The rudest thing anyone said to you about your weight?

My ex dumped me because I'm fat. You can imagine how it could break one's confidence and self esteem. It was the most painful one for me.
Are you serious?? what an AssH**e!!!
Yup, But it kinda jump started my weightloss journey. I dropped nearly half the amount of weight I want to and I ran into him recently. His reaction?? His jaws hit the floor and he said "You look really pretty". He's been texting and I ignoring..lol.Revenge is the best dish served!0 -
My doctor said to me, "You're overweight, do you exercise at all?" I said "Yeah I go to the gym 5 days a week and several times a day between mon to fri". His response was "Well whatever you do, DON'T stop going, or you'll get EVEN FATTER."
He didn't even bother to talk to me about my exercise or what I was eating. This was totally irresponsible.

Sort of, "reverse", but I had an ex-boyfriend tell me "wow, you look really different, have you been working out more?" when I really hadn't -- apparently I looked even worse before? I might have been being to sensitive, but HEY! He shouldn't be commenting on my weight anyay.0

This one is funny! My roommate, who has never been overweight and probably never weighed over 100lbs in her life (she is a tiny little thing), was at a restaurant with my parents and I and the waitress came up to her and said - "Wow, you look really familiar! But have you lost a TON of weight??" It was hysterical. :laugh:0

I had some snotty college age guys walk by me in the store parking lot..I had an apple in my mouth as I was loading the car up on groceries when they started laughing about "the luau pig". They started laughing even more when said apple brained the joker in the back of the head.
My personal favorite response to any jokes about being overweight is:
"I may be fat, but your ugly...and I can diet." 0 -
Not rude but hurtful.
My wife confessed that I was just no longer attractive to her.
But she loved me...:huh:
That is what got me off my fat butt and in the gym and pushing away from the table.
Had I chosen to remain fat, our marriage would not have survived.
She's very fit and that after having 5 of my kids, so there was no making excuses around her. If anybody had a right to bloat up like a blimp, it was her!
But no.
After each kid, she'd buckle down, lose the fat and get back in peak condition. And the guy she married was in peak condition: ME, but after an accident, I ballooned 75 lbs, and let's face facts.
Fat is just UNATTRACTIVE!
I lost the weight and won back her affections. Today, I've set newer and even higher goals - FOR MYSELF!
It is nice to have a passionate relationship once again, and it also is wonderful feeling great, looking good and being healthy.
My whole life is transformed.0 -

Yeah I'm 3 stone heavier than my boyfriend. This situation feels pretty familiar, but I'm working on it.
Thanks for sharing, and well done xx0 -
I had a doctor like this once. He almost cost me the ability to walk because every time I went to him he would say nothing was wrong I was fat that was all and if I wanted to feel better all I had to do was push myself away from the table!. After two years of this, I had to be rushed into emergency to put my hip back where it belonged and the emergency doctor warned that I may never walk again because the problem had been left untreated for so long.0

My now sister-in-law (SIL) is a total brat. I was over at her and my brothers new house one day and I was sitting in a recliner in their basement. There was a large entertainment center behind the chair and it wouldn't let me recline. I was fine with it, but the SIL insisted that my brother either move the entertainment center or the chair I was in so I could recline. Well my brother came over and moved the entertainment center and she blurts out " Oh, well. That must say something about you're weight Mel. He would rather move that huge entertainment center than you. hahaha" What gets me is that the entertainment center was on wheels and she was bigger than me! I will show her! She gained weight since then and I have lost! So there!

When I weighed 350 lbs. I ran into a old high school classmate. He said, "Is that you in there."0

When I was out walking to a bar with a few of my friends and my girlfriend at the time. Two girls popped their heads up out of a sunroof on a limo and yelled, "hey fatty." a few times.0

When I first began getting fat, like most guys in denial, I was stuffing the lard in jeans to drool over the sides and protrude out front like a 7th month pregnancy.Nice teenager at the till of the supermarket:
"You should go before me (smiling), in your condition you should not wait standing in a queue" (ie meaning pregnant)
Heuuuuu.... wait...... what?
Right ok, might have save me 10min but I will always remember how awful I was feeling.
After a comment from a friend, I just stopped wearing jeans...lol
It was the jeans that were the problem:laugh: :laugh:
Anyway, I used these incidents as motivators.
That is why we're all here, and the world is cruel.
That's reality.0 -
Well I am anorexic and I just got out of the hospital and was back at work and one of my co workers(who is a nurse mind you) said YOUARE EATING AGAIN..You are going to get huge...thanks..didnt eat the rest of that day or the next. People dont think before they speak. People will ask me what I weigh(I cant go back to work full time until my weight is up to a safe number) but really? Do I ask you how much you weigh?
Back in high scholl before this all started my coach said I could prob run faster if I lost some weight...so I did...and did..just never stopped..0 -
the rudest thing ever said about my weight, was not said directly to me. It was said to my husband. My mother today him on our wedding day, that I would always be a big a girl. I am 5'5" and was 137 lbs at the time she said this. Glad I didn't hear about her saying it until after the wedding.0
-
Im sure rude things have been said to me about my weight,but I didnt care then and dont care now so nothing really stands out0
-
Nothing really rude just comments. Had the "are you pregnant" comments a number of times and my parents used to always comment on what I ate, "do you really need that peice of bread with dinner", "are you really going to drink another can of coke". Yes!! The more they would comment, the more I wanted to show them that I could eat what I wanted!
Now they say I'm too thin. Lol. Can't win!0 -
When I look at your double chin it makes me want to vomit.
Yeah, they suck...but ignorant people like that just make people like me stronger!0 -
In 2003, my now ex husband, on my birthday, told me he was no longer attracted to me and moved out. LMAO Best F'ing thing that ever happened to me, though at the time I was a mess. I was more upset about the "no longer attracted to you comment" then him leaving, since he was cheating on me. :grumble: But hey, everything happens for a reason, and I'm finally happy! :bigsmile:0

Shortly after reaching my goal weight a 'friend' asked me if I wanted to join Weightwatchers with them FFS!! I was crestfallen! Oddly enough, I haven't seen her for a while - I wonder how her weight loss is going....0

Last summer on vacation at the pool. This guy got mad because my daughter bumped into his kid who was scared of the water (hmmm maybe you shouldn't have had him in the pool). When he grabbed her by the elbow, I naturally needed to know why this stranger was putting his hands on my child. Instead of calmly explaining to me what she had done, he began to verbally assault me and my child. He called her fat, and called me 'Big Mama'. I was devastated!0

I'm just mad that you didn't leave him first! What a jerk!!0 -
I had gained 40 lbs with my first pregnancy and had only lost 20lbs by my 6 week check up. My OBGYN got on my case and was asking why I hadn't lost anymore. When I didn't have any answers for her she said, "Well-you just might have to go a little hungry. It won't hurt."
My husband slipped during an argument-"I didn't mean to call you FAT (instead of THAT.)" Ouch.
Another annoying, but not necessarily rude comment is the one about how "skinny" my legs are. It reminds me that they probably wouldn't look so skinny if they weren't hanging out of all that fat around my mid-section!!0 -
I gained weight after I went back to work at an office job..full time. Was soo active before, super busy with kids, dog,long distance running, weights.....I never sat down. Big adjustment after being SAHM for 10 + years. My metabolism took a big hit and couldn't find time to work out.
My mom said "Well, you knew that would happen" weight gain. You are just getting older accept it" NO I WILL NOT! In jan im starting to train for a half marathon. I need to run, mentaly and physically.
I'm going to prove her wrong.
RUDE!0 -
Ex-hubby told me I was too fat to go out with him. That is part of why he is EX. But later I found out he had a sweetie on the side. A total jerk. Took me 10 years but it is in the past and will stay that way.0

I used to work as a preschool teacher, and one morning one of my little 3 year old students asked me "teacher how'd you get so fat? I just ignored his question and went about serving them breakfast. He just keep on an on saying... "teacher, you are as big as a big huge tree" and of course all of the other children would burst out laughing, because he was so funny. I let it go on a little bit longer, then I went to his side and nelt down beside him an said.. "Matthew you want to know how I got so big? I got so big by eating rude little boy's like you for breakfast!", I then rubbed my tummy and said " I sure am HUNGRY TODAY, so you better be nice or i'll eat you for breakfast!" lol That was the last time he ever said anything about teacher being fat! 0

"They sure fed you well in the U.S" (told by my friends, right after I returned to Germany from my exchange year in the U.S. -.-)
"Remember, when you were so skinny people used to make of you. And now look at you" *evil laugh* (also my friends) -.-0 -
"You just don't look like yourself. You know it is ok to starve yourself for a few months and to go to the bathroom if you feel like you've over eaten"0

When i was younger i had to go to a wedding as a bridesmaid, i was given a fitted purple dress and black fish net tights which had little flowers embroidered into them.
It was a really nice outfit, and i felt alright in it.
But my dad came over to me and said i looked so fat that people would assume i was pregnant and in the fishnets my legs looked like pieces of tightly wrapped like steak or something..
I was only about 8 aswell... Really got to me.0 -
No one experience really sticks out for me .. when you've been heavy 60% of your life, you've heard it all. I got made fun of in grade/middle school for my weight obviously ... In highschool im sure ppl were saying *kitten* too .... I've only heard a few to my face .. but i used the defense mechanism of pointing it out first so then if people say anything, at least I'm in on the 'joke' . I tend to focus on the positive --- the compliments and looks that I get when I eat healthy, exercise and feel good are Amazing . My dad is my biggest cheerleader ... I'll walk into the kitchen and he'll ALWAYS make a comment (these days, they're good ... before, they were bad lol) .. like "wow you look like your shaping up .. keep it going!" . I guess the one "good" thing is no one has seen me thin ... so they dont know what I could possibly look like ... I'm not sure if thats a blessing or a curse =\0
