worst comment ever made about your weight

I was training for a century bike ride in support of breast cancer research funding last year. When I started training I weighed 186 lbs but I was determined to put on the right gear for comfortable riding, i.e. spandex. I was out on the highway and as I passed a farm I heard "moooooo". I turned to find three teenagers standing in the lane, laughing it up. I cried the rest of the seven miles home. I think about them now, nearly 25 lbs lighter and 20+ inches smaller and wonder if they'd still do the same thing if I rode by again.

I was told by someone my SR. year that I would be good looking if I lost some weight. I weighed a whopping 130 and was 5'4. People have always been so kind as to point out my thunder thighs! Now at 40, I weigh 140 a customer has told me on more than one occasion to watch the desserts, but don't eat them. Which is pretty funny actually because I am not a big dessert eater.

When I said to my husband that I didn't want my breast to get any bigger, he didn't miss a beat and said well you are going to have to get out play basketball and sweat. He thought he was being helpful.

I have had lots of hurtful comments over the years but last August I was at a football match with my boyfriend and after the game walking back to the tube a group of guys walked past and one shouted 'Look at the size of the *kitten* on her!!' and proceeded to slap my bum and walk off laughing. PRICK.

Also had lots of 'Well you're obviously a big girl but you're tall so you carry it well'....wow thanks.

I'm new to MFP by the way so any friend requests would be welcomed

Like many other women, I think the worst comment made has been asking about a non-existent pregnancy. However, this comment was made to me by another woman. I had recently had a miscarriage (very early in the pregnancy) and she asked me if I was sure I had a miscarriage because I still looked pregnant. Made my day!

my ex used to always call me names. once i stood infront of tv and he burst out laughing. i was like what you laughing at..he said my stomach looked like a football. he used to call me "hev" , meaning heather from eastenders, he used to grab my fat and squeeze it and move it going "FAT!!" he said because i had big boobs no clothes look nice on me , just tacky and slutty. if i put a nice dress on hed say i looked like a fat prostitute etc

hed tell me how amazing other girls looked , and compare me to othe girls, like if you exercise you could get stomach like her etc. he would insult me but compliment other girls

he actually cheated on me with a girl bigger than me with no tits and flabby body. i feel sorry for his new girlfriend. i hope she bullys him and doesnt take **** like i do

I have to add that being told you're "so skinny it makes me sick" is the worst thing anyone has ever said to me. It makes me so mad because I work hard at managing my weight and it doesn't come easy. Just because someone is skinny or thin does not mean it's a compliment to insult them on their weight. Some of us worry about it just as much.
"God girl, how much do you weigh?" is none of your business
"You look like you need to eat something" is an insult.
If everyone could just remember "if you don't have anything nice to say...don't say anything at all"

My grandpa sat me on his lap when I was about 13 years old and explained to me that if I didn't lose any weight I'd never find someone who would want to marry me.

Oh. My. God. What is it with all these grandparents that are so damned mean? I'm sorry =(

I think the most problematic thing about this is the age - who tells a child they're too fat? Just send them to play tennis or something lol

I know there are a lot worse stories than mine. However my story was when i was 19 i moved into a house with my boyfriend and we were "engaged" and i got hurt in an accident and i started gaining weight. He was 21 at the time and would go to the bars every weekend and it became more and more i noticed. Well i was finally able to go back to work after 4 months and i worked nights. I noticed our relationship started to change when non of my clothes fit anymore and had to go get new larger ones. One night he and i got into a fight and he and his friends went to the bar. I stayed home and cleaned and went to bed. At about 3 am i heard a loud noise in the kitchen and got up he brought his drunk friends home they were cooking mac and cheese. So i asked where he was and they said he is sleeping in the spare room so i went to go to bed and heard a girl. I walked in the spare room to find him with 2 other girls and he said "what you cant expect me to want to marry you anymore or have sex with you, your huge now" and the girls laughed and i walked out. The next morning i left him and never went back however my weight and self esteem just got worse after that...

All 36 pages of this topic were like a trainwreck and carwreck and an episode of the Real Housewives wrapped in one ... It was painful and sad but you couldn't look away. I guess at this point I'm just very lucky and thankful that I never actually heard the **** people were talking behind my back and people were always too "kind" or "respectful" to say it to my face.

You guys are rockstars -- I don't care if you've lost 1 lb or 199lbs ... you're doing it. You're not sitting on the bench eating McDonalds; you're actually making an effort and for that we all deserve so much better than the swill that people have spit at us, well-meaning or not.

If everyone could just remember "if you don't have anything nice to say...don't say anything at all"

Why must people share their negativity with others? You wanna hate? Keep it to yourself.

I think you all are BEAUTIFUL!
