lazy and greedy, why do you think they are fat?" ... my mom said that to me once when she saw an ex bf of mine, he was slightly overweight, she then told me to dump him 'cus she thinks he is lazy and greedy. Granted she meant well but her comments are just so offensive. :explode:
Then last weekend while we were having dinner she told my sister not to eat too much "unless she wants to be ugly". What?!! My sis is 17 years old, 5'3" and weighs 110 pounds and she is already eating like a bird, yet she made that comment grrrrr.....
:mad:
I don't even want to remember what she said to me. So glad I was only home for a weekend and it will be months till i see her again, and I must lose weight by then, sick of listening to her comments. :grumble:0 -

No I didn't. It still hurts since it happened in November, but it was a strong motivation.0 -
I brought the stationary bike up from the basement so that I could use it in the heated, noncreepy part of our house. He asked me if I was going to use it or just hang clean laundry on it again. It hurt me, but everytime I feel like I'm too tired to get on it that day, I remember what he said and am running for my shorts and ipod!!0

My dad use to call me BB- for big butt.
Big booty Brenda and thunder thighs from my dad when I was 12, looking back I wasnt even fat then
.
This Christmas he proceeded to ask me if I was pregnant and said "i didn't know you could carry twins in your *kitten*" ..... oh and "you'll never find a man as fat as you are, its disgusting" .... I can't wait to tell him to shove off and ask him when his baby is due (beer belly). Ha!0 -

Videotape that and post it on here! Would be a great inspiration to anyone else who wants to tell someone else to shove it lol0 -
OHH.. good topic!... here's one...
An older family friend that I haven't seen in a few years told me...
"Whoa...You're really starting to pack on the weight man!" (he didn't mean to be too rude, just stirring me to get a reaction)
I paused for second and said with a smirk..
"I'm losing weight actually and will be back in form in a few months before the end of the year
<I put my hand around the back of his neck and pulled him close to me>
but hey, look at you... you can't fix BALD and UGLY, sorry to hear that mate"
"F#@ker.." he replied, and walked away.
I've forgiven him already - but no one talks down to me without their foot being shoved up their *kitten*.0 -
Grew up being called fat everyday will do that for ya.0

Love it! Good for you!0 -
"I was surprised you flirted with me. You don't act like someone..."
What do you mean?
"You have a lot of self-esteem for someone, you know, for someone as fat as you."
-Courtesy of a guy that I liked a little bit. He also went on to enlighten me that he only likes really skinny girls.
I went on to lose 40 pounds, date him briefly, take his virginity and break his heart so severely that he failed a semester of college and cried every day for weeks. I know revenge is terrible, but it just felt so right at the time.
(Must be karma that I gained the weight back, huh?
) 0 -
I looked up my height and weight on google and the comments I saw from people about that being fat. That is a motivator, just hearing that I am fat.0

Actually, dad's are pretty good at hurtful comments hey?
Another gem from my dad when I lost some weight in 2008... "Wow, you are starting to see cheekbones now, see how much prettier you'd be if you lost more weight?"
Grrrr!0 -
Oh my god... Makes me cringe that women can do these things and yet we get called dogs... dammit. Makes me even scared to date..."I was surprised you flirted with me. You don't act like someone..."

yeah, wtf?! i wasn't fat then, either!0 -
I was tormented all through school, horribly. I didn't want to go anymore. I've been called everything you can think of. But one of the things that hurt the most was I was in the car with my mother and my son and I was mooing at the cows with him, he's Deaf and I was letting him feel the vibration, and stuff like that and she asked me if I was talking to my real family.0

My ex-stepmom used to tell me how fat I was. She kept me home from school in sophomore year for two hours to yell at me and tell me how fat I was. I weighed 118. I can't wait to get skinny, become a nurse, and let her know where to shove it. She was a nightmare for 10 years.0

Some men are dogs, and some women are female dogs (the word for that is used fairly often...). I don't really see how this is a "battle of the sexes" issue. That may be the most vicious thing I've ever done in my life, I know.
On some level though, I really did like him. We dated for a few months and I thought I could get past the hurt and anger, but I couldn't, so in the end, the evil succubus heartbreak thing happened.
The lesson here is don't be a d*ck. :flowerforyou: (And yes, I realize that's true for me too, I did gain all the weight back, because I did it for the wrong reasons.)0 -
My mom used to tell me i looked like a refrigerator. SO it encouraged me to stop going there to get food0
