what are some of the worst things people have said to u when

i got that one about 3 mos after i had my twins, friend i hadn't seen in awhile asked me when i was having the baby she didn't know that i had already had them!

The one that I have been unable to shake off was said right in front of me, to someone else, in reference to my husband.

"He is used to being with the model type and look what he is with now. But he is so happy!"

I was just sitting there like WTH?!? We had been together for 6 years and this person was dragging up his ex, who ended up stealing his grandmother's identity to support her drug habit!!

After I had my son, a kindergartener in my class asked me " If you don't have a baby in your belly anymore - how come your still fat".


Ouch >.<

As a child, I was overweight. My mother, whom was of a normal weight, even after having several children, used to ride my a** unmercifully about losing weight.

She would make comments DAILY about anyything and everything weight-related you could imagine.

At family gatherings, she would even have loud conversations about how I need to lose weight.

I heard the following comments were heard regularly during my childhood:

 "You have such a pretty face."

"The boys are gonna be crazy about you when you lose weight."

"You could never wear something like that!"

"If you just wouldn't eat so much."

Crushing and constant, needless to say, my self-esteem and self-worth were negatively affected by her. I soon began to avoid her, as much as one can when you live with someone.

The summer between 7th and 8th grade, I decided I've had enough of the ridicule, and lost 30 lbs after learning about diet and exercise in health magazines.

I kept the weight off for years. Around age 25, the weight slowly began to creep back on...

Now, after being on MFP for a few months, my weight's back to "my normal," and my body's feeling firm and tight.

My mother, however, is now about 50 lbs overweight. Although it's tempting to point out how the tables have turned, I could never bring myself to do it...too hurtful to hear such, trust me.

Oh, and i hate the chipmunk cheeks comment! No matter how much I slim down, I will have the full cheeks...I had them since birth.
An ex also called me the thunder from down under due to the slight jiggle in my thighs:( (I'm sorry, even as i tone, the toned curves will never be skinny jean legs...haha)

HATE THE "CHIPMUNK CHEEKS" i have them too!!!

It is worse when I break out in full laugh/smile (which is often)...and this dumb guy just blurts out "I have big ole chipmunk cheeks"
(As if this is a compliment?) I wanted to slug him--okay, not really. ha ha.

Several of the things posted here have happen to me at all ages of my life. The most recent was right before I found MFP. I was sitting in the passenger seat next to my husband while waiting in the drive-thru of Burger King. A car full of guys drove by and shouted something along the lines of - Order a salad you fat as*.I could hear them all laughing as they drove away. That same day a little girl asked her mom why I was so fat. The mom quickly covered the little girl's mouth and tried to silently scold her- tried to say something along the lines of 'we don't say that to other people.' The little girl then replied, 'but you do mom.' I could not help but turn around and give the mother the nastiest look of disaproval followed by a long, "Wow." She switched registers after that. I constantly see her at our local store. She doesn't know my name, but she puts her head down or looks the other way when she sees me.

With both situations, my husband did not hear what they had said- he doesn't pay attention to the people around us. He has this way of tuning everything out, while I am constantly listening to everything going on around me and watching to see if they are looking/talking about me. It isn't he first time I've had things yelled at me, but I was more than a little upset. When we got home I wasn't hungry anymore. I'm not sure how I got over them- to be honest, I think I filed them away in the 'deal with it later' folder.

Three years ago I went to see some family members for the first time since I started losing weight. They called me beautiful to my face, but I found out recently that they held some type of caucus once I went home and agreed that I didn't look well, to put it mildly.

Whatever. I am not living my life to please others anymore.

The worst thing said to me was "is your baby due this week?" I replied no... I have a brain tumor from a disease that puts out too much Cortisol and ACTH hormones from my pituitary gland in my brain. I was at a major hospital that is well known for this type of surgery and was getting my pre-op tests done. I had to take my daughter out of school that day to help me because I was so weak and needed help. My daughter was 12 years old and shocked at my response. I am always so polite and nice to people... and that comment just hit my last nerve. I was afraid of the surgery... it had so many risks. I had a rare form of Cushings Disease. I gained about 30lbs a month on 1,000 calories a day for about a year before an Endocronolgist and Neurosurgeon discovered what was going on with my body. The tumor didnt show up on the MRI. They had to go in my groin (both sides) up to my brain to find it. This was six years ago the day after Thanksgiving. I am just now able to exercise. I did loose weight after the surgery but still have mid section thickness. I finally have my hormones into control to exercise slowly and work on my muscles. I do not have a pituitary gland and am adrenal insufficant. I AM GRATEFUL TO BE ALIVE!
