    "You have such a pretty face."

    I agree that is hurtful;

    Well this thread depressed the hell out of me, and brought back some painful memories.

    I think the meanest comments came from those closest to me. When my niece started college my sisters both helped her move in. Oldest sis (OS) was telling me how it went. She was telling me about niece's roommate. She kept going on and on about how fat roommmate was (as if it were pertinent) and she just couldn't stop until I had a full understanding of the enormousness of this poor girl. She then says "how can I say this, but no offense she was your size" WTF? It was labor day and I was supposed to go hang out at her pool. Um, not putting on my suit in front of your judgemental *kitten*. Mind you OS has been pretty heavy herself, she at one point would only buy elastic waist pants so she wouldn't know her real size.

    After a long time I finally got past this and I was going into the city with her one day because she asked me to go. I took the day off from work to accompany her. She pulls up and had stopped at dunkin donuts but only got herself a coffee...again WTF. So I asked her to stop so I could get a coffee. She for some reason would not stop until we had gone past at least 5 more Dunkins. So when she finally stopped she was telling me about some of her marital problems and I gave her some advice. She says "you know, if husband could get past your looks, I could see him falling for you." (Get past my looks??). She makes all these hurtful comments and little does she know that her husband has actually told me he wished he married me. I would never tell her because I wouldn't want to hurt her, I just make it a point never to be around her husband.

    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.

    HA! Good one!

    I would say it would be my sister telling me I'm "fat but it looks good on me."

    OH WOW! I don't believe I have been insulted like that even at my highest weight. I am so sorry that you had to hear that. People who say and do things like that are themselves suffering from low self-esteem and the only way they can feel better about themselves is to try and put someone else down. Know who you are and stay strong.

    A relative told me when I was around 12 or 13, "Men don't want to marry fat girls". It still bugs me.

    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 would have told her and my money is in here, where it's staying. Get me your manager.

    Wow, that's terrible. It deserves a complaint letter. How incredibly rude and stupid from a customer service point of view.

    OMG I wish I could think of things like that when people say something rude!!! I always come up with the perfect line 3 hours later!

    Probably when my mom told me I looked pregnant. Which wasn't very nice, but my mom can be brusque, and I felt like maybe she was right. I'm still struggling to go down in weight, but so far have lost 15 pounds so I lost a couple inches off my waist. (My mom says I don't look pregnant any more.)

    Now the comments I am getting are -

    'Eat something'
    'See you later. Enjoy your starvation diet'
    'Nice collarbones'
    'Hey fatty' - from a friend clearly mocking my weight loss.

    I just can't win!

    This is why we do it for ourselves and NOT for others because no matter what you do people will always have something negative to say. So don't allow others to speak in your life. Keep your focus on your goals and the god Lord above.

    I know I'm a fat f#$%er. I'm comfortable with that as a state of being. Pretty hard to insult me about being fat. I just don't care. I'm not losing weight so other people will think I am better looking, I'm losing weight so I can be a better me.

    at the Y. me and my girlfriend.
    it was summer break so they had a large group of kids there swimming.
    we walked thru, in our swimsuits towards the pool, and this little girl said,"make room for the fatties!"
    lol, it was hilarious then, eye opening, but hilarious.

    My father, who only saw me.. I dunno.. once every six months while he was alive, would go into these TIRADES about how "Are you sure your husband is ok with the weight you've gained" "You know this is the kind of thing that makes men stray" "Gaining weight after you get married is never a good idea" "He may not tell you, but he thinks it".

    And yeah, he would ALSO ask my husband how he felt about it. "You can probably get her to lose some weight if you tell her about it".

    Nevermind that he was RATHER LARGE himself. No matter how many times I tried to explain that my husband even preferred thicker women and that I was VERY active, he still insisted that I was being too fat.

    I'll admit I'm fat now, but I sure wasn't -fat- then. I had some jiggle, but the right stuff. ;)

    A five year old girl recently told me......'your tummy is big'. Awesome...............

    Kids are the worst. I'm literally terrified of them in public because of the things they will say. I know the parents can't help it and I usually don't say anything to the ones that just look really embarassed or I let them know it's okay. But when the parents laugh....

    Over Christmas, some little boy, probably 8 or 9, turns around in the line at Wal-Mart and says: "God, you're the fattest person I've ever seen." My response: "Well Santa is a fat person, and we fat people stick together. Since you're such a rude little boy, I'll call and tell him not to stop by your house."

    That is absolutely ridiculous. That person doesn't know you or your life! For all they knew you could have been shopping for a gift for someone else. Not to mention that it was just plain RUDE. I hope you complained because that person does not deserve to have a job there!

    My mother: "If you don't lose some weight and start wearing makeup your boyfriend is going to leave you."

    Oh and "We should handcuff you to a treadmill until you lose 40 lbs." That was awesome... i didn't know the person, but it still hurt.

    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!!

    Is he still your husband? Or have you ditched him with the weight?

    It was a comment/action combo. I was sitting in the communal kitchen of the dorm I lived in in college and the girlfriend of one of our guy dormmates was watching me eat Triscuits. She looked at me and said something like "Don't you think you should slow down?" She then proceeded to grab one of my belly "rolls" and squish it. In front of probably 95% of the dorm.

    People didn't even say anything, they just left the room quickly. Especially the guys, lol.

    Luckily though, most of us agreed she was one of the most butt ugly chicks we had ever seen. Thin or not. Seriously.

    When I was obese in my early teens I'd constantly be labeled by my peers. The worst lable was "a walking piece of meat". It is funny that now after many years I'm reaching my perfect form while some of them are suffering the obesity at my current age. I'm not content of that since I won't wish anyone go through that, but it should always serve as a lesson learned.

    At the end of 2011 I saw an Aunt whom I hadn't sen since my Mum's funeral early 2009. At the time of the funeral I had the 'perfect' BMI, didn't have a flt stomach but I looked slim, wasn't healthy though. (Recovered from an ED)

    Anyway, after my Mum died I developed another ED, only this one caused me to gain weight.

    When I saw my Aunt she said "What happened to you? You used to look so fantastic and skinny, now you look huge. Yea thanks. This coming from the woman who was going in to get a Gastric band fitted two weeks later.

    I am still trying to get over the ED but finding it very hard.

    My MIL keeps saying to me "You'll never be skinny again, you'll always be fat and lazy." So going to prove that ***** wrong. She is in the morbidly obese category, eats crap all day because she can't be arsed to get up and cook and has gym membership to the same place I do. But, where I go five days a week, she goes five a days a year.

    I'm just thankful I have a loving and supportive husband.

    Wow....Hope you tell that husband of yours to tell his mommy to shut TFU! My husband would never tolerate ANYONE talking to me like that, especially a family member. So sorry for all your hardships.....a prayer and a :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: for you.

    I'm lucky that I have an expression that seems to scare most people away :)

    I've been called gross,repulsive and a fat blob by people who thought they were out of earshot... nice.

    I was seeing someone who mentioned I was bigger than him, which has been the result of my weight loss. I thank him.

    I was dressed as a witch for Halloween and my EX-Husband started laughing and said.."You look like Elvira after 400 bad donuts"...... I was dressed for a party at work and had to go that way because I didn't have time to change again. It ruined my whole day.
