... A bit upset to be referred to, by a 3rd party, as 'huge'?

IamtheDevilsAvocado · 11/10/2017 10:21

Just this....

Someone referred to me as this... You'll recognise her.. She's the huge girl...

Apart from rudeness... At what size does someone become 'huge'.. I appreciate it's all relative etc etx...

PS I'm an (in proportion) size 18-20 and 5 foot 8. So to me tallish and curvy...

OP posts:
BlondeB83 · 18/10/2017 22:24

10-12 normal
14 - curvy
16 - larger girl
18+ obese
IMO

No point dressing it up.

RickOShay · 18/10/2017 22:26

And......?

BlondeB83 · 18/10/2017 22:28

And nothing, just how I see it. Huge is hurtful but no point saying size 18-20 isn't very large, it is. Not that it needs to be said at all.

QuackPorridgeBacon · 18/10/2017 23:31

Exactly Blonde it doesn’t need to be said but why deny and try and class yourself as curvy when you clearly aren’t?

Pyjamasplease · 18/10/2017 23:48

But the reality is this is not how the people in the world think it’s a shame of course it is but it’s something that can be changed !
If your unhappy make a change ??
IMO being that over weight is a lifestyle choice!

Pyjamasplease · 18/10/2017 23:50

If you was not morbidly obese then you wouldn’t be seen as the huge one right ? I’m known as the blonde one or the English one lol! It’s how the world sees you and if you want the world to see you differently to how you want to be seen then change it if not .... don’t ?

MrsOverTheRoad · 18/10/2017 23:58

Pyjamas not only are your posts barely readable due to spelling errors and grammatical liberties, you also sound terribly judgemental.

Lol!

Hmm

Is being anorexic a lifestyle choice according to you too?

Pyjamasplease · 19/10/2017 00:05

Oh give it a rest I’m sick of hearing over weight people complaining

berni140 · 19/10/2017 00:05

Yanbu. And I don't understand why so many people are commenting on how you describe yourself when you were asking about the word 'huge.' Unnecessary.

Pyjamasplease · 19/10/2017 00:30

My spelling lol it’s a bloody forum not a report
I’m at home not at work lol

WitchesHatRim · 19/10/2017 00:34

Oh give it a rest I’m sick of hearing over weight people complaining

I'm not overweight.

MyDcAreMarvel · 19/10/2017 00:35

With all the lolling I doubt you are old enough for paid employment.

Telstar99 · 19/10/2017 00:45

@Pyjamasplease why the feck SHOULDN'T overweight people complain about people saying nasty things and insulting them?! Hmm

You sound like a judgemental arrogant oik!

MrsOverTheRoad · 19/10/2017 01:41

Pyjamas No...you just carry on! Everyone with a brain is discounting all you say because you're illiterate. You're just adding shit to the shit each time you post! Grin

Fantasticday69 · 19/10/2017 05:36

OK maybe op is obese. But no way is she morbidly obese pyjamas Even so she does not deserve to be referred to as huge.
Certainly there is nothing on this thread to lol about.
In my teenage years I watched my sister nearly starve herself to death. I saw the impact this had on my mum. And all of this was largely because some tosser at work told her she was fat.
She is now according to the helpful chart a normal weight but o my the damage has been done to her body.
Strangely her cholesterol is worse than mine largely due to her awful diet despite me being obese and working on it.

RickOShay · 19/10/2017 07:14

How is being 5’ 8’ a lifestyle choice?
If the op was 5’ 4’ would she still have been described as huge?

NewDaddie · 19/10/2017 09:25

YABU

IRL there is no MNHQ to filter out the rude or unkind words and the only person you can change is yourself.

Lose weight or develop a more resilient attitude.

Ollivander84 · 19/10/2017 09:29

I would rather be seen as the "kind/funny/caring/helpful" one than judged by how "huge" I am or how tall I happened to grow

I can't change mine. I am resilient. It doesn't stop it hurting.

I shouldn't have to be even 'more resilient' just because some idiot thinks it's ok to be abusive.

Pyjamasplease · 19/10/2017 09:33

So because I can’t be bothered to spell or use punctuation I’m illiterate? You do know what illiterate means? Oh lord give me stength!
You seem to understand my post pretty well for me being illiterate.Wink I have an opinion.
Iv been a bigger girl much much bigger and instead of get upset with every comment,or post about my weight or distress I don’t something about it. If your happy being fat then so what good for you. If your not you can change. I have a big friend she’s knows she’s obese she Moans about it a lot! So I tell her to make lifestyle changes.
Eat healthier
Exercise more
Get support
But instead she continues to indulge. That does not gain my sympathy. I’m off this thread now so carry on ripping into each other have fun ladies. Typical female thread! Yuk

Ollivander84 · 19/10/2017 09:34

But if you
Eat healthier
Exercise more
It doesn't fall off overnight. So in the meantime try to be kind?
I eat well, and probably a lot less than most people and exercise but am still a size 14/16. I'm definitely not huge but I am 5ft 10 so I'm tall (but not much I can do about that)

Pyjamasplease · 19/10/2017 09:35

Shit just realised my typo errors Grin knock yourself out girls Halo

Pyjamasplease · 19/10/2017 09:36

No it takes commitment like most things in life Hmm there is always an exscuse!
Trust me I made millions of exscuses before I took the step. Good luck

Ollivander84 · 19/10/2017 09:38

What I'm saying is someone may have lost weight already. But calling them huge in the meantime doesn't help
