    When I was about 8 years old I used to love going to the public pool to swim. One day while i was standing on the diving board a bunch of kids started yelling, 'hey look, Flabio.'

    To this day I wear a tshirt when I swim.

    In choir in school once "why does that fat b*tch get all the solos?" (snarky girl who was talking about me to another girl, but knew I could hear her).

    In a triumph for the shy girl (my first real "diva" moment) I looked right at her and said "as long as you want them so badly, this fat b*tch will audition for all of them." then I smiled and walked away. She never did get a solo. . . and she's still mean. I'm not fat anymore. So there.:wink:

    When I was 21 I had a boyfriend tell me I could look like a Playboy model if I'd take up running. My response "Well, what's going to help you?" We didn't date after that, now YEARS later I look fabulous and, well he, uh not so much:laugh:

    I was taking care of some banking and the teller asked to see identification. When she looked at my ID she looked up at me and said "Wow, you got fat since this picture was taken". I had no words.

    This is a great thread. This is like free therapy.

    I have a few things that have said to me.

    When I was about 8, my grand-father used to say that he loved fat girls and that's why he loved me so much. I was maybe 10lbs more than the average child so that was pretty damaging. I know he didn't do intentionally to hurt me but I'm 36 now and I remember it like it was yesterday.

    I had a "best" friend when I was about 13 and she used to make comments about my weight all the time. Again I was only about 10lbs or so heavier than her. She used to make jokes about me being too heavy to go swimming and how fat I was. The funny thing is she used to say it when she thought I wasn't listening but obviously I heard.

    The popular one, you have such a pretty face.

    I was told once that I should really take up running and make use of my big thighs!!!

    My friend and I were walking one day outside and a bunch of guys started yelling that they love big butts. I was really offended cuz I really didn't think my butt was big at the time.

    I'm sure there is a ton more but I stick with this for now. lol

    My cousin's wife is the jealous type, she does not want you to succeed at something she can't. Anyway after having my first baby (13 yrs ago) I had gained 60 lbs, and had just taken off about 10 of that. I was talking to her on the phone one night and she says to me " wow Brad (my cousin) can't believe how much weight you've gained, are you ever big now" Well she weighed probably 100lbs before she got pregnant with her baby, and by the time she was done she weighed 250 lbs. So because she was mad at herself, she thought she'd make me feel just as bad as she did. If it had of been any one else saying this it would have killed me, but things she says to me sting for a minute, then I remember the type of hateful hurtful person she is!!

    Oh, gosh...Someone would have had to hold me back from kicking her butt!

    It's horrible what people say!!!

    This didn't happen to me, but it happened to my mom. When my mom was first losing weight (she started at about 300 lbs.) she would walk around the neighborhood. She was out one night walking and came home with egg all over her, crying. Some boys in a car had thrown eggs at her and yelled that she was a fat a** b*tch, etc. Grrrrr...

    *Edit* By the way, now she runs marathons and weighs about 140 lbs. She sure showed them!!!!!

    When I was a teenager I was talking to boyfriend about why I didn't want to be a model (I was also about 30 lbs lighter and a perfect weight for my age) - he started asking questions like:
    You don't want to be a model because, "your hips are too big?" "your breasts are too small?" "you're too short?" - um, no, I don't want to be a model because I don't believe in selling my body. (side note, if you are a model, nothing against you, it's my body that I see that).

    Nothing really hurtful though.

    A boyfriend from college said he would dump me if I gained 5 more pounds.

    Friends asking to borrow my clothes in their 4-5 months of pregnancy because theirs are just too tight but don't want to buy maternity yet. Seriously, I'm a normal heathly weight.

    I've only had one person say anything about my weight to me, and that was the last guy I was dating... he looked at me and said... yanno Carol if you would lose about 30 lbs you wouldn't look that bad.

    My response was something along the lines referring to his manhood equipment and I walked away and never saw him again.

    The MOST hurtful thing ever was when someone close to me told me I would never be as pretty or talented as my sister, but that was no reason to give up. I was 13 or 14 and devastated...

    To this day I catch myself wanting to be my sister.

    I have also been asked my due date, by more then one person. Also, I had some furniture delivered and the delivery guy saw my wedding portrait on the wall. He looked me up and down and laughed, saying "That doesn't look like you". Jerk.

    Group hugs everyone!!!!!!!

    :explode: rude people make me sick!

    The one thing that comes to mind is this snippy aunt who was not even thin but her daughter was a rail, would say as she'd see me going off to dance class...."here come't the chubby ballerina!!!"

    okay first I was like 8...and NOT fat not even chubby can't figure out why she'd say that....and she gave me such a complex :cry: BUT I got the chance to confront her at my dad's wake....and she was saying omg you look amazing, I was a size 4 in good real good shape...and I said...no more chubby ballerina huh? as nasty as I could and that's hard for me LOL...and she was shocked like didn't remember...and she said that to me EVERYDAY (same street!) She said she was sorry and if she ever knew that it would have made me feel like that she'd have NEVER said it....she kept saying I feel so bad...I feel so bad.....me...oh no worries....just painful memories!:ohwell:

    sigh...some folks don't think!

    another group hug for the road!

    It was a few months after I gave birth to my 1st... I was at work... one of our regular costumers came up to me and said, " When do you give birth???"... I was like, " Uh... I gave birth a few months ago"... I felt so small and my face felt so hot from being so red.

    And a co-worker told me I should get a girdle for my tummy as she patted my stomach... this happened the same day as the first incident.

    When I was a child 11 to 15 I had an eating disorder because I was a pairs ice skater and our coach kept telling me that I was to fat. I eat very VERY small amounts when I did eat, but got rid of the food as fast as I could through purging if need be.
    I have seen pictures I was NOT FAT, I looked like a skelaton. Fast forward to a few years I was around 25 and I ran into my skating partner at the store, with his mother. He looked awful, but took one look at me and said...
    Well it looks like YOU have taken up eating A LOT!
    I said. Yes thanks, I have been eating. And it looks like you are still ugly and living with your mother I hear. Wow great success YOU turned out to be!
    He just stood there fuming as I walked away.
    I was hurt a little by what he said. But I knew that I was healthy, and had come so far to over come the pain of my youth.
    Success is in fact the greatest revenge

    I was over at a friends house for game night, and a mutual friend of ours was there. She is 7 months pregnant and has obviously gained some weight. I had my second child 10 months ago. She said to me... " I fell like you when you were pregnant. Porky Pig" I couldnt believe she said that to me. I just smiled cuz I didnt want to embarrass her. Oh well. Ive lost alot of weight since I was pregnant and now I feel great. :tongue: :laugh: :tongue:

    Oh and another. I had a job as office manager when i was pregnant with my first. There was a little deli by our office that I would go get lunch from. One day my boss followed me over there and said to the lady working. " Quit selling her food or Im gonna have to buy her a bigger chair" !!!! Can you believe that? I wasnt even a size 8 and I was 7 months preggo!!! What an @$$!!
