A comment about your weight that still bothers you...

When I was in school I got called kankels... I NEVER EVER had kankles, but since then I have hated my ankles so much that I would love more than anything to get lipo suction on them, even tho I am pretty sure that there is nothing for them to suck out...

My cousin, would make fun of my legs tell me I was big, or ask me if I had been eating too many twinkies... I have hated my short muscular legs ever since then.

There was this boy I went to school with that would Come up behind me or walk past me and flick the back of my arms, making the giggle... I have hated my arms ever since..

my father has told me time and time again, that Well hunny Im sorry but your like your mother... your always going to be struggling with your weight. Thanks dad!

BTW... I have a 25 inch waist... 26% body fat, and I still have trouble seeing the skinny me. Some how my mirror and mind like to play tricks on me and show me the 155lb person I used to be!

People are @$$'s and don't understand the effects they have on other people. I have learned to not hold it against them. although I have to battle with my emotional self that its really skinny and not fat.

my mom: "are you pregnant?"
me: "no."
mom: "oh you just look like it then."

aren't mom's grand?

"What are you having?" (I've never been pregnant)

When I weighed 118 my ex-stepmom announced to everyone there (about 6 or 7 people) that I was "the highest weight I had ever been in my life." When I was a little heavier at around 125-135, she kept me home from school for 2 hours to tell me I was getting fat. She isn't in my life anymore and she has done some really horrible things to me, but when I am skinny, a nurse, and and an awesome Mom (I AM pretty good..:P) that will be enough for me. I am not doing this for that reason at all, but to become the exact opposite that she said- priceless!

This is incredible - what some people say to make themselves feel good and everyone else feel like crap! *kitten*, all of them!

I had a guy I had a crush on tell me, just after I asked him out, that I was the opposite of a "butter face" - as in, "you have a pretty face, but your body is gross."

FYI: If you dont' know, a BUTTER FACE means - "she's got a great body - "but her face" is god aweful"

In retrospect, I'm glad he turned me down. JERK.

my whole family has told me "you could stand to lose a little weight." DUH! What do they think I've been trying to do since I was a teenager? get fatter? I've been on some diet or another my whole life, now it is all about changing my lifestyle into something I can do for the rest of my life!

"That dress is so cute! & when you lose weight it will look perfect!" ...... this was said to me by a friend when we were shopping at the mall... rude!

depending on HOW this is delivered, this kind of comment can help me out. When I try on something that is still too small, my sister very kindly points out that it will fit, very soon, and that helps me feel better. But delivered in a snatchy way, this IS rude!!!!

Dad: All I want is for you to be happy, but I don't think you will ever be happy becasue no one will love you if you look like that.

Dad: You must weigh 20 stone now (I Was 13 years old...I weighed 14 stone, which was big, but i didn't weight 20 stone, not yet)

Dad: You're like the side of a house.

Dad: When you were a baby people used to say you'd grow up to be a heartbreaker, but you've proved them all wrong.

I think I hear the same thing that most of us ladies with weight to lose hear... "You could have such a pretty face..."

My mother yo-yoed her whole life. I grew up with my father jokingly referring to her as a hippo. And my mother lacked understanding and merely WILLED me not to gain weight. When I did, she has made it very clear that she is disappointed. I represent her and my weight gain makes it look like she failed. When we're alone, she says she is concerned about diabetes and such, but when we're in a family setting, she humiliates me. "Hogatha" "Thunder Thighs", etc. I try not to let it bother me because I know that my family knows her history with weight too. She's on the small end of things now and that's great for her. Additionally, my paternal grandmother typified everybody by weight. Their gains, their losses. Who was "little" and who had "just gotten so big, bless them."

I really don't have the body issues that my elders have. But I would be lying if I said they didn't affect me.

I will never forget when I was in third grade, one of my classmates said to me"don't break the chair" I even remember his name, I was so hurt, it has stuck with me until this day.

Why wait! Do it now!

Exactly! Unless you are using it as a motivator/reward...just do it.

"When are you due?"
I wasn't pregnant

Also my cousin told me that she thought it was so interesting that I gained 10 lbs in the same year she lost 10 lbs. She didn't mean to sound hurtful I'm sure, but she could have used a bit of tact..

"You'd be pretty if you weren't fat" - I'll always remember this. I was told at my 6th grade graduation by the boy I liked...sad.

"You have such a pretty face" - I'm told this all the time. I wish it was just "you're pretty" but it's just my face because of the weight. I'll get there!

My brother, who is four years younger than me, has called me a "fat-*kitten*" my entire life. The fact that he can no longer refer to me in that way and MEAN it thrills me to no end, but I don't think I'll ever forget it...

@tiffanyquincey - I had this asked recently to me. It sucks and the last time I had someone ask me I ended up losing 60 lbs. I am sorry you were asked this. It's very hurtful, though they may have not meant to be.
