worst comment ever made about your weight

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!

I was a size 5! 5!!! My boyfriend at the time (dumped his *kitten*) told me that my hips were widder then all the other girls that he sees and if my butt was shorter that it would look better. What does that even mean?

At my first job about 2 weeks in my boss and I had a little chat about how things were going well and we talked about how I was wearing clothes he deemed appropriate blah blah blah good chat. Literally a week later I was wearing something similar as the week before but in a light coral color and he called me into his office for another "chat". He then asked if I could wear looser blouses in order to cover my overweight belly because it looked sloppy. Then commented that he heard I was going to the gym and it was good that I was working on my problem. This was close to the end of the day and I cried my entire drive home. I am happy to say I no longer work there.

The one that still tortures me is my boyfriend's aunt loves to comment on how my boyfriend's brother's girlfriend (I know confusing) is tall blond gorgeous should be a model at every event even when she is not present. At 4th of July a couple years ago she was telling someone yet again how gorgeous ****** is and I am standing right there in the conversation. She turns to me and says "Not that you're not sweet too...." Sure knows how to make a girl feel like a troll. When my boyfriend started nursing school she also commented that he would get to meet lots of new women! while I was sitting right next to him.... classy lady.

I was never overweight I've just gained around 10 pounds the past few years. I actually had really mean things said to me for being too skinny when I was younger. I was usually between 120-130 at 5'7. The comments were normally from older women. I remember a few years ago I was shopping and this lady that worked there looked me up and down and said "Wow, you must be like a size 0 so skinny!." And it was in a very judegmental tone. I said, "No, actually I'm a size 7." I walked away to make sure she could see that I had a butt and hips! lol Now I've had a few comments about you work out too much or what are you on a diet or something? People can't grasp just wanting to be healthy. I hate being called "skinny" it's really annoying. People only get skinny or fat a lot don't know the in between.

yeah i think that is abuse and i know from personal experience it hurts more and stays w you much longer than a punch in the face. i believe your family shapes your self-worth and teasing, name calling, plain out ignorant ugliness will not be allowed in my house, among my children. my dad is an alcoholic so he would definitely call me fat when he was drunk, my older sister would tease me, other family members. and then after hearing it from my family i would get the teasing 2x as hard in grade/middle school. i'm 26 and i'm still trying to tell myself i am worthy

People are horrible!

Mine happened when I was just a little kid, but I'll never forget it. My dad's friend has this total *kitten* of a wife who would make nasty comments about me being fat and sometimes I would hear them. Even as an adult now, I have not forgotten how awful that made me feel to be a kid essentially being made fun of by an adult....but I showed her

I took the constant humiliation all through my childhood (mostly from my family), then one day I was hitting puberty and I realized that if you punch the tormentors at school right in the mouth, they tend to stop.

It seems they don't enjoy that very much.

Made me into a very angry young woman.

Thankfully, I am over it now.

The things your parents say when you are fat hurt the most.

Size 6 and plump? Pah-leeze!?

I've read some of the comments here and have a good one. I was in an airport and had just gone through security. I was leaning up against one of the counters pulling my shoes back on. One of the airport staff came over and asked me if I was the woman who needed a wheelchair. I said no and he walked away. I heard him comment to another staff person that he had been told that there was someone who was too heavy to walk and needed a wheelchair. I thought, and you picked me?? Here I was leaning against the counter to put my shoes on. Shouldn't that tell you that I have the strength to get my own fat rear end to the gate? At this time, I weighed about 200 pounds and was a size 18.

I have a totally flat butt, and am curvy in my hips, and as a result, I always had to buy jeans that fit me in my hips, but usually were very loose in the back. I had a girl, who I thought was my friend, say to my face "So and so were talking about taking you shopping and teaching you how to buy jeans. It looks like you s**t your pants because they are so saggy in the back." It is still one of the meanest things someone has ever said to me. I was a size 12, and it caused me to look at myself differently. I became determined to show this girl that I could fit into jeans on my own, and it helped me gain the motivation to change my lifestyle. I developed better eating habits, and exercised. I have lost 30 pounds over two years ago, maintained my weight loss and dropped down to size 6. Sometimes comments can sting, but for me, it was the best thing that could have happened to me. I'm so much happier and healthier now.
