I hate rude comments!

This morning I woke up, and was feeling realitivly good about myself, I weighed one pound less than the week before and I was excited to start my day.

Around lunch time I got up to go get my brown paper lunch sack and sit down and eat the sandwich I had packed. As I was walking towards a table to sit down at I couldn't help but over hear two men talking behind me, and I felt extremely discouraged as I heard one say, "Haven't you noticed all the fat people have brown lunch sacks?"

I feel as though this was a very rude comment to say, especially since he said it loud enough for me to hear. I usually don't care what other people say, or think for that matter, but I've been feeling especially hurt by this. Ugh, I'm so angry at the moment I just want to punch him! Has a similar expereince ever happened to you guys?

"so why dont you have one..." regardless of this aholes size :D

but im rude :D haha..i understand completly!

only when i was younger.
which i think is the reason for my obsessive need to loose weight now.

well, these people are pathetic. and if they keep eating un nutritional food we'll be the ones laughing =)

keep at it and prove them wrong.

wow, he actually said that?  What a jerk! 

no, no one's ever said that in my hearing but I can imagine what it feels like.

When I was in high school, I was a late bloomer and when I finally did start developing, I gained around 10 pounds fairly quickly. I found a note that one of my "friends" had written my other friend and it said "she used to be so tiny and now she is 100% fat!" I didn't even think I was fat until reading that. I ended up thinning out toward the end of the year as my body adjusted, but I will never be able to forget that.

I am very sensitive about people calling other people fat. It is mean, but what bothers me the most is that it's not helpful at all and it leaves the person who was called fat feeling hopeless and depressed. I mean, in most cases I'm sure the person being called "fat" wants to lose weight and is aware of his or her size.

Nothing anyone else says is because of you. They says things based on their own distorted reality. And a lot of times, people just don't think before they open their mouths.

I'm sorry to hear that.  I almost cried reading that!  (I'm emotional today.)

Yes,

Once when i was weighing myself at the GYM a male 'friend' of mine looked at my weight and me and said oh, are you pregnant. Which i wasn't...i went and cried in the shower.

What an asshole, don't let losers ( especially men) get you down...i know easier said than done.

Remember you are beautiful:)

One good turn deserves another. 

Make him a brown lunch sack and place it on his desk Monday morning.

I would have cut two eyeholes in the brown bag and handed it to the man and said "Here, put this over your head... this is what we 'fat' people carry the bags for... for ugly mugs like yours." *Evil grin*

BWAH-hah-haaaaaaaaaah!

Don't let them get you down... you're doing great!

Incredible.  What a jerk.  I'd rather be overwieght than an insensitive hurtful creep any day.  Weight you can lose!

BTW, congrats on losing the pound this week!!

I know how u feel, except that person was a stranger, my own family make comments when they see me eat and I eat healthy.

They have a heart attack when i eat in front of them!!

I've gained 10 lbs since last summer, and I swear everyone can sense my sensitivity to it. Yeah so i slacked off during winter, back off.

I've had guy friends come up to be at bars and be like "Looks like you've packed on a few LBS Steph, but you still look hot..." Well thanks for the left handed compliment you ass...

The other day at work my co-worker was telling a story about this woman who is 40ish and has 4 kids- 1 which is in her daughter's class. Anyway, she continues to tell her story and is telling me how she her "look" reminds her of me. These were her exact words, "She's tall, Italian, and has long dark hair like you, but she's had 4 kids. She's like 40ish or something...older than you, of course, but she has a better body than you." I literally had to pick my jaw up off the floor. I had no reaction to her. Now she's always been super nice to me, but I'm just not sure if she expressed what she really meant or what? LOL but I've been ignoring her at work.

Try my mother.

Today she said to me, "You know, you've been eating a lot since our talk (a few weeks ago she told me I was being too "disciplined" in my healthy habits--whatever). You look better skinnier. You've probably gained three pounds."

Yes, that comment was rude and uncalled for.....but ..... once a comment like that made me get my stuff together and loss weight!

My grandma worked on the seating chart for my cousin's wedding. It was such a great ceremony and everyone washaving a great time until I found out I was sitting at the "kids" table (was 21 at the time). I was kind of frustrated because I could not have a glass of champagne there, and I asked my grandma why she put me there...I was obviously not a "kid" anymore. She said that she thought I needed the "practice." When I asked her what she meant by that, she said that I would obviously be needing some skills taking care of kids soon and that she had figured that I was pregnant because I had obviously gained some weight. GGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...... She said this in front of our whole family.

I knew I had gained weight, but I did not think that someone else thought I was pregnant because of it. It hurt that someone did this to me without making sure, but it hurt even worse coming from grams.

Oh god, I feel so, so very bad for you. I have had the exact same problem, but especially with my family, my entire life. I've been blatantly told, "You're too fat" since I was eight years old. It also DOES NOT HELP that my grandma is pretty much anorexic. There are times when she eats once every three days, and when she does eat it's like a slice of toast or something. She can't fit into a size zero because it's too big for her and complains about being fat to me. I'm an effing size fourteen right now!!! It makes me so mad!!! It also doesn't help that my grandpa is constantly saying "You look like you've gained weight" when I've lost 25 lbs and haven't gained a single pound back!!! He also loves to say how my grandma needs to eat more and I need to stop eating permanently!!! 

I can relate to all of this!
i was brought up in an overweight family. i have also had this wonderful abillity to gain and gain since puberty, which for me was about 10/11 years old. and eversince yr 7 (8th grade i think) ive been aware of it. and it doesnt hlp that all my friends are Sticks...
tho for me its not when theyre being blatently rude that it gets me.. its when theyre trying to tiptoe around it; it makes me cry when my ddad is trying to be nicey nicey about it all..

what is it with grandmothers??? mine is like that to me and my older sister too....arg

well, this is my first post as i joined about 2 hours ago!! hah. 20-25lbs by august!! im going to tennerife!!!

yh.. ill go now
xxRo

Italian princess--- that B**** is just jealous of you!! Your beautiful...You remind me of my sister! I am Italian too!! WooHOO!!!

I hate mean people!!!!!!! They are all digusted with themselves!!!

What is wrong with people today?  People love to be nasty!  But....as I tell my daughter....the world has a way of correcting itself.  "What comes around, goes around." 

So if it helps, just remember, evil repays evil and good repays good.

Well thank you Stella. Her mean words, just make me work harder at being a beautiful person inside and out.

It just comes down to people don't really think before they speak...or like beachwalker said some people "get off" on that type of stuff.

People can be the rudest hedge-pigs imaginable, especially if they think you can't hear them!  Ignore idiots!  You are doing great, and I bet whatever you had in that lunch sack was far healthier than what Mr. Moron was eating.  When things like this get you down, remember that folks who have a habit of being so negative, like Mr. Moron, will die alone and be eaten by wild dogs! ;)
