Wow, I' m reading the above posts and some people are so rude! Death stares to anyone who feels the need to say something negative about my weight.
My favorite, You're cute for a fat girl. Also, "Your brother is soo fine but you're soo fat."0 -
"You're fat".0

I had the same thing happen to me. I've always been the fat one. Every time I run into family friends that I have not seen in a while...especially the older folks...they confuse me with my older sister who was always the thin one. They are always amazed at how much I have lost by saying " you were so fat and look at you now "0

While walking the dog one day, a convertible car with 2 young men stopped at the stop sign nearest me. I heard one tell the other "Look, a hog walking a dog"....OUCH!0

I sat on a plastic chair at a birthday party and the leg snapped. Everyone's face said it all.... hostess was gracious but I always sit on ground or porch at outdoor parties now.
Also sad --- "Mom, you're the fattest mom of all the moms in my class."0 -
Sisters can be the worst.. what is wrong with them?0
-
I don't know what was worse, when my 3 year old said she liked daddy's fat tummy, or when my wife said I repulsed her?0

you have a very pretty face....implied that the rest of the body needs work:sick:0

I was getting on to a bus and the driver said " You trying to blow out my tires". Happened many years ago and I wasn't at my heaviest. People can be cruel and that is wqhy we ay it is a cruel world. But people can also be good and then it becomes a good world. I'm glad you are all here trying to do better for yourselves. Keep on smiling all0

One of my students once told me that the back of my neck looked like a package of hot dogs.0

I had the majority of it when I was at school, not so much now, but unfortunately when you are at school it is the time when most stuff sticks in your head!!
Had always had "fatty/eurgh look at the size of her" then one day when I was about 15 a boy I was friends with, but not close, turned to my best friend and whispered something, she suddenly looked horrified, when I made her tell me what he had said afterwards the words were "no-one would ever rape her, she's not pretty enough"
Then when I was 16, I was at the station on my way home from school and a family surrounded me and started taunting me, there were various children ranging from 6-14ish with 3 adults who all joined in, and as i walked to get onto the train one of the adults shouted "who ate all the pies? that fat c**t!!"
Those were probably the worst...what gives me a little satisfaction was one evening in town I was out with my long term boyfriend, I think we had been together for just over a year, and this boy was there are starting trying to be all friendly with my O/H. He was having none of it, and we just walked away while he was called a name I won't repeat on here!0 -
When I lived in Japan, people always told me "You've got a really pretty face, and beautiful eyes, but you should really lose some weight."
Thanks, guys.0 -
a co-worker of mine was having trouble with his gf and so he told me it was over and he had all her clothes and things in her car. he looked at me and said i'd give you her clothes, but no way they'd fit. he's known me for years and has seen the weight i lost, so he knows i've been working at it and his gf is this tiny little blonde who's had two kids. i was just shocked, said nothing and walked away. people need to think before they speak.0

My mom once admitted to me that she's prejudice against overweight people, and that she has ugly thoughts about me because I am heavy. However, at the time she was 50 lbs overweight.0
-
I think that the only thing that hurts me more than anything else is when people say " you shouldn't lose weight, you already don't have boobies or a butt, you gone look anorexic or sick with a big head ". :sad: ...being a female you want that perfect body to feel a certain way, and the more I try to fix it the worse I feel because peoples comments really shoot me down and makes me very depressed....but maybe by joining MFP i can make some new friends that aren't so judgemental but motivational to me.0

Some old lady from my church had approached me while I was sitting next to my friend (and CRUSH!) and she literally said "You getting bigger aren't you? You're gaining weight right? Oh... you need to fix that." So embarassing and rude.
"See you later 300 pound girl!" from my own grandfather. (I've never hit 300lbs either, not even 250!)
"Hey what team do you play for!? Aren't you a linebacker?" from my uncle.
"Do you really think you should be eating that pita chip? As you noticed you are fairly larger than everyone else." A little kid from my church who seemed like he was only 7.
I'm used to hurtful comments at this point. :x0 -
OMG the things people say. When someone asked me when my baby was due, I said "x years ago" (depending on how old they were). It made some people stutter and turn red. Once, I had someone tell me how "disgusting" she thought obese people were. I looked at her (and she was probably at her correct weight but no muscle tone), rolled my eyes and said, "You know, those "disgusting obese" people can lose weight, you on the other hand can get rid of your big nose (it was....) but you'll always be a *****." And walked off.
Strangely enough, I've never heard from her again. :devil:
My husband's brother started ragging on him after not seeing him for almost 10 years. I took him aside and told him to knock it off, that he didn't need to state the obvious and that it was hurtful and wrong. He started blathering on about "ok, ok, but he's fat." And I said "yeah but you've got a roll too (really little but there)- are you going to do anything about it? It doesn't help to make him feel like crap." And then because he was saying, "But he is, he is..." I likened him to a Nazi and the way they categorized people. He's German and Jewish and I knew he'd be mad. It got him to stop picking on my husband.0 -
I think what saddens me about this topic, is that it seems the awful comments come from our parents? I hope I learn enough from my own parents stupid comments to know that putting you down, doesnt build up your self esteem. I refuse to do that to my boys..I am so sorry you guys went thru all of that. I seriously am. I went thru it too.0

oh here is one, I was at the grocery store with my 4day old daughter (she was in the carseat in the cart that I was pushing" and a lady happens to start conversation with me about how lucky I am that I don't have much longer until I give birth (cause it was hot outside). I was like" I'm not pregnant! This is my baby right here" I mean how pathetic is that! lol
I had a guy ask to buy me a drink in a bar that I was actually working in one night. I said no thanks(I was on the clock lol) he says, "Oh, because of the baby?" I said "WHAT baby?" and stared at him for a second before storming away. lol THAT was before I gained weight! I was 130lbs with a flat stomache! I never wore that sweater again though. lol0 -
I remember the main reason as to why I am so self conscious of my weight in the first place. My brother was roughly 14 and I was around 9 or 10. My brother was someone I always looked up to and always took care of me. But still he did it. He had walked by me and said " suck it in " It's not cute to see your gut. At the time I wasn't very big at all and was maybe 100 pounds. But all through high school I never got over 125 and had issues with eating. I loved to eat but wouldn't eat very much because I would worry about gaining weight. And to all those out there who have been teased or ridiculed about any of the weight issues. I think those who pick on us have low self esteem themselves so they have to pick on others to feel better.0

"When are you due?"
And my ankles swell--so that didn't help the situation.0 -
My little nephew at the age of 4 asked me if I had a baby in my belly. And I said no. The he asked me why my belly was so big then.
He was very interested in bellies at that time because his best friends mother was due in a month and had a big belly.
My sister and I started laughing, because I had lost 20 lb. And my sister said that he asked everyone that question no matter the size of the belly.0 -
My mum when talking about some guy
He said to her look at her stuffing her face fat cow
I asked how big was she my mum replied she was bigger than you!
Sad thing is mum mums 56lbs overweight too Pot calling the kettle black0 -
Oh, so many to choose from.
Upon hearing that I was going to be a bridesmaid for a friend's wedding and the dresses would be dark red, my mother said, "Oh, you're going to look like the side of a barn."
Another Mom comment: "It doesn't matter how pretty you are -- if you don't have a nice body, boys won't date you." And then she wondered why I never wore makeup -- well, why bother, Mom, since apparently I'm hideous.
The gynecologist who, in mid exam WITH HIS HAND UP MY HOO-HOO, commented that I needed to lose weight. He's damn lucky that I didn't do a killer Kegel right then and there and crush his hand.
But at the other end of the spectrum, let me say this -- I was having lunch one day with a coworker and talking about some of the **** my mother said to me over the years. Suddenly, this gorgeous Englishman shows up next to our table and says, "I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I couldn't help overhearing what you said, and I just wanted to tell you that you're absolutely beautiful." Awwwwww!0 -

dont you just love mum comments ?
You are beautiful anyway so the guy was right x0 -
I hate how people (me too) can say you're 'skinny' to your face but when you get fatter they never say you're 'fat' to your face!!!
plus, my 14 y/o son gives me a hard time about weighing my food...apparently "no-one does it and it's weird and stupid".0 -

But as to the other part I agree. i got up to 180 with people telling me I wasn't fat. It took an ex to tell me he liked me how I was, but wanted me to be healthy to get me to first see that my weight wasn't where I wanted it to be, but I could change it around on my own.0
