what type of fat comments of you gotten from people?

we all know that people would talk about us and our weight. So what kind of comments have u recieved from some poeple?

a few months ago before i started to lose weight my dad usto tell my that if i looked this fat at this age, imagine how big i would look when im 30. Yea it did hurt, but he also wanted me to get a reality check and realize that i needed to start losing weight.
Once this girl thought i was my sister, Dyane, but then she said "No that's too fat to be Dyane"

Although these comments really did hurt my feelings, they also made me realize that i really needed to start losing weight

I had a really good friend once tell me "You just let it all hang out, and don't care about the fat." She meant it as a compliment,but I felt really embarrassed.

My older brother calls me LC which is slang for Elsie the cow.

- when i was in 2nd grade, we had company over and were having icecream for desert. I reached for a second helping and my mom got real close to my face and started making pig noises right in front of everyone-THAT was supportive
- when i was in 11th grade i started to experience alot of stress, my parents yanked me from the town where i had gone to school with the same kids all of my life, now i was in an entirely different community knowing not a soul, and the start of my binge eating to cope. I put on around 15 pounds within a few months and my dad took me outside and said "you need to stop all this eating your face is getting so big, its like a big moon face" and he blew his cheeks up with air and tilted his head like it was a big floating moon.
- my husband, a few years back when we were going through a terrible time called me a "fat f*ck"

Someone once asked my mom how far along she was. She said 5 months and kept going but I know it hurt her. She had 4 kids and all her weight was just in her stomach.

i was a size 14 in high school. When i was a senior at a VERY small town school, i was walking down the hall and this jock junior girl started walking behind me and started hunching over, holding her arms way out on her side in a round shape and blew up her cheeks. Her friends laughed out loud at her actions and at me. Well, little did she know I happened to a weight lifter and not much patience for idiots. I turned around and asked if she had something to say to me. She said, nope, just trying to see what it would be like being your size. I said, let me give you an example and punched her, just floored her! They had to call her mom to come get her because she had so much blood all over her clothes from her nose and mouth. Never again after that did I have one problem. In fact, it improved my high school days. the good old days.

thanks! it wasn't easy at my first high school being a female weight lifter, then to go to a small town where they don't know how to act with outsiders was really tricky. She deserved what she got. They called my mom and told her what I did and that i was suspended for two days. My mom said that wasn't going to happen unless they suspended the girl i punched. needless to say, i didn't miss any school. And the guys were my best friends after that!

that is awesome. just popped her in the face. brilliant.

i love it when people's comments don't make any logical sense. like, snow pig -i was like, 'excuse me? because it is cold outside. f-you.' we were younger then, but still...it hurt.

the smile on my face today repeating that story is just as big the day it happened.

i should mention that i don't really have anger issues, but i thought if I didn't stop the teasing right then and there, it would go on longer and i wasn't going to tolerate that.

The worst comment I've ever had came from a guy I went to high school with, at our 10 year reunion. A bunch of us were sitting around visiting and he mentioned how good my Mom looked (which she does --- she's a petite size 5). Then he said something about how Mom and I used to share clothes in hs, and followed it with "bet that doesn't happen now with the size you are". Conversation at our table just stopped, and everyone sat there with jaws dropped. I didn't know what to say, so I laughed and said "well, we still share shoes and purses". The tension seemed to break. But it hurt me terribly. I was so embarassed. I haven't gone to a reunion since.

I am looking forward to going next year at goal weight!

A few friends and I used to go to karaoke at a local restaurant every Wednesday when I was 18 or 19. I was about a size 16 and had just lost about 40 lbs, so I never felt insecure. Then this young guy went up to the front and started singing "The Humpty Dance". There is a part of the song where they say "Hey Yo Fat Girl!" and he pointed me out. My heart kind of sank and I know my face got all red. I could see a lot of other people in the room were uncomfortable. But he continued with the song (I'm sure he thought he was being quite the stageman). My best friend was furious because she could tell how upset I was. Before I knew it, she was up near the microphone with her iced tea. She then proceeded to dump it on his head, mid song. The whole room started clapping and the jerk finished his song with soggy hair and a lemon on his shoulder.

9:55 that singer was such an ass he got what he deserved. How awesome that you had lost 40lbs that is alot of weight, I bet you looked gorgous. How did the singer look with iced tea over his head and a lemon on his shoulder? LOL

Hey 9:55, I think I remember that day ;) I wish I could have punched him in the face! I figured I couldn't get arrested for iced tea dumping (or could that count as disturbing the peace?).

You're beautiful. He sucks at life.

This has to be one of the worst fat stories I have ever heard. I don't mean to sound terrible but What the HE!! is wrong with your parents?? If parents don't support there children than who does. How disturbing. As far as your husband goes...are you still with him?? I would had thrown him out that minute. Good luck on losing your weight and meeting your goal. Just remember you are still a special person regardless of your weight.

Comments from my mother:
-stop eating that, your father doesn't want fat children
-stop eating. I don't want your father to see you eating when he comes home
-I remember when I used to take pictures of you when you were skinny
-if you don't be careful, you're going to look like your aunts (who are all obese)


My cousin:
-Wow, you're looking "healthy" (he could have said worse, but I know what he meant)

My neighbor on the night of my wedding:
-I wouldn't drink too much of that because that's where this comes from (as he grabbed my love handles)
This was one of my wake up calls 14 months ago!

My grandmother:
-As she was looking at an older picture of me, her, and my mother: "Oh, remember when we were all thin and pretty?"

My older brother:
-Pushing my belly with his finger and saying, "hoo hoo" like they do to the pilsbury dough boy

Grade School:
-Being called "Fatso"
-Being put on the end of the rope of tug-o-war as the "anchor"

...and there is so much more. This is just what I could remember off the top of my head. If feels good to get it out.

just remember, nature takes care of people like that. they all have their own issues and it's easier to point out other's flaws than deal with their own insecurities.

over the summer my grandmother said to me: I know why that little niece of yours loves you so much, its because you're so big and soft and round like a pillow... I know she didn't mean it like that... but... it hurt.
About a week later, my aunt emailed me and said that she had lost some weight and was getting rid of her fat clothes. she wanted to know if I wanted them.

Sorry

I was never heavy as a child. I don't remember every picking on anybody for being heavy. I am sorry you all had to go through that. Now I am almost 40 and I have put on a few extra pounds I think I would be really hurt if someone said those things to me now, let alone in those formative years.

Oh Lord there were so many. Everytime I would go into the kitchen my father would say "do you really need that?!" or "Eating again, jeez, you'll never learn" Like because I was overweight I wasn't supposed to eat at all?!?!

Kids in school. My name ends in ette, well they would change it and to ".... at" and rhyme it with all things FAT!

One time a girl in my class was blowing out her cheeks and blowing out air, one kid asked what she was doing and the kids sitting next to me said to him while looking at me "maybe she should do that so she can deflate hereself!" -
Being fat as a kid sucks! I'm not fat anymore but I tell my kids never to make fun of people regardless of their size, race, looks, anything because I know from personal experience how it can affect your life and your self esteem!!

I went through fifth and sixth grade called the "Good Year Blimp" by a few mean kids in my class. They even got a good year blimp eraser and used to use it to tease me. It hurt soooo bad. I can remember pretending to be sick when I got the idea they were going to go and weigh us in those class weigh ins they used to do for everyone in the school. It was awful. The stress of it. WHY does a school need to weigh kids in front of one another? God I hope they dont do that anymore. Its torture. I wasnt even fat, just pudgy, but the pudgiest one. I hit Jr High and all the elementary schools combined and then it was better at least because the focus was taken off me. (I know thats awful to say!) But can you imagine what it was like the day we actually saw the good year blimp fly over the school??????????? OMG, I want to cry thinking about it. Awful.

When I was thirteen, I went to this department store to buy clothes. I liked a shirt and wanted to try it and the sales woman told me she didn't think the store had any clothes my size.
I felt extremely bad but I thought that the shirt should fit me considering the dimensions so I went in and I tried the shirt well it did fit me and I bought the shirt.
I also showed the woman that not only did the shirt fit me it looked good on me :).
By far that was the worst apart from how my uncles would crack jokes on my expense about fat races and stuff like that.

When I was diagnosed with lupus the doctor put me on a whole bunch of meds, including steroids that blimped me out. I gained more than 80 lbs in a year on the steroids.

Then there was a death in the family and I had to go back home for the funeral (moved away after getting married 7 years before). While at the funeral a cousin looked at me and said "Oh my god you turned into a fucking whale!"

I have been "fat" most of my life...212 all through high school...I had all the usual teasing and crap from just about everyone. But the worst I can remember as it happened 5 minutes ago was when my neighbor's husband and her son drew a naked picture of me with the name moby dick written on it and taped it to my door. I didn't know it was there until my oldest daughter went to go outside and saw it. She said, "Mommy, who is the fat naked lady in the picture on the door." She was about 5 or 6 then...now she is 20 and still remembers that damn picture. I was so anger when I saw it. I didn't know what to do. I walked over to my neighbors house, knocked on her door, handed her the picture with tears in my eyes, and walked away. She was my best friend and was overweight herself. Not as bad as I was but still overweight. I could hear her screaming at her son and husband for a long time. They came over shortly after the screaming stopped. I stood in the doorway just looking at them as they said they were only joking and they were sorry if it upset me. I didn't say anything and closed the door in their faces! It took me a LONG time to get over that.

The saddest thing about all of this is that the people who are saying and/or doing things to us do not realize they are NOT helping!!! They are only making things worse!

I am a firm believer in "what comes around goes around" and it was proven to me when I went to a high school reunion some years back. A guy that had tormented me all through high school about my weight and had sexually harrassed my sister to no end was there..............he weighed MORE than I did at the time (300+) and is raising 3 beautiful little GIRLS!

My sister and I (twins) saw him at the same time, looked at each other, and just busted out laughing!!! That was truely a beautiful moment!

Wow. People can be so thoughtless and cruel.
I didnot have the fat problem. Aa young person I was totally the opposite and what I heard was : Skinny winny, scrawny soni (my nickname is soni), jolly green giant, bag of bones, stick figure, if you turn sidewise and stick out your tongue you'll look like a zipper, how's the air up there?, do you sleep on a stretcher, do you ever eat, stiltwalker, boney bones, flappin' flamingo legs, the dietician, ......................
It was neverending what they could come up with. Some of them I could laugh at but mostly it hurt as it was intended to. I just wanted those of you who were picked on for being overweight to realize that you were not the only ones.

I just have to say that kids (and some immature adults) can be very cruel.

I didn't start gaining my weight till I was in late high school, so didn't have to deal with all this as a kid, but I was really into sports, didn't like girly things (like pink dresses) and had short hair. I was always teased for looking like a boy. And to this day all the teasing I got still hurts. In a way I was so happy when I finally grew some boobs.

Since I was a young adult (and finally looked like a woman) I have had to deal with weight related comments. My mom can be blunt sometimes and I always dread her saying something about my size. I know she means well, but the point is it's not like I don't KNOW I need to lose weight. My mom's been a twig her whole life and I totally took on my father's body shape. My mom doesn't have the body strength to stay active, and has low bone density, so in a way I pity her because even though I need to lose 30 lbs. I'm probably much healthier.

My bf and I teach English in Korea and if you thought people here are mean and blunt you haven't heard anything. You have to submit your picture when applying for a job, so they can weed out the overweight, non-whites, and people who look too scary for children. Pretty, thin, blond haired blue-eyed people with a North American accent get jobs more easily and sometimes will get paid more. My bf's maybe 15lbs. overweight and the kids would sometimes poke him in the stomach and say "Teacher, baby in the belly?" I used to have one student who liked poking my pudge too - the weirdest thing though was that she was pudgy herself! Most adults know better to do this to foreigners, but I've heard stories of people saying "Oh, you look fat today." or "You have gotten fatter since I last saw you" etc. (this supposedly isn't rude to them).

I think my worst recent ones haven't been directly about my weight, but more about how much older it makes me look! 3 people recently have asked if I am my mum's sister or sister-in-law - I'm only 20, and she's nearly 50! It was one of my wake-up calls to start losing weight.

Once when I was younger, and a little heavy, my mom served me dinner before my siblings came home for the Easter weekend. It was good Friday so I ate a piece of trout. I opened the oven to get another piece and she said, "Don't eat it all, you brother is coming."

wow ... I just want to say that I'm sad and sorry that all of you had to deal with that :( if I had ever been within earshot, I would have been the girl pouring the drink over the head!

I work so hard to instill good body image in my children that it makes me feel ill to think of some of these things being said to children. It's so important and every one of you deserved better ... geez especially from family members!!!!

I hope you all know now that you are NOT those comments! Those comments say volumes about the person who spoke them and in all honesty probably say NOTHING about you, EVEN if you are carrying extra weight on your body!! I bet that if each person had posted their weight in those threads we would have been shocked to see the range of weights involved in those comments.

The best revenge is to live well and be happy! Seriously whether you meet your weight goals or not - be happy with who you are as a person b/c as is evident in this thread you could do a lot worse than "fat" as your problem!

My neighbor

I had just fome back from the gym and my neighbor was sitting outside and she said " I remember when you moved in (2 yrs ago). You were SO THIN and PRETTY. I mean I could hardly believe you're the same person. You must have been 30 lbs lighter than you are now (actually I'm 15 lbs heavier). You were so PRETTY"

Did she even think this could be interpreted as a compliment????

I came home and cried and also vowed to make more time for taking care of myself. Hoping to lost those 15lbs by Labor Day.

My dad, basically my whole life has told me to "think thin" and comments on what I'm eating. Now he, himself, is excessively overweight, and even has type 2 diabetes because of it! This may be his own personal crap but still it hurts. A lot. Every time. It's been about 17 years now.

I was on a date with a guy who told me if I lost about 25 lbs he'd consider dating me exclusively. Then asked if I wanted a ride home! (I live in a city and took the subway to meet him) I told him to screw himself and that he didn't get to know where I lived!

I've been told a lot that I have such "good skin" or "such a pretty face" which is not an insult per se but is generally followed by a look to my belly or a "if only you weren't so chubby!"

My boss told me a few months ago that he wants me to be 30 lbs lighter the next time he saw me. I told him I'll cut off a leg the next day. I've refused to talk to him ever since. (update - I found that he makes comments like this to people I've personally considered to be skinny) I cried at work the day it happened.

A very obese woman I know (as in very young but still has type 2 diabetes, foot problems etc) said that she and I look exactly alike from behind.

DO people think I'm not aware that I'm fat???

My boyfriend is very skinny. I tend to take the offensive and tell people that we are a "ten" He's the one and I'm the zero.

6th grade bullying

i am eleven and in sixth grade. i weigh 200 lbs and im 5 ft 3 in. at school every day on the bus in the morning im called a "fat ass","Medea" and "fat ass whore". in school comments I've received (this is all just today) are "my God Alana, your taking up the whole hallway", "holy shit its fat ass!", and "well at least im a skinny bitch and not a fat ass like you!". at school i'm called :"oompa-loompa", "hippo", and "fat".
I am so stinking tired of situations when the skinny girl next to you has more food than you and a guy you like turns around, looks at your plate, and says:"Damn, girl, your like a cow on steroids!" and i didn't eat lunch today. i have considered suicide also because my dad is horrible. he give my sisters desert and not me- he sends me to bed. I go to his house every weekend by court order but i hate it! Last weekend he sat me down with my step-mom and basically said they are going to feed me less than my step-sisters. last year at my old school, a kid had been calling me names and hitting me and pushing me and i lost my temper when he walked up behind me and grabbed me and threw me down. i got up and, with everything i had, punched him on the nose. he hit the wall behind and leaned against it so i kicked him in the nuts- then i was expelled but it still felt darn good.
any advice would be accepted :) (P.S id don't normally cuss- i was just telling you and no :go to the principle" crap- it doesn't work.)
