      I don't know how many times I've heard, "you have such a pretty face!" Well, I'm ready to have a great body too! nice to meet you. I just joined and am looking for some motivation. I am the biggest I have ever been and want to lose about 50 lbs.

      I hate this phrase more than words can express........ or...... you would be pretty if you lost some weight!!!!! Dammit! I'm pretty when I'm fat and I will be pretty when I'm fit!!!

      I also hate this phrase! Ugh yes, I don't think they realise that it HURTS when they say that, even unintentionally.

      I'm also a Type 2 diabetic/insulin resistant. And welcome to MFP :)

      My dad once told my sister "your sister is pretty but if she lost all that fat she would have men all over her in a heartbeat" so yeah pretty face and great personality = "ur pretty but u could be better" -.- they think it was a compliment but they arnt the heavy ones

      Hate, hate, hate that phrase too!! Ugh. People just don't know what to say sometimes. I have surely been told that over a hundred times in my life time.. It is very rude. It may not be intended to be that way but it is.

      I still have about 70 pounds more to lose, but have heard that so much- even more when I have gotten thin because I think people feel it's "okay" to admit it then. Really makes you feel awesome when you start regaining! haha.

      Anyway, I know the feeling. You can totally reach your goals and know that you are beautiful thick or thin!

      Isn't it better than being told that you're miserable and ugly?
