I feeling really really bad about my body right now.

[lightyears]

I worked a weekend shift at my per diem job. I haven't been there in a few months. At least four people told me I looked fat or asked if I was pregnant.

I want to cry. We're going to some party for my H's dads friend and I want to just shrivel up and cry.

Dude. Who are these people you work with?

Fuck them.


Sent from my iPhone using the crappy ProBoards app

[lightyears]

And this should say "I'm" but the app is awful.

[rex]

Those people are assholes. Seriously.

[julesf84]

WTF? Who the hell are these people and why do they think they have any right to say anything like that? Sounds like a bunch of assholes to me.

[lightyears]

I've definitely gained weight. Probably 15 pounds.

But I just tried on 30 thousand things and felt ugly in everything.

[midnightrae]

Aww, I'm sorry. People can be so rude sometimes.

[melindafelinda]

Maybe they are old school and meant phat.

[mamasaurus]

DICKS. Anybody old enough to have a job is old enough to know not to ask a woman if she's pregnant if they aren't sure.

You're a fox. Based on the most recent PIP I can remember, you could keep on gaining and still be a fox. Even if you did get fat, you can lose weight but they will always be clueless assholes.

I don't understand how four people would have done this in one day.

[Deleted]

I have had people ask me if I'm pregnant because I tend to bloat really bad in my tummy. People suck.

[bananapancakes]

People suck, you are not fat. You are gorgeous!

[juliagoulia]

Well fuck those assholes.

15 lbs is not some astronomical weight gain. I get that it can look like more or less depending on your body type (for example; it looks like more on me with a short torso) but noteworthy? No.

I'm sorry you feel crappy now

[glassofsyrah]

I am sorry those people were assholes. You look like you are gorgeous, if your avatar is any indication. Ok, here is my best solution when I have those bad days... wear all black, do your hair and make-up super fancy and then have a glass of wine before going out. I have those days often and this is my best way to cope. :drink: :beer: :drink:

[LeggsBenedict]

I'm sorry

I get you. My grandma introduced herself to me the last time I saw her. The only thing that changed was my weight.

[flipflopsandwine]

Assholes.

[Deleted]

Seriously. You are amazing looking. Absolutely gorgeous and stunning

[messykitchen]

Ugh. It has happened to me as well. After I had been on steroids and had gained weight. I felt so disgusting, and I have never been able to wear that outfit again. I totally feel you.

You look stunning in your avatar! People are just fucking stupid.

[Deleted]

What the fuck! Who says that to someone? Four people? In four separate conversations? Or just, like, four people chiming into one (still horrible, but I guess a little less remarkable).

You look really thin in your avatar photo. Did they mean it in a flattering way? I mean, I know it never is, but maybe they thought they were complimenting you?

[janegold]

First, you are gorgeous and definitely not fat.

Second, I cannot believe people would be so awful as to make a comment. The pregnant comments I can at least pass off as people just being stupid. But some people actually said you looked like you gained weight?? Please tell us more about these people; I just can't fathom what kind of person would do this.

[Deleted]

What kind of work do you do? That's so bizarre.

I am always confused by these incidents. I am fat and nobody has called me fat since high school, or asked me if I was pregnant. Even when I WAS pregnant!

[DotAndBuzz]

Jerks. All of them.

I have no idea why people think it is EVER ok to comment on weight gain. For any reason. Ever.

Does not compute.


Do not let this get to you. You're beautiful. Go and enjoy the party and screw those jerks.

[LeggsBenedict]

As someone who has had a coworker say, "what happened to you? You used to be so skinny." I can tell you what kind of people say stuff like that. Shitty shitty horrible people.

[shoeless]

You are GORGEOUS! Fuck them!!!!!

My sister said the exact same thing to me

But I've known for about 30 years she can be an asshole at times.

[flipflopsandwine]

One time when Clayton was about 5 months old H's aunt said I looked pregnant again. But she is from a non English speaking country...... Soooo I let it slide.

Most people have no excuse.

[Deleted]

So four different people you work with came up to you and told you that you look fat and/or pregnant today? WTF? Were you wearing some special scrubs or something?

Lol.i have no idea. The first question was "are you pregnant?"

The next was "you've clearly been enjoying your cooking too much"

Then another pregnancy question.

Then, "you look.....a little swollen"

[LeggsBenedict]

Jesus. What a bunch of dickbags.
