What if someone call you "fat"?

Hi minhminh, just yesterday I was called fat in the middle of a stream of abuse by a member on here who was subsequently banned. Now that particular insult was rather ludicrous to say the least, directed to someone on line who one has never even clapped eyes on. I certainly didn't feel hurt because I know it was patently untrue, my nice friends in the village are always offering me ten of their own kilos to fatteen me up. But it's funny how pathetic men seem to feel that that would be a womans weak spot and guaranteed to offend.

I am fat. that's life. but I have had five kids and the tummy just doesn't go back to it's original state and all of the fat goes to the same place. People used to ask me if I was pregnant, when I wasn't, but I've lost twenty pounds in the last year so it's not so bad now. no one is perfect and never will be so I say, deal with it! in US that means 'that's just how it is, so accept it.' and I have found that the inside of a person is what matters most!!

i never knew that i was really fat that time, i once went to a fair, which was over crowded and people were not fiting ...kind of pushing each other for their way.there i heard some guys calling me fat..i didn't understood that they meant it for me but afterwards i recognised that yes they were saying fat for me. from that day...i started dieting and making myself fit so that no other time people get chance to say me such things or comment on such topics.

I think that this could be only a joke, if this is a friend and he said me this again, I would never talk to him anymore, that is an insult

I wouldn't worry about it, i'd rather be a little chunky than bone skinny any day, and in fact, i like some chunkiness on my women, fat is sexy sometimes if girls wear the right clothes, and if the clothes are not tight. I think fat girls look sexy in tshirts.

I would thank them, and then would ask when they last had their eyes checked, as I am far from being fat... I should be named anti-fat or something. But I guess if i had some issues with my weight, Id feel bad, but would think over why I am fat (but im not) and what i should do to not be.. you know... fat-ish. Although yeah, I hardly ever call people fat.. and on even rarer occasions I even mean it.. Not even behing their backs, I just don't see the whole fuzz about the weight and stuff. A person is a person - no matter how many days he can survive in a dungeon living on his body fat.

Well I know I would surely not be offended, even if used in a sarcastic way (I'm pretty skinny). We all have our problems, our differences, our bodies, and we should accept them and get over them, no matter what others might say. And by the way, you look great, never would've thought you were a chubby kid :P

It would hurt my feelings but in all honesty i consider myself fat and i know i need to loose weight (dr's say so). Even if it hurt my feelings it really wouldnt be much more than the truth. I'm working however on becoming not fat. Joined weightwatchers last week!

Hey, Well if someone calls me fat, I wouldn't really care that much because I know I'm not fat, and I am far from being fat. I am more in the slim/skinny category, so I won't really care that much. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

My dad told me when I was 14 that I was fat, I was a bit chubby but not huge. It really hurt me and I started starving myself. I gave away my pack lunch at school so I couldn't eat it, I used to go out for runs and do dancing every evening to try and lose the weight. I ended up in hospital after climbing the stairs to our flat and fainting, I'd got so thin that my ribs were sticking out, I looked terrible. Now, I don't care what anyone thinks because after that I felt stupid for letting someone else make me feel bad because of how I looked. I am fat but I'm now lossing the weight because I want to as I could end up with diabetes if I don't.

I used to have that problem with people constantly calling me fat. I was a fat kid, and it really was upsetting. The constant jokes, and teasing. Then I was told that I was supposed to be thin, and I aimed for that. Ended up losing all this weight, but I was always sick and weak. So I ended up lifting weights, and found out that my responded to the weights well... too well. All the weight I had lost trying to be thin, I gained back plus more. When I was 17, I was involved in a car accident. I was 215 at the time, but the stay at the hospital and this 'diet', put me down to 145 When I went to PT, I suddenly just exploded and shot up to 250, but packing muscle, but never stopped growing. I am still heavy, but it is not all fat. Most of it is actually muscle. I am not shy that I am 335 pounds (and still bulking up). Not many people know I weigh that much. What they do know is that I have a monster appetite because I am always eating something, or when I go grocery shopping, I buy so much food for myself. People also have seen how much strength I have like leg pressing a car, or pushing a SUV, or lift something heavy ( I love moving heavy stuff). Where people used to tease me because I was so fat, now people wonder if I am a linebacker, or weightlifter, or bodybuilder. I'm still getting over the idea of how big I really am, after seeing myself in the mirror next to another person. I am HUGE!!! Some wonder how I can eat so much food at once, but lift heavy stuff for 8-10 hours straight, and it's easy for me to have a five person appetite. I am careful about this, and I feel for those that struggle. I never criticize anyone about their weight because I had them and I still have some.

i don't think i get myself worried about that, sometimes i do remind some skinner people here how often they fall sick when they always think they are healthier than people of extra weight, i do some exercises though and i thank God that i don't fall sick often , what about skinny people who fall sick all the time

I would, in fact, be happy! Yes, you read that right. I've been stick thin all my life (blame my metabolism) so someone calling me fat would be a huge relief (like I'm finally eating more than my metabolism could handle. LOL). I guess it's weird. Most people would not be okay with anyone calling them fat. But as for me, I'd be totally cool with that. :)

I won't get offended if somebody calls me Fat, Minhminh. If you are really fat, then you must accept the truth and realize our personality. If you don't want to be called fat then shed some weight and develop those muscles. We must be proud that we're fat because we worked hard for it to have that 'humongous' body. Sometimes fat people are ashamed to be called fat. Nothing is wrong for being fat as long as people believe in your capacity as a unique individual.

hello. At some points id feel sad because I am fat. But honestly, I am not really made of fats. I am made of muscles and its kind of difficult really to streamline them. I came from a farmer's household and we have to work to eat. At an early age, we were subjected to hard labor like trying to lift sacks of rice or grain and its really difficult. But we didn't have any choice. No one would do it but us. I developed more muscles than fats. When I was able to earn money to enrol in Karatedo class, it was good. But I just wonder I never lost any weight. It just shaped my muscles at the feet, arms and stomach. I think, having muscles is even thougher than having fats. I am not also an avid eater of everything. I enjoy vegetables so much that I feel brainless when in 2 or 3 days there's no vegetable in the meals. But then, God said, I am fearfully and wonderfully made in His image, and that makes me comfortable and satisfied. Good day.

Oh I indeed have few extra pounds so I know what you are talking about......it is indeed very heart breaking experience to listen to someone call you that one word "FAT" I still manage to laugh it over but then somewhere down in my heart I do feel bad about it......I tried working out but not for long, I have now indeed lost some weight but still I have a long way to go......and yes it does make you loose some confidence, you tend to pull your tummy in when a beautiful girl passes by or when she is talking to you face to face......lolzzz.......but still I am now fine with it......I just hope I reach the optimum weight soon !!!! TC !!!!

Oooouuuch! That would really hurt. I have been called a lot of times. Since I left work, I have become neglectful of how much I weigh. And because of sedentary life, I less exert effort on my movements, I have gained a few pounds. It hurts of course. I have made a conscious effort on being mindful of what I eat and not to eat so much carbo. Since I am already "mature", it all the more difficult to lose those unwanted pounds because of slow metabolism.

This can be taken both seriously or depending upon the body mass index. Some people regard it as a joke others would be offended, but my reaction would still be based on how they regard me as a friend not on size but with the needing.

sometime i feel shy if i know i'm fat. i have problem at my stomach. hmm, now i dont mind about my body. in my mind, the important thing is i'm health, not sick ^.^

If someone call me "fat", I will not angry. Yes, even I am fat, but I like it. If I don't like fat, I will try to do some exercise to lose my weight. Just take it easy!
