What was your worst "fat" moment?

There are many, but the worst was probably when a friend thought I was poking fun at his very thin girlfriend and said to her "Don't worry, 2-3 of you could easily fit inside of her."

The first time an ex-boyfriend called me fat was a year after having our baby, which we had placed up for adoption, he said "I'm not as attracted to you, you're not thin anymore." That was a rough one.

My bandmate saying "You shouldn't buy those cookie.....s" on tour..


I was 22 when I had a baby and have since been battling my weight. I'm about 20 pound heavier now than I was post baby, I am the heaviest I have ever been in my life.That the roughest part for me. And while I'm an adult and less shallow than ever-- I still remember all those hurtful comments and relive the terrible feeling they gave me, by knowing I'm even heavier now.

My fat moment was the exact same. If another person ask me if im pregnant I cant be responsible for my answer.

Oh man there are so many... Most memorable are probably these:

1) I was bullied at school for 5 years for being fat (including being thrown down flights of stairs, punched repeatedly in the stomach, as well as psychological bullying. This was age 7-12). One time my bullies told me we were friends again and would I like to play tag with them (we were about 9 years old). I was so happy it had finally ended and agreed. We started playing, and I was tagged. I started to run after them and they all started screaming "QUICK HELP US! FATTY'S TRYING TO SIT ON US!" I was mortified and spent the rest of my junior school break times in the library.

2) Around the same time, in maths class we had to be weighed and stand in class order of weight. Obviously I had to stand at the end of the line and the teacher made a "funny joke" about a girl being the fattest and announced to the class my exact weight.

3) Also around this time, being "punished" by a teacher (who knew I was being bullied because of my weight) for not handing my work in on time - by making me stand in the playground at lunch time in my swimsuit so everyone could see me.

4) Everytime I have ever gone into the kitchen (even for a glass of water) and my dad has said "Oh for goodness sake, what are you eating NOW?" (This still happens.)

5) Every time a kid has ever asked if I have a baby in my tummy. (I'm a trainee teacher.)

6) When I went to Africa this summer and a guy came up to me and said "I hope one day I have a girlfriend who is nice and fat like you." (He meant it as a compliment. I didn't take it as one.)

7) Every time anyone has ever said "You're vegan? But aren't vegans skinny?"

Even when I lost weight before (got down to 147lbs from 231lbs) and a guy said to me "Wow, you look great! Cos, lets be honest, you were f**king fat before."

Sigh, so many others but I won't keep ranting lol.

I don't have a "worst" fat moment, but, one thing that made me snap and fully commit to losing weight was being dumped by every guy I've dated because of my weight. I been overweight since I was 8 years old, and ever since, I been told that I'm fat and ugly. Guys told me that guys don't date fat girls, they just **** them. I started changing my life as a middle finger to all those b**tards who said that to me.

My fat moments are when I go shopping with my friend who is skinny (she wears a size small) and we go into all the stores that clearly do not carry my size, so I look like a tool while she's in the waiting room and I'm standing in the store waiting for her while the other skinny girls are rummaging around through the racks and they look at me like I'm a tool because I'm the only fat chick in the store.

You look absolutely fantastic. Congratulations on doing so well, slowly and carefully.
I don't know about worst fat moment, but I hate seeing photos of myself when I'm overweight. Ugh

A few years ago in Turkey I was queuing for a go on the water slide. When I reach the top the guy supervising told me it wasn't suitable for pregnant women. Anyway, 4 years later I've got round to going on a diet. 2stone and 2.5lb down so far since July. Finally a "normal" bmi, however happy to lose maybe at least another stone. HOORAY! x

Aagh! When I went to ride the ferris wheel with my son and they couldn't connect the waist bar! Humiliating! Thankfully, that was MANY, MANY years ago but I have never forgotten that feeling.

This is an easy one for me... and it's from a long time ago. I was sitting with my roommate and a mutual female friend. I had my shirt off and was drinking a beer, and she said my gut looked looked like Homer Simpson. :embarassed:

when my boyfriend of many years told me he didn't find me attractive anymore because I had let myself go... at the time I weighed less than I currently do.. at that point I thought well if this guy who has supposedly loved me for years thinks I'm disgusting who is going to want me.. and I hid away for a while.. gained 20 more lbs.. than I came to my senses and was like.. oh wait.. he's an idiot and I'm awesome..and here I am..losing weight. For me.

This happened to me as well. My husband told me I was boring (sexually) because I was so fat. I lost a whopping 5 stone and as soon as I lost it he started showing interest again so I filed for divorce. I could never get past that remark, he broke my heart.

I tried to go on one my most favorite rides called the freakout, and the guy couldn't click the front part that was over my chest to the seat. Everyone looked at me, all those skinny blonde kids, and I ended up getting off before it started and I was devistated.

Mine are pretty simple: a size 18 denim skirt being tight and being a female in her 20's over 200lbs....both are / were totally unacceptable to me.

I started exercising that day and found mfp a few months later. I'm not sure of my exact size now as I'm in the process of shedding the last 10 to 15lbs but a few weeks ago I tried on a size 6 demin skirt and it fit Probably still too snug but that's why I have 10 or 15 more pounds to go

Knowing this is not the first time I have felt like this... xx

1. Being to fat to do simulated sky diving
2. Being too fat to go horseback riding on the beach on my anniversary and then having to explain to my husband why I couldn't go, then he stayed back with me.
3. Being to fat to jump on the trampolines on pier 39 when just 2 years prior I was thin and mastered them!
4.Having kids in the grocery store say out loud mommy, look how big she is, and then seeing the mom quickly walk away . . that sucked
5.an ex boyfriend who asked if i would not mention that we still sleep together because he was embarrassed and was telling his friends that he was hooking up with someone beautiful, which i was not (actually his exact words)
6.Having to always ask where the plus size section in the store was, and then the employee telling em they don't have one
7.military ball, 'nuff said
8. my husbands ex-wife of years asking him what he sees in me?
9. all my doctor appointments ending in "do you know what you are at risk of being overweight?"
