A couple of years ago I was in a grocery story looking at the cheese selection when this weird guy came up and said "oh no, no you're already fat enough." My response was of course the standard "f-off."2

Maybe not hateful but rude IMO: people asking if I'm pregnant. STFU. Unless there is a child actively emerging from my vagina, No.2

Years ago (like eons) shopping with an old friend at the mall and in the store I was helping my (tall & thin) friend look for jeans, so the sales lady came over and chuckled at me and said "oh the larger sizes are over there." (Pointing to plus section) it was lovely that she simply assumed I was trying to buy myself size 2 jeans even though obviously I'm not a size 2. Wtf ... I left.
On the flip side, hitting my goal weight and feeling pretty proud some guy pointed at me in a public eatery saying loudly "get this one a cheeseburger!" So I guess the moral is women are either too fat or thin. Beats me!2 -

That is actually so adorable.
Although for a moment I was concerned he meant like, beard beard, like some celebrity men.
LOL I thought that too.
But that kid is pretty wise for a 5 year old and I hope no one ever corrupts the way he thinks.0 -
Not really on topic...but had an ex tell me that his friend didn't think I was at all attractive.
Like why tell me that? Something you really don't have to tell someone.3 -
This thread looked like it was going to be fun when I read, The Nudist People. Then I put my readers on and was like, ughhhhh...rudist.2

I had a sales associate in Victoria Secret tell me that the size medium pants I had picked out would shrink. I still have them and have to roll them down a few inches at the waist because they are too big now and no they didn't shrink! I also had a catcaller scream "Ride fatty" while I was out riding my bike. Some people are just stupid and some are just mean.2

I was out at a pub with a group of friends a few years back, one of my female friends who had kind of been "huggie" that night went to the bar and ended up punching a chick in the face. I didn't know then, but I found out a couple months later the girl she punched told my friend "If that fat guy was the best I could do, I'd kill myself!" My fiancée died in a car accident a couple years prior to this night. That is why she is one of my best friends, she knew how devastated I would have been had I heard someone say that.5

Online dating. Need I say more? A lot of men show their true colors through the anonymity of the internet. Sending rude messages just because they don't like fat chicks2

My friends and even people I have just met, has never bullied me or stated anything
(to my face) about my weight. It was my family that did the most damage to me. Now, as an adult, I have learned my worth, they cannot hurt me now.4 -

I don't want to take anything away from what you said. Because we are all on our own journeys. But I kinda have the opposite thing going on. I had a bad MV accident and while recovering I just started packing on the weight, and nobody in my family said a darn thing. Maybe it's one of those careful what you wish for things, but I really do wish someone had grabbed me by the shoulders and said mate, you are letting yourself go and you've got to put the brakes on.1 -

I completely understand this! My senior year in high school, I was gaining weight, due to not being as active as I was playing soccer and in dance. So, I ate the same without being productive. My dad was the only one that pulled me aside, and nicely encouraged me to start losing weight. He motivated me and supported me, and I did lose that weight! I completely understand how you wish you had someone supportive help open your eyes.
However, in my early 20s, after my dad had passed, cousins, my younger sister, aunts, all that I was close too started in on me, and it wasn't encouraging. I didn't see what they saw, I didn't feel fat, I just felt they were mean. They stated things while they were angry over a situation, not because they wanted to help.

To those who have had problems gaining or losing weight:
We all know people can be rude. The world is full of cruel people always making fun of someones weight. The good thing is always having family and friends to be there with you through it all. Also having apps and trainers to help you reach your goal is great.
My question is. What are some hateful things people have said to you about your weight and how did you respond to it??
Who the *kitten* cares what people say about my weight? I sure as hell don't. I learned a long time ago that life is too short to care what other people ( esp people I don't know or don't like) think about me.1 -

My line manager asked me when my baby was due.0

Doesn't he realize that Italians have many talents??0 -

As a child and young teen I just got a lot of 'you're fat', afterwards nobody ever insulted me, at least directly.
In my adult life - 6 years ago I was at an event and 2 acquaintances of mine were walking behind. I don't know what the guy said or what face he pulled, but the girl responded with "it's not that bad, a bit of working out can fix it". I felt disgusting, totally ruined the day for me. I was overweight, my self esteem was low and I didn't have the courage to turn around and say anything.
And then 2 years ago an old relative asked me "why don't you give some of your fat to your sister, she's so skinny". I said nothing, but it also ruined my day and now makes me anxious every time I see that man. Last time I saw him, I already had lost the majority of my extra weight. He just stared at me, looked me up and down and said I've lost weight and gotten curvy growing up. Again I said nothing. Now I think I've grown some confidence and if it ever happens again, I will stand up for myself.
It's actually quite therapeutic to write this down. I only had told the last incident to 1 person recently.
Oh, forgot, my own mother from time to time says from which ares of my body I should lose weight more and which ones look fine now. I had a conversation about that and she stopped it.4 -
the worst one that stuck with me doesn't even sound ALL that terrible compared to some other things people have said to me over the years. But when I was about 13 years old, I was 5'6" and wore size 11, I definitely had a weight problem long before that but honestly was sort of growing into my body and developing an hourglass figure...that's about the size I am now, age 41 and 5'8" after much work and weight loss...but anyway, my stepmom's friend, a professional woman in her 40s, was having a clothing party with these UGLY clothes like bedazzled, jeweled sweaters and slacks, and I wasn't interested (I liked stonewash jeans and t-shirts, it was 1989)...so she said to me "They even have plus sizes - for you". And it broke my heart! I never felt so ashamed and embarrassed about my body/weight as I did then. Even though as a little kid every time I went to the doctor he lectured my mom about my obesity in front of me. That lady's comment hurt worse.2

I actually never thought I was a fat person until people called me names. And growing up I still didn't think I was that bad, until people called me more names. I hovered in a range/size for years and was like "just stay there." And I did but I always felt bad about myself. Then I reached my heaviest and had to have been in denial until I saw pictures and I felt gutted. I was like, guess I am this big fat ugly POS everyone always said I was.
I've never gone back to my highest but I've gone up, back down, back up, back down. I'm about middle now.
Everyone acted so shocked when I lost the weight (because I guess my role was never meant to be the thin one) I was supposed to be the fat one.
But no matter my weight, size, etc. I still have always felt fat. It's been repeated into my head for as long as I can remember.
Worse, at my heaviest whenever someone else lost weight my nose was rubbed in it like a dog who had pissed on the carpet. "See, doesn't so & so look great now?" Hmmm, now I wonder why I feel so bad about myself ?? ...1
