    After repeatedly cheating on me and then making an agreement to only sleep with me if I put on porn of skinny blonde chicks or held a porn magazine while we were having sex, my ex said, "If you weren't so fat and disgusting, I wouldn't want to sleep with other women. If you looked like this {he ripped out and threw a Playboy centerfold at me}, I'd never stick my d**k anywhere else. But YOU DON'T... count yourself lucky that you get any at all Lard *kitten*!"

    this made me cry

    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.

    Well, I actually broke the swing. Not joking. I was mortified. o_0

    People who make comments like that, well... what they are really announcing to the world is

    "I am ugly on the inside."

    It doesn't matter what words they use. The real message is clear, and it is about them.


    And just an addendum -- I think everyone can remember a hurtful comment. But I hope that we all gain the strength to let it go. Don't let others define you, limit you or hold you back. Don't carry the pain forward, don't give their words the power to perpetually hurt you. I hope we all can replace those negative messages with our own inner voices of strength, determination and self-love. Because there will always be someone, somewhere ready to tear you down. What is important is that you realize "You are strong baby!"

    Thank you for that.

    I was in an airplane, I did manage to fit the seat belt. But the air hostess decided to yell out in front of everyone and insist I take a seat belt extension... Longest ride of my life lol

    Had that same thing happen to me, though I guess to their credit they were already mad at me because I had run up to the gate when they were trying to close it and prepare to take off and then had to squeeze down the small aisle to my seat. (it was a connecting flight but the plane I'd gotten off of let us out on the runway and I had to run past 70 gates with a still healing knee with only 5 minutes before it would've been too late) I could barely get the seatbelt around me and had no clue they had extensions since it was my first time flying. The steward then whipped out the extension, gave me this nasty look, and said, "you have to use this if you can't get that around your stomach, ma'am." I was mortified.

    ' you are pretty...but you would look so much better if you could lose some weight '
    - some random guy sow me running - ' run you fattie,lose that weight '
    me talking with a friend about why guys are almost never hitting on me - ' well they are just interested in looks '
    -some random guy on the street - 'omg you are so ugly'
    -some guy talking about me - ' well she is really nice but she is so unattractive '
    -one really rude guy - ' i knew you..you were pretty before...you got so fat...have you looked in the mirror lately... you're a fat cow now '
    oh and lots of insults when i was in primary school

    So awful. What foul people. I'm sorry for the pain these people caused you. You are adorable. That is my fear the exercising insult. But thankfully it hasn't happened and like you, it wouldn't stop me. People have such hate and venom in them, for what?

    Even on these boards people judge, belittle and criticize each other. I have been pretty fortunate to only be accused of being pregnant and in elementary school, which set the stage for me not begin good enough, the most popular boy in school called me a bear. Funny how we all remember with such detail these horror stories and so many of them. I wonder how many of these people would behave differently knowing the harm.

    I have found such awesome support and solidarity here among my friends at MFP, and it makes all of the difference. It's all up hill from here doll! It's work, but it feels really good to be working towards making MYSELF healthy and caring for Me first.

    I just... wow. Honey I am so sorry that jerk treated you that way. I'm actually mad for you, I don't even know you and I'd love to find him and teach him a lesson that would leave him unable to father any children much less raise his light switch. You are so much better than he will ever hope to be, I hope you know that. No one deserves that no matter what they look like.

    Sending a hug your way.

    I almost forgot about this one... It was posted on my Myspace "Truth Box" years ago. If anyone doesn't know the Myspace Truth Box is like a anonymous comment box to say anything you wish without the person knowing who said it. Needless to say, I have no idea who said it. I literally read it everyday for a month and often cried...

    Well, here it is.

    I bet when your having sex and your boyfriend slaps your *kitten* it ripples like when you slap a horses *kitten*.

    Now, growing up working with horses I know exactly what happens.... it ripples and jiggles.

    It haunted me. :(

    I must be one of few who receives looks rather than a verbal insult. I go places and people look at me like I have a third eye or something. From men, they stare way longer than they should and women give the "body check". Of course, it could be because I'm also 5'10".

    Last time I did receive a verbal insult, I was about... 14? I was out with a cousin of mine who never weighs more than 105 lbs. and I was chubby at the time. There were two guys sizing us up and we could hear the whole conversation. Long story short, they said that I was "way too big. Maybe lose 50 lbs. and I'd consider."

    Funny thing about it is, both of them were not even remotely attractive to me.

    Truth be told, I have heard it ALL over the years and have super thick skin. There's nothing anyone can say about my appearance that will upset me, not even from people I care about.

    that i should try to gain, when in reality im not even that thin. if i even mention the word exercise i get threatened to be thrown into a psychiatric ward. you'd think i would take it as a compliment, but its an impediment to my goals. its not always about being thin. its about being healthy.

    There have been many rude comments but the one that always stands out as the most humiliating..The odd thing is that when this happened I wasn't even close to my heaviest weight....My mother and I were out for a walk one evening when this young guy yells from across the street...."Holy **** its a beached whale! Someone get a gun and put that Orca out of IT's(like I wasn't even a person) misery!"

    I've had things yelled at me from cars, said to me in passing, "helpful" things said by friends and family.

    I was trying to remember something specific, and I realized that I can't recall the last time that this happened to me. I've been working hard on improving my self-esteem and confidence in myself, and I wonder if that's a factor? If people, even strangers, sense something different about me and don't say/do anything? Or if I just no longer notice or am bothered by it, so I don't remember, because I know that what mean people think doesn't matter to me? Hmmm.

    This is probably not much good news but they do a psychiatric evaluation on you before you're admitted or to prevent from admitting someone who really doesn't need that kind of help. I learned that a couple years ago when after two psychiatrists threatened to throw me in one, I figured I'd go admit myself instead but they said there was nothing wrong with me that couldn't be fixed by having a competent psychiatrist. The only time that's skipped is if you're brought into the ER and they determine there you need to go.

    I'm sorry the people saying that don't understand the difference between what you're trying to do and what they perceive it to be, you deserve a lot more support since that's a hard thing to go through.

    "Why not just kill yourself, you fat ugly troll."

    That is so cruel! I am sorry..
    I can't stand people like that.. The last time some was rude to me in an exercise class bc I accidentally steppe on her mat and apologized she told her partner she didn't even know why I was there.. I told her fat girls don't need to be reminded that we're fat. Be happy I didn't pee on your mat as fat girls aren't quite house trained you know.. She never said another word.. I would like to point out she couldn't keep up with the class. ~smirk~

    Its funny you asked this question. I am at my mom's house for Easter dinner. I was sitting across from my grandma and she looks up and says, "Angie, you've gotten fatter since I saw you last." I said, "nana, that wasn't very nice." and she said, "well, its the truth." Oh, I'm feeing the love!! I just feel like going home.

    SO many...had just about every insult possible on my weight but I remember when I was in school, probably about 14 a boy asked me if I'd eaten another person because I was so fat and the whole class laughed. Mortifying.

    Haha, gotta love when family members make remarks like that. I have a grandmother who does the same thing, except her insults are universal. It could be about weight, how you're wearing your hair, your outfit, anything.

    A taxi driver asked if I was pregnant once. And my mum always gives me clothes saying they're too big for her but they'd fit me!
