    how rude! I have always said to myself that the people that make comments like that are the ones that are really hurting on the inside! What really gets me sometimes though is when I'm all dressed up and out on the town thinking I look fantastic and some jerk has to yell fat a** out the window. I know we shouldn't let words hurt us but sometimes its just too hard to ignore. Just keep your head up and a huge smile on your face!

    You guys need to stay away from those people!! Thats just aweful!! Believe me those are the people that have No real quality of life because they are just that shallow!!! - they can't possibly appreciate any kind of real relationship and thus are missing out on best things in life!

    You just do your best to feel better about yourself and don't EVEN listen to idiots like that!! I know its hard though!

    I have never been Really overweight but both my parents have been. My dad had the stomach staple surgery so he's much better - mom is pretty heavy but they are both wonderful people that I'm proud to call my parents regardless of their looks....I'd just like to see mom get healthier! Anyway - it has fueled me to try and keep my weight under control....though lately its a little out of control!

    But once when I was like a size 8 (I WISH!) I ran into someone I used to work with when I was about a size 4 (AGAIN, I WISH!) and he made sure to make a comment about me gaining weight...REALLY??? Are some people raised with NO TACT!!! I never forgot it....But, to hell with him! I'm gonna try and believe I'm beautiful from the inside out! The outside just needs a little work ;-)

    pssss....I'd just love to see a size 10 again ;-) though an 8 would Rock!!

    Good Luck in your journey to become a healthier person! But try and ignore the horrible, unsupportive people on your way! They don't deserve the time of day from you!!!

    Every Christmas when we go to my inlaws my husband's brother invites this older couple and one year she said to me "if you'd eat some vegetables you'd lose some weight." That was it! I started my diet right after that! She still questions me every time I see her about what I am doing to lose weight! She's is such a bag!

    I was standing at a bus stop one day, a young guy walked passed me and said "frigging hippo !"

    See, that's when you follow at a safe distance shrieking, "The paternity test says it's yours! Stop walking away from me! And when are you going to pay the hospital bill from breaking my jaw?"

    He will never say anything rude to anyone in public again.

    When I was little I was called a dinosaur because I was constantly running around in just a sports bra or whatever and I would hunch over and my spine would really show and you can see the bumps. Even now you can still see them but less of course.

    Well, my mum has been telling me my whole life that I need to lose weight (including when I was 100lb in high school) :/
    Now that I have lost quite a bit and starting to look good she goes on about how I can't eat certain foods... e.g. eggs and cheese. (hellooo protein!)
    When she sits there eating maccas!

    I was shopping at Target one day. I was standing, going through some clothes on a rack. One of the sales people came over and said, "The Plus size clothes are over there," and pointed to a different section. I smiled and said, "Thank you," but I was mortified inside.

    I dated a guy in college who said that I would never be attractive because I was heavy. He was the kind of guy that wouldn't claim me as his GF in public, but only in private. He tried to say he was he best I was ever going to get... (that didn't last long) and 4 years later, I'm 53lbs lighter and I have a man who loves me NO MATTER my size and is proud to hold my hand (and my waistline)!

    It's a toss up, both family members actually.

    Ten days after having my 2nd son we drove 7 hours to surprise my Granny on her 80th birthday. As soon as my mom saw me she gave me a big hug, held me at arm's length and said "Wow, you sure packed on the pounds didn't you?!"

    and

    One day I was changing clothes and my husband walked in. His words: "Damn baby, you used to look good, what happened?"
    I gave birth to 4 of your children, that's what!!

    It's kind of nice to know there are people in this world who have even less tact and common sense than I do. I doubt she lasts very long on that job.

    When are you due? NOT Pregnant
    Are you sure you should be eating all that? (My Mom) followed by, Did you get enough honey? I don't want you to go away still hungry."
    No, you're not pretty-you're BIG.

    My Fav: You're not THAT fat! Like, as opposed to what? A Hippo? Er, Thanks (?) for the complement(?)

    YES!! I tend to think of these things hours later when it's too late.

    Brothers and other kids at school called me "fatass" during my entire childhood, and I wasn't that big at the time. :frown:

    The worst I've had was an ex-crush tell me that he would hang out with me only if I lost some weight. :noway: Needless to say I never tried contacting him again, though I recently found out his new girlfriend is bigger than me. :laugh:

    Yup. Got that one a few times. I used to try to be tactful about it, last time I said, "I'm not pregnant, just fat. Thanks for noticing." My sister replied with, "It's not a baby, it's a tumor." I'm not that ballsy...lol

    my dad was always on my case growing up, as was my brother. But it was a family friend tht made a comment that just stuck. She was leaning on me and said I was so comfortable because of how soft and squishy I was .....never was a good friend, but I will never forget that

    I also get one every time I shop for clothes. I'm so sick that every time I choose something the ladies ask "did it fit?" instead of "did you like it?"

    My sister who has always been much heavier then me, told me one day after I had my second kid. She said" I always thought I would be happy when you finally got fat, but now that you are I don't feel as good as I thought I would about it". All I could do was laugh and say "gee thanks!"

    Yeah, my hubbie was the one who said "you're not pretty, you're big." As I stand in amazement looking at HIS pregger's belly, ripe to give up twin's at any moment.

    My mother-in-law once "banned" me from the garden swing saying I was too fat and I'd break it by sitting on it.


    Charming eh.

    An elderly lady that lives across the street from my inlaws asked them when I was due again. But the worst part is that my father in law TOLD ME she had said this. He didn't have to tell me that :( I know she's a nasty old lady, but I thought it would have been nicer for him to not even mention it to me.
