Not realizing what she was talking about I went on with my day until a little boy sitting in a cart asked his mother " momma why does that lady have hair like daddy's on her face" I was so mortified. I had no idea at the time why my facial hair was darker than other peoples. I now pluck daily! lol

oh and the weight jokes growing up not only came from strangers but family also. It didnt help that I grew up in a red neck family who fried everything and had buttered bread with every meal. I think my favorite incident was when I was 15 and in my freshmen year of highschool and this girl would find something daily to pick on me about one day I was having a particular horrible day and she asked me "so Erica was it you that cleaned out Krispy Kreme this morning?" very loudly in the middle of my english class, I turned to her and said "No but I heard your mom beat up the ice cream man for running out of fudgesicles yesterday" then proceded to slam her face down into the desk and broke her nose. She didnt make comments to me anymore after that, neither did any of her friends. The suspension was worth it.
LOL that's hilarious!! I would have definitely taken the suspension....

Erica, you go girl! Love it!

I've known and worked with heaps of skinny b*tches over the years that just looove to bang on about how "fat" they are and pull up their shirts to show you a completely fat tummy and grab it and say how fat it is **roll eyes** I got to the point where I wouldn't do the whole "ohhh no, you're not fat" blah blah because they're just attention seekers and I can't be bothered with that crap! lol.

I've had my fair share of crappy comments made to me, mainly from my Mum and my Nana unfortunately. Both of them are weight obsessed. Also one of the best friends said to me a few years ago "well you are fat", I nearly decked him! A-hole!

I had a bloke say to me "ya know I'd do you if you were thin" yeah ok buddy, I would touch you with a barge pole! He was r-e-v-o-l-t-i-n-g.

I've had people see photos of me when I was younger (like 13!) and say "wow look at you there, you had a great body" yep thanks, clearly its pretty awful now hey.

I had a friends brother say to me when I ran into him at a pub years ago "OMG you've got so fat, you need to lose weight, I can help you" (he's a Naturopath) How I didn't punch him in the gob I'll never know, and the stupid thing is he's never been a slim jim!!

And yeah like most of us here I've had many doctors say "you just need to lose weight, you're too fat" without doing ANY tests or checking anything, just make the assumption that because you'e overweight, therefore it's you're own fault and pi$$ off and deal with it.

I've had doctors tell me (first time when I was 19!) to 'just have a baby, that will sort your periods out' WTF?? Even my partner cannot believe how much my weight fluctuates, he's pretty good about it thank god, but I know he would prefer if I was a little slimmer. Doesn't help though when I'm at his place and he's always saying "eat more" **roll eyes**

People really have NO idea what havoc this stupid illness can have on you, I feel like I need to print off the info on it and hand it out to all the ignorant arseholes in the world lol

lol @ shawdow0617 haha too funny!!

Some people just don't get it! I've been overweight all my life and have two sisters that can eat like cows and never gain a pound! So of coarse i've always been considered the "fat one" I always get the, "well at least you're pretty from the neck up" and the occasional "looks like you forgot to wax today...maybe you should get on that." its like thanks a lot jerks, way to be supportive!!!
