    My mother-in-law made me stand belly-to-belly with my pregnant wife for a picture. In the 14 years I've been married and/or dating my wife, it was the only time she ever really bothered me.

    I was running a Warrior Dash...actually running...and I passed a thinner chick who was *walking* and after I went by she said, "Oh no, I am NOT getting passed by a fat chick"...she started running and passed me (eventually I passed her again because she didn't have the endurance, but I'll never forget it - it was my first race).

    Something very simmilar happened to me during WD... I passed a group of thinner girls. I wasn't even running running just sort of cruising and every time I passed them they would speed up then walk, look back and laugh. I ended up passing them on one of the obsticals that they got caught on. It was one where you climb up a rock wall then slide down a pole. One of the girls was apparently afraid of heights and slowed her group up. They finished a good 10 mins behind me. Karma I tell ya.

    Does it make anyone else feel uncomfortable when people commenting constantly on the weight they have lost? I just feel like Im more than my weight and yes it sometimes is nice to have it recognized... sometimes its awkward.

    I've gotten asked if I was pregnant. At fourteen years old. This was a few years ago, but at one point my mom thought I was pregnant and was bawling trying to get me to confirm to her that I was a virgin and that I really wasn't pregnant. It was a mess. I'm like "sorry mom...I guess I just got fat."

    I home-school the kiddos and someone once asked me if I had physical education as part of my curriculum because it looked like I could use it.:grumble:

    I gained 30lbs in the year that followed because I started "dieting". Had never been concerned about my weight before that being said to me. I weighed 170 then (and now, cuz I lost what I gained)

    That's reality, so I can either lose the weight or suck it up.
    I choose to be fit for a host of reasons, but one of them is that I don't want to be the target of people's inane jabs.


    What gets me is I'm normally only "picked on" when I'm doing something active. If I'm not doing anything out of the "chubby girl norm" no one bothers me. When I was thinner it was the same, though, it was meant to be positive. As a chubby girl it's less likely I'm going to be hit on when I'm out or grabbed, or touched in an innapropriate manner. For that I am sometimes greatful I seem to not be able to lose weight. I can go about my business without being harrassed too much. As a thinner woman I had a much higher incidence of inappropriate things happening to me.

    I was getting a pedicure after having my daughter. I was racked with post-partum depression and still dragging around all the baby weight.
    The lady doing my nails pointed to my belly and said "you pregnant with bebe!"
    I said "no."
    She glared at me in disbelief "are you SUUUUUUUURE????"
    So I said: "Well I am SUUUUURE you just lost your tip!"
    wtf................

    Getting changed in the changing rooms at a shop with my son:-

    Josh 'whys your belly so fat and squidgy?'
    Me 'When you were a baby you used to live in there'
    quiet pause whilst he thinks this comment through
    Josh 'How many babies have you got in there now?'

    All I could hear was chuckles from other changing rooms.

    I had to laugh but inside I was crying!!

    Yea sometimes the most hurtful comments come from our kids who don't know any better :\ My son's said similar things.

    I have several from my now ex husband one of which was when he had to pick me up from work in his lowered Nissan truck, while going over a bridge the truck was bouncing and hitting the tops of the tires. My ex looked at me as ask how much do you F$%^ weigh anyway? I was a size 12 at the time. Then a few years ago I had ballooned up considerably he looked at me and said "look what you have done to your self!" He was cheating on me with a 23 year old girl at the time... Oh the good times... I am bigger than most of my family since having kids and so I have always been pretty much the target with their comments. Its cool though because though I have tried to lose weight before and I have lost about 165 pounds of ex husband I am now doing this for me and no one else. God Bless you all!!!

    "If you get fat again, I'll leave you." Said the guy who had never seen me fat (but did see pictures). Oh boy, did I make him pay for that! And yes, I got fat again. And yes, he apologized. Plenty. And said he was wrong and that it didn't matter and that I was beautiful. But I never really did forgive him. And the last year we were together, I wouldn't say he was getting play very often, either. And he still wanted it. I made him beg.

    Bwahahaha! People need to watch what they say.

    This Thanksgiving I had the family over for Turkey Dinner and neither of my parents said anything about the 80 pounds I had lost until after dinner, then my dad says, "just don't put that weight back on." Does anyone wonder how I got fat in the first place?

    one of my ex's told me she was surprised she ever started dating me b/c she usually went for someone more toned, better looking. she continued with "you'll never be a calvin klein under wear model like <ex b/f name>" and that she deserved to be with someone she was attracted to.

    a few months later i attempted suicide the first time.

    Boy did she get that one wrong! You're a good looking guy. (no, I'm not hitting on you, I suspect I'm twice your age!)

    I went to a psychiatrist about some severe depression I was having, and I told her I wanted a weight neutral drug if she was going to prescribe one because a drug that made me gain weight would just depress me more. She told me, "Then go get bariatric surgery, and you won't be depressed anymore." Seriously? >.<

    Wow, that has to be one of the most incorrect, insensitive, and unprofessional things a psychiatrist could possibly say. I don't have much respect for your average head shrinker, and she is a prime example of why!

    I was sitting in a chain-style nail salon getting a pedicure and the pedicurist reaches up and rubs my belly and tells me ... "it will be strong boy. Just like father."

    To which I answer ... "then it will be short but tasty because that On (that was her name on her name tag) is a "food baby." I had a burrito for lunch. Thanks though."

    I walked out before she put the polish on.

    when is your baby due? as well as a hair-stylist telling me to never grow out my bangs on my head because I have such a round face it would make me look fat! never went to see her again.

    On my first meeting with my new doctor, he mentioned that I needed to lose some weight. I agreed, so I didn't take it so bad. On the second meeting with him, a month later, he said,"Your blood pressure would be better if you would just lose weight". I said, "I HAVE BEEN LOSING WEIGHT!" I had lost fifthteen pounds between the two meeting but he hadn't looked on my chart and noticed. To make it worst he was almost as heavy as I was.

    En route to the university I worked in, I annoyed a young man who was driving the other way (I believe he felt the entire road was his and that my mere presence was offensive to him)... He rolled down his window and, purple faced with animation yelled 'you fat cow. you fat ugly cow. you fat, fat cow'. Eloquent, it was.

    Anyway, later the same day, I walked in to teach a class I hadn't taught previously. And there, three or four rows from the front, was this young man....

    It was a truly delicious moment. The look on his face. Fabulous.

    :laugh: I love this!! Darn kids! LOL
    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! :smile: :smile:

    My mother told me if I got any bigger then a size 16 she would not make my clothes anymore and I would have to get a job to buy my own and fat people clothes are more expensive. I was 18 . I got and job and started starving myself. :(
    When I was in my 20's and only gained a little weight back (I was a size 12) a guy I dated told me when we were breaking up I was really pretty and I could be a plus size model but to forget my dreams of straight modeling because I liked to eat too much and I was only eating one meal a day around that time. (it was all junk food)
    People are mean ..sucks
