What is your most embarrassing "fat" moment in your life?

My five year old nephew was amazed that the number 110 even exists so I asked him "what do you think there could be 110 of?" and his answer was "mosquitoes. then they could all get on you and you could be skinny." Kinda stung a little bit, but still kinda funny because I secretly wish for that too lol.

Ah yes...I forgot the comments from my kids...."I don't wanna be big like you , mom".".why are all the other moms skinny?"
I was just plain tired of being the biggest in the room all the time!

I have literally cried reading some of these. At the cruelty of it all.

Last night my almost three year old was was lifting up his shirt and pointing to his belly, everyone thought it was cute. Then he walked up to me and tried to lift up my shirt to see my belly. There was a consensus of "NO!" all around the room. So there's that...

And I feel terrible when I am talking to people and I see their eyes stray down to my stomach. I know it's big, I know there's a roll there, I'm working on it!!

I dont think I have a really embarrassing ones, but whenever I leave the house I feel embarrassed of myself, so yeah just being outside is a huge embarrassment for me because of how much I dislike my figure..plus I am quite paranoid so probably seriously over think things that everyone is staring and judging =\

^^^^ This! I also have had a couple people's eyes stray to my stomach!! I hated it! I was starting to get the fat hang down stomach that hangs over the legs...oh my!! Thank goodness it is gone...I still have a pooch but it's not hanging down anymore! I was mortified at that!

A few years back I had bought a dress online to wear to church at Christmas time. I was a sized 20 at the time, I loved the dress and thought it looked and it felt great on me. Then a friend of mine saw me in the dress and made some rude remarks. She said my arms look humongous and you can see you fat rolls and back fat as well. Then said I should burn the dress cause it's so unflattering on me. This is me in the dress. Yes I'm fat but I felt good in this dress until she started running her mouth, I was mortified!



ps....I look nothing like this now, this was in 2006. I'm no longer friends with the person mentioned either. Just want to slap the b*tch, she never had anything good to say about me and kept trying to do anything and everything possible to split me and my husband up.

This ^^^^^^^
You look beautiful in the dress. I love the style of that dress, especially the way it is cut under the bosom area.

Thank-you, I loved it! The top half is made of metal thread and it was real cool feeling. I hated that someone who was supposed to be a friend told me to burn it and its ugly. I never wore it again I was too self conscious after that because I believed her opinion over mine

I tried on jeans that didn't fit anymore and late last year or early this year, can't remember, I saw 140 on the scale and was disgusted. Ugh

When my ex-husband and I were in Wal-Mart shopping for clothes for my 3-month-old daughter.... I was going to go down an aisle but saw it was blocked... so, I started backing up to get back out of the aisle. He started saying "beep beep beep" (that noise that big trucks make when they back up) and then yelled "watch out, shoppers, wide load coming through". There were tons of people everywhere and they all started laughing. I was mortified.

Needless to say, the *kitten* and I are no longer married. My current husband would never act like that.

What the hell kind of husband says something like that in front of everyone to his own wife? What a prick! Im so sorry!

When my mom gave me her old fat clothes -.-

even worse.. my now ex husbands aunt brought in clothes from chicago AND said "but they still might be too small for YOU"

UGH... and they were butt ugly to boot

I was swimming in the pool at my gym and my bathing suit top was too small. Well yeah my boob popped out and I had no clue why people were staring OOPPSSS LMAO!!!!!!!!!! I laugh now but I was really embarrassed then.

Just one? Lord, but there are so many choice ones it is hard to choose one. How about the top three?

Roller coaster ride at cedar point. Could not get the bar to lock in and had to get off. :sad:
Refused to believe I was not a certain size and ripped the zipper out trying it on. :embarassed:
Split my pants open at work one day when I bent over to pick up some parts out of a bin. Witness involved...of course.

I usually don't post anything, but this thread really got to me. My embarrassing moments happened recently in April when I first decided it was time for me to start my weight loss. I decided that if where I needed to go was within two miles of my house I will walk so I started walking. Everyday there was at least some guy that would yell out his window "you're fat" or my personal favorite "ride a bike you fat b!tch" or similar comments. Now, I still walk but my husband downloaded a bunch of metal and nerdcore on my mp3 so I don't hear mean things and I upped my two miles to three miles. I walk everywhere.

I hate that so many of us have had so many moments like this. Thanks to everyone who had the courage to post...because in the moment, when something embarrassing happens, you feel like you are the ONLY person this stuff has happened to.

My first memories of being teased was in 3rd grade...a boy behind me called me "twinkie" and made "boom" noises when I walked. And the teacher just let it go on...never stopped him or moved him to another desk. I ignored him as best I could, but it stung. The crap didn't stop at school...lucky me had a stepfather who seemed to think that calling me names, not allowing me to eat breakfast on the weekends and watching what I ate like a hawk, forcing me on exercise equipment until HE said I was done, and otherwise shaming me was the way to make me lose weight. And back in high school..I was between a size 7 and 9. I wasn't fat, but I did have a butt.

I have had issues with self esteem and my perception of how I look ever since. This past December was the first time I had an issue with a ride...I was at Silver Dollar City with my kids and this dumbo-like ride had rather short seat belts...they did not go around my youngest son and I together, so I called the attendant over. She said that we wouldn't be able to ride - so I got to do the walk of shame. I was ok with not going on...and so was my son, but it was embarrassing regardless.

I was at work (Security Officer) when a little boy and his Dad walked by me and the little boy said to his Dad " Did you see that fat guy, Daddy?" ugh.

I flew to Florida to visit family, it was only the second time I had flown and been at least 15 years and 130 larger. The plane was small, and I kept bumping people trying to find my seat as I was one of the last to board. I finally get to the seat, and couldn't get my bag to fit overhead, had to head back down the isle bumping into everyone again. Then I make it back to the seat and squeeze into the seat next to a really sweet 19 year old who became my friend over the next hour. I wish I could tell his mother what a wonderful young man he was... he gladly switched seats (I had the window side) and helped me get settled... then I realized the seat belt wouldn't go around me. I was mortified.... I was scared because it had been so long since I had flown, but now not only scared, I was just dying of embarrassment. I had to flag down the flight attendant to let her know my belt wouldn't fit. Again, the plane was so small everyone knew my seat belt didn't fit. She brought me an extender, all the while holding up the flight which was already late. I was getting flustered, and my face was red...the kind young man beside me was trying to calm me down... he made me miss my girls who would have done the very same thing he was. I am glad that I didn't have to stay on that plane for long, and was soon on a larger plane headed to FL, and didn't need an extender on that plane, but I had charlie horses in my legs the entire flight... i was a nervous wreck by the time I got to Tampa. I will have to say my second flight back home was much better, but I vowed I was losing weight, enough is enough.

Then of course there is the time I stood on my new kitchen chair to reach something in the cabinet and it broke...crumbled underneath me... in all the years I've been climbing on my chairs as ladders... only family there, but it hurt my pride, and I always check weight limits now. LOL

I've just started this journey here with fitnesspal, but prior to finding this last week, I lost 20lbs over the last two months, and looking forward to using the site... so far I love it.
