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....

"Let's not waste time trying to figure out what caused her eating disorder. It is impossible to know." (therapist from the UCSF eating disorder clinic)

Thats quite a disgusting thing to say if she is your therapist, unrooting the cause it part of the process of recovery, what is she thinking,

At my work there is this woman who I think takes pleasure in the fact that i am overweight.  Every now and then she will say little things about how she can't believe I go to the gym or when at lunch i am eating carrots or an apple she'll say "go for you" in a tone that's not that nice.  At first I thought i was just making it out to be something  more than it is but one day i was talking about my husband who is a runner and teaches tae kwon do and she says to me "why would you two be together with him being so healthy and athletic?" WTF

 

this isnt related to weight, But it is the worst insult ever anyway.

"u are **** up...i wish u were a jew born in the 1940's...that way Hitler would have gassed you because ur a Jew, revived u, then gassed u again because ur a **** gay ****...i hope u choke on someones ball sack and get cancer."

I dont think people understand the gravity of their words, but it made me sad.

I wasn't made fun of weight wise since I was relatively normal until the last couple of years when I started really picking up weight.  Now I'm 5'5 and 185.  My grandfather used to make comments if I ate a hamburger or something unhealthy ("that's going right to your thighs", or "you really shouldn't eat that" or "you'd be so pretty if you lost some weight").  My fiance sometimes will call me his Cabbage Patch doll or will poke my stomach or grab a roll.  The worst was just recently though, when my grandmother told me I'd have to lose weight or I'd look like a fat pig coming down the aisle at my wedding.  Then she commented to my fiance that he should buy me a new coat, but to make sure it was an extra extra large.

She also told my mom (who's also overweight and is trying to lose) that she looks like she's gained weight even though she hasn't.  It really hurt my mom's feelings. 

Some four year-old kid said I was as big as a house. Cheeky bastard.

I was at a friends sitting on this wooden topped ottoman thingy, and there were about 12 people in the room, when all of a sudden the thing breaks and I go crashing to the floor. Everyone laughs and this one guy turns to me and says, well it serves you right for being so fat. It was soooo embarrassing, but the thing was old and crappy. I mean I weighed about 170lbs back then (I'm 5'4).

I got dumped by this guy I was seeing, beacuse I was too big. He said he wanted a tiny girl he could throw around the bedroom, and I was too big to do that with. Again, I weighed about 170.

I had rocks thrown at my car by some teenagers, and when I got out of the car to confront them they laughed at me and called me a stupid fat ****.

I was in a pub getting some drinks at the bar, having a great time with friends, when this guy walks up to me, looks me up and down like a piece of rotten meat, and then openly stares at my chest. He then says, "they're not (boobs) they're just two big bags of fat."

I have recently lost nearly 42lbs, and already the comments have dropped. It makes me really sad that people can think so little of someone else based purely on their weight.

 

 

 

A couple of comments about my arms:

• "Haha they're really squishy" - ex boyfriend who was touching my arms
• "Wow! Your arms are bigger than mine!" - one of the guys I used to work with
• "You have huge guns" - mom's boyfriend (love him though)
  
  it's just upsetting, girls dont' want to hear that. I've always had treestump legs + arms, even when I've had a thin waist. I don't think there's much I can do about it.

And then there's my mom saying how she wants to get rid of excess weight in her thighs (meanwhile hers aren't even touching, mine are)

Also how she says I'm "hippy" and "stocky". Thank you mom! But when I'm upset about it, she just goes on and on about how beautiful my body is etc. Whatever, what a lie.

 

My god, these are horrible. I know being human, our judgment is evident in everything, and I know I've walked down the street and thought "If that girl was thinner, she'd be pretty." I've never gone up to a random person or even an acquaintance who was overweight and said a comment, let alone one as cruel as the ones here.  I've been borderline overweight due to a hormone problem, and just being inside my body and feeling too heavy for what I was used to was horrid.  Luckily, I only stayed in that stage for about a month or so, so I can't imagine being overweight for decades, as some people have been on here, having fragile self-esteem, and then having some person tell you such hurtful comments. And the teacher one? That's terrible. That's really a disgusting side of human nature.

Oh my god, so many mean disgusting things have been said. I cant believe people can be so fxcking heartless.

In the 8th grade this guy Josh would always call me fat, everyday. I would always try to ignore him. He even wrote on the board one day in school "Iselina is fat", gladly no one else but the teacher was in class, i would have been so embarrassed. and i told the teacher to look at the board and he wiped it away real quick, but she still yelled at him

Also the best friend of my ex (his name is michael) also left me a picture comment on myspace saying "Man the harpoons!" I didnt know what it means for the longest time, so i left it on there. I found out what it mean, deleted it right away and was so freaking embarrassed i felt like crying. I was so hurt.

He also called my boyfriend a chubby chaser RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. How freaking rude is that? I couldnt believe it. I was so speechless. That **** of a boyfriend never stood up for me either, i finally dumped that ****.

I've also heard things like "You'd be the prettiest girl in (area) if you'd only lost some weight" --This was told to me by my morbidly obsese (380+ lb) aunt. also my grandmother has said the same thing.

My dad called me fat throughout my whole childhood, wasnt very fun.

OMG. I had to struggle not to cry reading through some of these.

Here are mine: "Your face got bigger too" (sister)

"What happened??? you used to be soooo..." (ex-friend in Wal Mart regarding the fact that I was not fit anymore-loudly I may add)

"You're one cheeseburger away" (Cocky 5'4'' personal trainer guy @ the gym)

"You mean you got bigger than THAT?" (Ex co-worker a few days ago after I told her I'd lost 25 lbs)

And when I was thin: "You have gone too far, and you aren't sexy anymore (fat colleague in the cafeteria. I was 5'5'' and 135 lbs)

"Maybe if you eat more and exercise less, you'll get more.... (Guy I quickly stopped dating- he was gesturing to his hips, butt area)

Sigh.... God if I ever say things like this to people without first being deeply insulted, I will not question it if you decide to give me a third breast and huge pimple while I sleep.

My friends consider 5ft 7 and 110-115lbs to be the perfect figure... Before I lost weight, I used to be 5ft 2 and 125 but they'd all complain about how they were 'too short' (min. height 5ft 4) or 'too fat' (max. weight 115lbs) and I'd just be there like "Er... HELLO?"

More recently, something that didn't happen to me but that angered me so much:

Yesterday I went to an Open Evening for the College I want to go to. Basically, as you walked in, one of the students already going there would come over and take you on a guided tour. I walked in, and, just after me followed a girl whose BMI I would estimate to be obese.

There were two boys who spotted us and we watched as they had a hurried conversation, after which we saw them play Rock,Paper,Scissors. The boy who won started grinning and walked over to me, began the tour and said loudly to me, before we were out of earshot "Thank God I got you- if I'd got the Heffalump, I would've died."and then turned round and called to his friend "Unlucky mate!" The other girl had clearly figured out what had happened and had gone extremely red. I called the boy a complete and utter arrogant **** but he just replied saying "And you love it."

It made me so angry that the people who upset others in such a way can get away with it without even feeling guilty. That girl had done nothing to him, but he'd judged and deemed her unworthy of his attention or approval within three seconds of seeing her.. It was awful and the fact that he spoke to me in a completely outgoing and friendly way- as though just because I'm not fat (anymore) I'm somehow more worthy a person than the other girl- repulsed me.

I'm glad he'll have left by the time I start at the College.

It is just a sad cruel world I guess...

Back when I was bigger, I used to ski race competetively.  I was pretty good, and there was one girl who could never quie match my time.  Her reasoning?

"Yeah, well she only beat me cuz she's fat."

From my grandparents at my birthday (we were discussing mine and my sister's racing):

"Well, you girls must have a bit of an advatage since you're so much bigger than the other girls."

And these weren't even when I was overweight!  I was just...soft.

After ED developped:

"Look at your ethiopan legs!  You look like those kids on the commercials!"

Horrible on so many levels.

My grandpa used to say things like "she's a chubby one, isn't she?" to my parents in front of me.  Then, when I'd be hiding in one of the bedrooms during these super fun family get-togethers, he would come in, say nothing, and hand me a king sized chocolate bar.  

It's amazing to see how this topic has grown since my post, but I think if this site isn't about losing weight- It's more dependent on the support from all these wonderful replies. It's depressing, but we should take these comments as productive. Us, as a whole will not fight hate with hate, we can evolve to treat people for their real beauty, that which lays inside us all.

Sure, we all want to lose a few pounds, be healthier, fight disorders/disease, whatever the reasons... we should all be humbled by each persons battle. I feel that, even after my 3 children I have become this side of the scale, I'm glad I could know what I want no one else to experience (as in spiteful words).
