When I was younger that would have hurt my feelings, right now, I will bother me but not enough to run and start a diet.
Will I say something to the person telling me I am so fat and to lose weight?
Nah and it be better be a doctor to tell me so

I am appalled that people think it is okay to comment about a person's weight. Obesity is a health problem, just like any other health issue, and there are many reasons for it. If it was easy to lose the weight, the overweight person would have lost it. How dare people feel that they have the right to judge! To someone who says that, the reply should be, "You are so rude and you should go to a mental health specialist." Perhaps that would shut them up.

i hope that you will be with people who will not talk about much how fat you are. i will surely get hurt. i am fat too now. and my family keeps telling me to lose weight cause i am not used to be fat. but because i was staying more than before. and i can't go out cause of my responsibility at home involves staying the whole time at home. and to defeat boredom and anxiety and depression cause by not able to do what i would like to do. not i do blame them. cause i don't have much things to do at home. and i don't have any one to text and call to make me feel happy. i find comfort in food during those times. and so that explains why i am fat now. but not yet obese, but still i get worried. and of course i want also to be in normal share as before. i am trying to . it is not easy process. i think that every step and every effort in dong so will help a lot and is worth it. though i don't see the effects instantly. but i am sure going to be there. i am trying to modify the foods i am taking in. i don't think eating only vegetables will do fastest way to slim down. though it is one part of it. but i should limit also my food intake though it is only vegetables specially if i don't have much activities to burn those calories i eat. i rather eat normally but with healthy foods. than to starve my self to slim down. cause i think that starving myself will make me look dry and unhealthy. but eating your way to lose weight by vegetables on right amount will surely lose me weight gradually without me looking dry and tired.

I have not had anyone say I'm fat and you should lose weight in along time. I do know people,especialy friends and family, do it behind my back! I don't talk to them about it. They would not understand and when I was in school I was bugged alot to lose weight! I never forgot that! I know I should loss weight! It isn't easy and I can't keep off the weight when I do loss some! I've had this problem all my life and I never have been comfortable at any weight! I have low self-esteem because of this! I know what you are going through and it sinks! Unless the person who's saying those words has been there they don't know anything!

I always work on my health eat right to be healthy. I gained weight when i had 4 kids very close to eachother. I feel if a perosn i meet is going to not give me the time of day because of my outside its there loss. I have lost a bit of weight so far and the smae people suddenly want to hang out. To me they arent worth my time. I like people that get to know the inside of others not just judge by the outside. Try not to let people like that get you down. You sound like a nice person to know so it is there loss.

Well Im pretty skinny so I have never had anyone say that to me in a nonjokingly way. But u shouldnt let that kind of stuff get to you. If they are so ignorant that theyare gonna judge you on your physical appearance than they arent really worth your time anyways. I have been made fun of for a lot of other things and I never really care because the way I see it if they dont like me then their opinion doesnt matter anyways cuz they are just stupid. Just be yourself.

Yes, I would be hurt. But if thinking about it from a different angle, that would be better. He says "you are so fat", which means he concerns you and your health, and he does not lie. Maybe just it's not expressed well. So it is not as good as taking it as goodwill that taking it as jeer. If that happened to me, I would say "haha, I eat very well lately" . Just take it easy, you can!

I have the opposite situation. I get upset when people tell me I have lost weight. I try hard to put on weight but it is very hard for me. One thing for sure, I am not as light as I use to be before children. I was a walking skeleton before kids and had trouble putting on weight. When I had kids, I put on weight. I had a good healthy weight until I had a very stressful 6 months and lost a lot of weight. I am struggling to put back on the weight.
All I say to these people who say that I have lost weight, "I'm trying hard to put it on." I then leave it at that.
But for you, you have had a baby. Having a baby can change life styles. It can be hard at times to reach your targets. Just take small steps and stay positive.

I know what she means, when i am happy i stay at a good weight but when i get stressed out i have trouble eating and i lose weight fast, then people say things like im pathetic or have an eating disorder and it makes me feel pretty bad and then i force myself to eat so i can gain it back. but i dont gain it easily, it takes way more time than it does to lose it. i just take it a little at a time and tell myself that i can make it happen, and it doesnt matter what ignorant people say. it doesnt take all of the sting out of what people say, but being positive can help.

I avoid letting it get to me, I mean, at the end of the day, I've always thought of people who say them kinds of things to be insecure about a part of themselves, and so are trying to weigh all of their insecurities on me. It hurts, but I don't let it bring me down.

Hi , You get rude comments because you are over weight , and I get rude comments for being under weight . The stupid comments bug me just as much as they do you.
Friends , or soo called friends will say things to me about being as thin as I am and not think anything of it . If I made the same comments about them being over weight, they would sure enough get upset . I can't lower myself to be like them . Anyone who has to make someone else look bad , to make themselves look better isn't a friend , and isn't someone I want to be around .
Anywho I know how you feel. I get the same rude comments for being skinny.
I don't think people will ever stop judging others. I say we just do the best with what we have , and be the best person we can be , and tell them to
go blow it out their ear! haha!!

Hi! can I join the conversation? As for me I am really fat.And it doesn't bother me if people says that I am.It's true and I don't care..really...with no offense meant here..I love the way I am now and I can stand it..You have to love and appreciate yourself first before anybody does. And besides we can't please anybody. Even the skinniest girl alive can get those rude comments...I guess the best way in for ever eliminating those rude comments is to let those comments slip by..Learn to accept that not all human beings are perfect there are flaws everywhere..don't feel unhappy instead go out and don't be shy..that's what you are and they have to accept it if they don't then fine..=)

Maybe instead of feeling hurt you should rather be encouraged to do something to get rid of the excess weight. Exercising is a very effective way. I don't take it an excuse that I am born fat and even if I don't eat much I really am bound to be plump. No! Anyone who has the will could always shed pounds no matter what. So go my dear, start exercising and dieting and see if you will not achieve the whistle-bait figure those people who normally tease you will admire and envy.
I love it when people would mind and say "Hey you seem to be gaining weight these day" That remark is one big push for me to watch my diet and go on vigorous exercise so that I could go back to my normal weight.

That was my problem last year 2006 and 2007. I even cried because one guy shouted " "your fat!" in front of many people. Although i tried to control my tears , it just went uncontrollable because i am so hurt. thats the time i started to feel so depressed that i even tried many different ways to lose weight easily in a short period of time to show to them that " yes its me now and im slimmer". but it didnt happen that way.
I lose weight third quarter of 2007 and finally i am back in nice shape 2008 and present. i am happy with my body now but i dont need to show to them that yes its me now. I think the criticisms helps to make me more motivated in achieving my goal. Yes it hurts a lot, but i dont need to feel the pain anymore. I am happy with how i am now and i am helping other fat girls to be healthy too. Right now i am joining group of people and we do aerobic classes every saturday. Its always good.
Happy mylotting!

I'm happy for you that you lost the weight, but that person was just plain mean. See my response below.

Well if someone will say such words to me I will laugh at him because I am not fat.
If I would have been fat then I will tell him that "I will ask him why is he or she saying me such a thing? Is that person interested in me?" If it is friendly word then you should request your friends to remind me about it every time you eat something.
