    In the nicest tone possible - Tell them it's rude and inconsiderate to talk about your body that way - "If you'd like to give me a compliment there are better ways to do it" then smile sweetly and walk away.

    I just tell them to go to hell. But now I can laugh about it, because it's gone!

    I haven't been on MFP for very long but I have lost 5lbs and 7 inches in the last month after having two babies in 2 years. I was feeling really good about my progress and then I went to the grocery store and the cashier looked at my stomach and says " Are you pregnant again already?" So frustrating! AND I had my 9 month old baby with me! Isn't there some kind of unwritten rule that unless its really obvious that someone is pregnant that you shouldn't ask that question? Oh well....I guess I will just have to work harder to bet rid of the post baby belly I still have!

    My mom used to always say "you would be so pretty if you just lost some weight", she ruined my self esteem with her never ending comments, I stopped talking/seeing to her 3 years ago, I realized I don't that sort of person in my life!

    Oh RaeBae honey! I'm sorry to hear that! People and family especially can be so cruel. My worst thing..... is being called "gorda" (fatty in spanish) all my life. Finally got tired of it at the age of 43 and here I am....down 33 pounds since last year and now they say I'm too skinny!! What the heck? I learned from all this, love yourself and no matter what other idiotic things people say, you know you are better than that! :-) Chin up girly! You'll look sexy and hot in no time!

    My husband and I were leaving Wal-Mart one evening and someone yelled out of their car at me "Want another biscuit?" and another time I was running through my neighborhood and some white trash crack head guy yelled "Run, run..." as he made some stupid limping motion. I was PISSED both times and had a few choice words both instances, but it only fueled me to workout harder and be that much more diligent in my food choices. You can fix obesity; you can't fix inward ugliness near as easily.

    Before I lost my weight I was in a store clothes shopping with a friend that was alot smaller then me. & one of the sales girls came up to me & told me bluntly that They didn't carry any clothes big enough for me. I was totally crushed!

    Only once did someone not friendly to my nature ask me if I was with child, and I told her to look forward to allotment deductions for the next 18years.

    ALL THE TIME! Oh and I get...you are going to have a heart attack early. I know that is possible, but I dont wanna hear it all the time!~ Oh and just that steer look from my mum, like, you know what im thinking - loose weight please. Children are pretty cruel. I hate to think what their parents are telling them about overweight people (this I mean those in my family) I got told I had gotten really fat, I told him he had gotten really rude (he was 10 and should have known better) . Told the mum she just laughed it off..I just think it wasnt nice. I tell my children NOT to do those sorts of things and that its nasty. Anyway, my vent over LOL!

    I was at school and walking through the quad to my group of friends who were undercover, its was raining but not to heavy. We wore white shirts and then all of a sudden a boy yelled out 'I think you should hurry up, no one wants to see that' I didn't really understand at first then I noticed that the shirt was a little wet and just clinging to me as tight as a swimsuit. Well I couldn't run cause then he would have won but all I wanted to do was burst into tears.

    And every time I think of that all I want to do is cry.. yeah im changing my physical appearance now but gosh its so much harder to get all the emotional stuff in line and out of my head. He doesn't give me strength to change myself like all of yours guys bad situations, he makes me feel like the kid who would skip our on p.e just so people didn't see me attempt to run or who skipped swimming so I didn't have to get changed in front of everyone, which only means I need to get mentally stronger which again I am working on.

    People can be so cruel and they just don't realise that a tiny little comment can sometimes never leave a persons mind, because it never left mine.

    The worst.. was being approached by a random man in the street who got really into my face and told me I should go on a diet..

    The best insult... There was an advert in t he uk several years ago that had a man running away from this huge belly bouncing down t he street after him. The tag line was " Belly's gonna get ya!" I can't remember what it was advertising now..
    Anyway.. I was walking down the street and this boy.. maybe about 8, was on the other side. All he did was point with a big smile and say "Belly's gonna get ya!" I burst out laughing on the spot...

    thats brutal! but I'm pretty sure he isn't happy with his life...,that's why he is trying to pick on you and most likely others. trying to make himself feel good. pay him no mind!

    People say crappy things! You have to reach inside and realize...GOD DOESN'T MAKE JUNK !!!! Some of those friends and family mean well-they THINK they are helping you - when in turn, it just makes you feel like crap. Remember how this feels and never treat anyone like this OR let your children feel this way ! WE WANT POSITIVE FEMALES / MALES OUT THERE with Great Self -esteem! Don't put people down-and/or just don't let them get to you ! <3
    I loathe negativity -

    My uncle once came up to me (years ago when I was on a med that added to my weight), "You look like you've finally been eating well-- like you have the big hips and butt and everything...I mean, ummm like womanly!" (On this side of the family, this meant I was fat, ha ha)

    When it's some stranger I could care less, but my mother constantly used to tell me I needed to lose weight, still does and I'm 28 and a size 12-14. Even when i was a size 10 she would bug me about my weight. Now that I'm married and live 25 min away I find I do not call or initiate visits with her. I still talk to her and love her but I just can't listen to her talk about my weight, or her friends weight or anybody else's business. I know it's that she is unhappy with her own weight but my god woman, I'm your kid.
