What's the worst thing someone said to you?



Recommended Posts

I was out with friends one evening and a man approached me. He said I don't mind your weight I like big girls. I was blown away. First of all I am married and was not looking to hook up secondly, after that who on earth would have gone with such a person?

Also I was working in my flower garned one day when a car of teenagers drove by and one of them yelled hey big butt. I still hate working in the front yard.

reading this thread reminds of things that have been said to me. its great to have a place we can go to talk about these things!

this thread also reminds me of a movie i watched on monday its called "just friends" its a comedy about a boy that was overweight in high school and his best friend was a girl and he had a crush on her, he told her he liked her in her yearbook and it got into the hands of a jock and he humiliated the chubby guy in front of everyone, long story short he moved away lost all the weight, saw the girl again and she wants him! in my opinion he shoulda said.. um i dont think so.. but of course not! ya'll gotta see it, its actually really funny!

My big sister who is "normal size" introduced me to a lady that has been going to the gym where we go. (I hadn't been going lately because of a health issue with my hand) My sister said this is my little sister and that lady who is 5 foot nothing and well over 200 lbs had the audacity to look me up and down and then at my sister and said Yeah Right! I just looked at her and walked away. Then I teared up and my sister came over and I told her that was not pleasant introduction and she said we just have to ignore people like that. Well,I told her just give a few more months and I'll be a statuesque 5'10" very proud woman and she will still be overweight and rude! Why is it acceptable for people to say such hurtful things with no thought of it being rude?

I remember I had to make an appointment for a gall bladder ultrasound for a routine test. Anyway, I called my local hospital to set up the test; and when it came to giving my weight, it was "we can't do your test here, you are over the weight limit our table holds. You have to go to another hospital." They couldn't hold someone that was only FOUR POUNDS over the limit? :rolleyes What really chapped my behind was me wasting ten minutes on the phone only to be told I'd have to call somewhere else! Why didn't they tell me this stuff before wasting my time with the questions? Sheesh.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
