worst comment ever made about your weight

I was in Mexico visiting and there are these fruit and vegetables wagons that are pulled by a horse..my ex mother in law said stop him when you see him pass I want some tomatoes...I thought it was cool to see one of those again after so many years..so I told her I would buy them for her..when I stopped the wagon the man said what can I get for you? Some papaya? I said no I dont like it, he said some mangos ..I said no thanks dont feel like eating mangos, he said how about some kiwis? I said nope dont like them either...he was talking so fast he didnt let me ask what I wanted...then he said if you dont like anything WHY ARE YOU SO FAT?

I thought that was pretty bad...I cussed him out and went inside..told my ex mother in law what just happened and she asked me Where were the tomatoes at???

Things were getting frisky with my slim partner, we were both really into it. He looks at me naked, stops what he is doing and says thoughtfully "maybe we should start dieting and exercising."

I always LOVED being asked if I was pregnant, when I was due, etc.

are you on drugs?

Boyfriends grandmother said I think koreans and Japenese are really pretty and skinny. I mean beautiful! after 3 minutes of her emphasizing how pretty and skinny they were) She says but your pretty. She probabley didnt mean anything but i guess being being fat im not korean. And im not a beautiful korean, i see....i cried in the car with my boyfriend there afterwards. when i told him. I felt so ugle and still do, that was yeasturday by the way

wtf your beautiful!

I had an ex who said, "Wow babe your stomach sticks out a lot when you're on your side." Note that I was about 145 lbs at 5'9", so not even technically "overweight". This same guy, when asked how a new necklace looked on me said, "It would look better if you had more cleavage." He was a horrible boyfriend in many ways. I left him for his roommate >:D

"You're too heavy for your height - I am saying this for the sake of your health,' my ex-boyfriend, when I looked like this:



Also..."the babiiiiessss," while patting my non-baby-full stomach.

My BMI was 23.8. I have never in my life even hit 'overweight'.

"No offense but i don't think my belt would fit you," said by the chick in the foreground of this pic (I am in the pink dress):



I replied, "They asked me to try the belt on to make sure it was not too small to fit you before they gave it to you." Yes, she reaaaallly thought she was that much thinner than me that we couldn't wear the same sized belt. it was a kids-sized belt.

"I'm glad your hair is longer now, you look less like a skinny boy," a different ex-boyfriend, who at least didn't pretend it was about my health. And, "I do miss tits." I know that's more about body type, but when i have a little more weight on me i have a little more up top.

"She's cute," a boy riding past me on his bike says to his friend, "but look at her a*ss!"

When I moved from the low end of a healthy BMI to the high end: "You look normal now. You used to be too skinny."

F* off, everyone! I have never been too skinny or too fat, yet even I get these comments?

My boyfriend said to me that my *kitten* was getting wider. He said this while I was getting dressed. Even though I've lost all the weight I needed to, I'm still uncomfortable with him seeing me naked.

I think it's time for a new boyfriend. That was nasty.

Why? You like people better when they lie to you?

There are a lot of mean comments people on this thread got about their weight, but also some comments were not that bad.

It just confirms that there is no "polite" or correct way to tell someone, not talking about strangers, but family and friends -- hell, even the person you are sleeping with! -- that if they want to stay/get in shape, now would be a good time to do so As a society we won't beat obesity by ignoring it. No matter how shocked that person is, it's a lot better than a blood pressure medication prescription or diabetes diagnosis...

...just quietly, "your *kitten* is getting wider" is not a POLITE way to comment on weight. if someone is genuinely concerned, they show genuine concern. not that difficult to figure out, really.

My sister's 21st birthday party. I was 18, was recovering from the knee injury which was the catalyst in my weight gain. I had gained maybe about a stone (14lbs) in 3 months as my knee was knackered and I couldn't walk, never mind train any more. I had been training 6 days a week up to that point.

Anyway, grandma walks in. 'My god Soozm, you've just weight on'. My only response was 'Well, yes I have' and ran off (as fast as I could with a gammy leg) in floods of tears and missed the entire party

I know its a simple comment, but at the time I was very down about the pain, the lack of training and my weight gain.

This was 10 years ago now and it still hurts. There again, same grandma declared my cousin an antisocial lesbian for taking a female friend to a family party when she was single. Maybe I got off lightly lol!

This doesn't apply to me....but for ladies that aren't prego and get asked how far along they are...that's gotta be a wet blanket for sure ;(

Oh wow!.....many many of them.Let's see...."If you lost 50 lbs. I'd go out with you" "What's bigger than a whale? Gayle!" but the worse was my ex-husband 40 years ago. He would say "You're fat ugly and I hate you..Why don't you go back home and live with your mother. You should pay me room and board that I let you stay here with me"

Ok, so many, I actually repeat these to my friends to make them laugh and try and take the sting out though:

Gran: (in a devon accent) - "ooh, you do look like your Auntie Bessie, your Auntie Bessie was a big girl"; "You're so fat (I was a UK size 10 at the time)" and "I never said you were fat, I said you were well covered"

My mum, when I was 15 in response to me being upset about some boy "Don't worry Bxxxx, when you get older boys go less for looks and more for personality" - I know she meant it well, but ouch!

When I was out once with a friend, and a guy (who was trying to pull her, and did even after this!!!) called me fat, and then tried to make it better by saying 'I like fat girls, there's more cushion for the pushin'" ewwww!

Been called a wrestler, constantly asked if I lift weights, am a swimmer etc. Was called 'Humber' at school (by my friends), after the wide humber bridge.

Been imitated by people, including a customs agent once, again, pretending to have broad shoulders (can you tell I am slight paranoid about them!)

Been told there are no clothes in my size in shops (I'm a UK 16 / US 12)

And, anywhere you travel in the developing world (I currently live in Delhi, India), people use the word fat constantly, because you ARE compared to them. This doesn't help.

Ah well, onwards and upwards. At least we can change our size, some people can't change their sh*tty personality!

Stay strong. xx

The worst comments that were ever made about my weight were made by me when looking in the mirror!!! But not anymore.
I think I'm the bomb and if someone else measures my worth based on my size, well shame on them!!!

out in a club with my friends when a group of guys stood next to us said 'do you think they were lifted in by a crane?'

From my darling 5 year old daughter at dinner one night (in a restaurant no less). She told me that I have blubber. In her defense, they had been learning about the animals of the arctic and how they survive and that they need the blubber to keep them warm. At the time she said this I had already been into my weight loss regime for a week or two, so I didn't take it harshly.
