worst insult you ever got because of your weight....

mine by FAR was last schoolyear

so i was rushing to get out of social studies class (small desks and it SOOO hot in that room!) so i climb up my chair and jump over my desk. before i get to the door my teacher said 'better not do that again! im suprised you didnt break through the floor!' and the whole class laughed SOOO hard i thought i was gonna die!! :( sooo embarassing, i was really upset and i am usually not one to be affected by that stuff.... however i lost 30lbs this summer so hopefully i wont get any more comments like that....

It oftentimes seems that these comments always come up when we have just started making a good effort and taking the weight loss seriously.

However a great retort to anyone making a fat comment about you, just tell them that you were at least born with a brain, which they obviously seem to lack, not to mention you can loose the weight they can't grow intelligence, manners or a brain!!!

School was quite bad for me :( but even in adult life I had suffered quite some abuse.

Guy walking past me saying: You are so f***ing ugly!

Guy on a bicycle calling me: Fatso!!! And of course he rode off and I couldn't respond

However today when I do have the chance to respond I relish in giving them a piece of mind, be proud of the fact that thankfully you are intelligent and on your way to a slimmer and healthier you.

I really wonder what  makes people think that they have the right to insult big people. It's actually a very pathetic thing to do.

The last one I remember clearly: I was with a friend and we were leaving the mall. As we walked by 2 18-19 yearold boys, they made beeping (like trucking backing up) noises at me.

It was horrific. I pretended I didn't hear them so I wouldn't be obliged to talk about it or something.

When I was a junior in highschool, I was putting on makeup in the bathroom with the door open getting ready to go hang out with my friends.  My brother walked in and said, "Why bother?  No one's going to look at you because you're so fat and ugly."

He made mean comments to me all the time; we used to fight a lot.  This one was different because he said it matter of factly and not while we were in a fight.  I said mean shit back to him, but it still hurt hearing that one, especially since I never had a date all through high school.

Holy Crap it will never cease to amaze me how horrible people can be. As cliched as it sound people that are that rude are usually covering up some short coming or low self worth problem of there own. I've been on the giving and recieving end and each one makes you feel pretty shitty. I'm just gonna teach my kids the right way to be now

Ive told my daughter years from now nobody will care whether or not she was overweight in high school but they will  remember what a jerk the kid was who went around making fun of other people plus how many other kids already wonder whats so wrong with him that he has to try to make other people miserable.

I had a drive by insult "Why dont you lose some weight you fat B*tch."  I wanted to ask him why he was still having sex with his (insert family member name here) but I didnt want to offend such a classy guy so I let it slide. 

  

uh today! i was at mongolian grill trying to be healthy with all kinds of vegetables and tofu. when they put it on the grill this little boy was like "wow she has ALOT!" and out of the corner of my eye i saw his dad looking at me. i felt soo ASHAMED for filling my plate!

This makes me so sad. It's horrible how cruel people can be to eachother. Especially a teacher! that person should be fired. I've never been overweight in my life, slim for most of it, but I've always had a protruding stomach. I had a very mean 'best friend' in grades 6-8. One day our class was going on a field trip and i was wearing a skirt. She looked at my stomach and said "are you wearing a fanny pack under your skirt?" - that hurt. Another time a boy said that I would be skinny if I didn't have a big stomach. I could go on and on. I've always been sensitive about it. Even last night, a coworker grabbed my stomach and said "you really need to do some sit-ups" - the worst part was that I do work out almost every day. I'm 126lbs at my heavy weight, at 5'7. What is the world coming to? These comments don't even compare to the way my own brother told me I was fat on a routine basis growing up. When I was 15 I was hospitalized with anorexia. I hate to say that I would ever wish anything bad on these people, but if they treat their own children with the cold and un-compassionate manner that they treat others concering weight, I'm sure they'll experience what it's like to have a child in the hospital, or at least with very low self confidence and related issues, one day.

If being hurt by others has any positive outcome it's that it's probably made us all much kinder and compassionate people. 

freshman year of high school i got cast as juliet in romeo and juliet...I heard one of my friends behind me saying, why did they cast her, i know she's pretty but she's too fat for juliet :(

Just yesterday I was at the mall with my friend Sarah and these guys walked past us and looked at her and we're like, "Smoookin'!" And then to me {we were walking away so they somehow seemed to think my ears didn't hear them or something ridiculous like like} "Ooh" (Disgust/catty tone here) "not smokin'..."

I know I'm fixing this up but it just makes me more impatient for the day when I can walk into a store, get a medium size shirt and NOT get made fun of by people. Ugh. Not the worst insult ever, but it's been a LONG time since I've been made fun of and heard it with my own ears.

Tabathar,

all I can say JEALOUS! You were Juliet and the "friends" behind your back, were NOT and hey maybe not even in the play?
It's called talent.

hi mine would definitely be when i was in the pool last year and everytime i would jump in my  two "friends" would say TSUNAMI! and then we would go in the hot tub and they would be like so amazed at how high the water went up when I would get out

Now those really hurt especially because I was really conscious about my weight ESPECIALLY in a bathing suit

It really just makes me angry now because it's not like they are that much skinnier than me.. why pick on me?

>:-(

Ok, so this isn't like the worst insult out there, but I was twelve years old, for Pete's sake, and it didn't really help my self esteem.

I went through puberty really early, so when I was twelve I had gained quite a bit of weight and had very large breasts for my age, I'm talking at least a D cup.  I was pretty self-conscious about it.  (Now that I've lost weight, all my boobage is gone, but oh well :) Anyway, in eighth grade I was just messing around with my friend and somehow I ended up sitting down hard on the edge of one of those long cafeteria tables.  The table buckled and crashed to the floor.  Everyone stared.  This guy who was always making fun of me exclaimed in a very loud voice, "Big titty overload, bringin' the table down!"  Everyone could hear.  As if I wasn't embarrassed enough.

My mother told me that that I should try to lose weight because the only thing I was missing was the apple in my mouth.

I am horrified by the stories of family members being so cruel. That is just so wrong - your family should be a place of safety!!

Definitely junior high school and the first few years of high school were bad for me (I lost a lot of weight in the summer between grade 10 and 11). I wasn't even that big then, but kids are cruel little bastards.

I wish adults would intervene more in these things. Then again, there seems to be at least one teacher (first post) that's equally a jackass.

A guy I wanted to date years ago told me I was grossly obese - I knew I was obese he didn't have to stick the word grossly in front of it - its such an awful word!  It broke my spirit that word - I never aknowledged him again

Worst insult Ive prolly had was from my brother.  I was drove his car because my battery had died and I had to get to work, and his car is lowered and has a bodykit etc.  Well when I got home I parked it where it usually was etc.

Then around 2 hrs later he came in running through the house lookin for me because it turns out either I hit something and didnt notice, which I'm sure I would have freakin heard..., or someone else hit it or something happend to cause the bodykit's fiberglass bumper to split in 2... which I'd think if I hit something I would have noticed... and I dont see how I could have even drivin it like that so I have NO CLUE what caused it.

So anyway he assumed I did it, and I cant say with 100% assurance that I didnt... I have no clue wtf happend..., so he ran to my door beat on it as hard as he could I answered the door like ??? he started shouting "WTF DID YOU DO TO MY CAR" I thought he was joking so I just started laughin and said "wtf are you talkin about?", its also good to point out that I'm a smart ass by nature so he probably thought I was being a smart ass like usual.  Well me laughing pissed him off even more so he went into a rage and startin raving and insulting me with stuff like "YOU ****ING FAT*** blah blah blah" then came at me tryin to fight so we were throwing eachother around the room for around 5 mins before my dad broke it up.

Still dunno what happend to do that, honestly I think someone backed into it after I parked it.  But yea that kinda upset me for a bit because he never said anythin like that to me before and I know it was probably just because he was mad but the fact that he said it meant that it he obviously thought that.

Oh well, at that time I was about 280lb and he was under 200, now he's 260lb and I'm 209lb. 

The thing that probably hurt me most was in French class. i sat at my own in the back and there was this girl called katie acting up in the front so the teacher, instead of making her sit on one of the tables with no one, made her come sit next to me but she stood up and said "I don't want to sit next to that fat heffer." My god I was so embarassed and to make it worse she took about ten minutes to get to the table and when she finally did she made this huge show of moving the chair to the side of the table and kept making a fuss throughout the lesson, which the teacher completely ignored.

I felt like the teacher was using me as a punishment tool.

Mine was in December 2006, when one of my family members (an uncle) called me "Two-Ton-Tess" in front of everyone. Me, the fool that I was, laughed along with him, but deep down I was screaming from the hurt and the pain!!  Thats why one should always take the next person's feelings into consideration. I just wasn't the same after that!
