worst comment ever made about your weight

As a bit of background... I am 5'5. I was a normal sized (though never skinny and knobby kneed) child, got chubby (ok, fat -- size 16) in pre-puberty. Then I dieted down to a healthier size (8s were loose) (on a very unhealthy diet), eventually got pretty disordered with it. Then I gained some back (size 10). College came, bad break-up ... skinny again (I worked in the college fitness center), but basically didn't eat and ran on a treadmill like a hamster on a wheel.
Adulthood/happiness/grad school/ nearing 30... size 14, sometimes 16.

So, I have been fat, chubby and relatively skinny multiple times in my life.

I will NEVER forget shopping for school clothes (in the 'pretty plus' section), about middle school age. A woman and her daughter were shopping too. The daughter picked up a shirt and her mothers said, " Oh, no, honey, that's pretty plus." She basically said it like "that's a rotting corpse."

Same day, I try on the clothes I take home. My dad says, "Wouldn't it be better if those stripes were vertical?" (In his defense, I don't think he knew I would know what that meant -- little did he know, Big Bopper Magazine covers horizontal and vertical stripes). My Dad has always told me I was beautiful, and was very concerned when I was not eating enough.

As my mother and I embarked on a diet "You would be perfect if you lost 10 lbs." Perfect is a very dangerous word to a people pleaser.

In college... an ex-boyfriend would so "You are SO attractive right now," (sarcastically) right as I bit into food (mind you, I was at a healthy BMI).

Countless iterations of "You would be hot/beautiful/pretty IF... "

The night of my bachelorette party, a drunk guy made a comment about my fiance "likeing them with some meat on their bones." I was a size 12 at the time.

There are others. Having only barely come over the "obese" line and BRIEFLY, at age 14 and when I started MFP, that I experienced this so often. Many of the comments occurred when I was very near or at a healthy BMI.

At this point I hope to be a size 10 when I hit my goal weight (in jeans, I'm wide-hipped... so a S/M top). I am interested to see how I feel about MYSELF as an adult at this size.

As a size 8 (and very fit -- I worked out ALL THE TIME), I thought I was horribly fat, both as a young teenager and in college. I have never worn a bikini, even though in retrospect, I COULD have at times.

I am more confident in my appearance as a size 14 at the age of 29 than I was at 15 or 23 and a size 8 or 10.

If (when!) I get thin, I may be obnoxiously self confident... I sort of hope so. It would be nice to actually feel beautiful instead of faking that feeling.

This comment did not phase me but I think it is the WORST comment ever because of his ignorance.

3 months post partum & my friend's boyfriend told me that I USED to look GOOD. He further added this question, "Is that what happens when you become a mom, you get bulges all over your stomach when you sit?" then looked at my friend & said, "babe don't get pregnant!"

WOW.

He sounded worse than an idiot that his idiocy got me all tongue tied. Lol.

When I was 5 years old, about to hop in the tub for my night time bath, my mom pointed at my thighs and told me that they shouldn't be touching.

When I was a teenager, weighing around 175lbs (I'm 5'7''), I went shopping for jeans with her, and when I told her my size (15-16) while browsing the racks, she asked ''What? Jeans actually come in that size?''

I am still scarred by those remarks today.

FAT @SS..... enough said

...Sorry went to delete post and can't -_-

Last year a few months after I hadmy daughter an older lady at a Super Bowl party told me, "That baby sure did put some weight on you!". Another one chimed in, Yeah I guess you won't be able to wear all those pretty dresses!". I don't care what anyone says, I think old people think they can get away with anything. I wanted to tell both of them, "Time sure did put some wrinkles on y'all's faces!"

When I was about ten years old I was walking with my bike up a hill and some kids made a comment "maybe you should be riding the bike".

A guy I'm friends with just recently told me I have the body of a fertility goddess. I'm still not certain, but I think it was a back-handed compliment. It made me feel like crap =/

Lol I get told that sort of thing so much I've actually come to love it a little hahaha :blushing:
I mean whatever, its scientifically proven that guys are attracted to bodies like ours! And from my experience if you mix that body with some confidence, guys totally dig it!

After having lost 45 lbs and working damn hard to do so, someone told me "You're getting so skinny I just want to vomit all over you." Umm... thank you?

A gentleman that I was involved with some how saw a picture of me at my heaviest. Jokingly he made the comment "you had your own zip code". He thought he was being funny but it truly hurt coming from a person that I thought was a friend and I thought cared.
