I’m at a theme park with the kids ( we often pop in after school as have season passes and there’s few queues this time of day). An employee just said “congratulations!” to me and looked pointedly at my belly. I’m not pregnant. I’m a size sixteen and must look like i’m Very much pregnant. I just feel like sobbing. I didn’t realise I was so fat. I had been feeling quite slim as had lost a stone. I felt so awful. I told her “oh no, i’m Just terribly fat actually.” And walked off as she tried to back track. Aibu to feel hurt? Isn’t it rude to comment on someone else’s body? Make assumptions about them? I feel awful 😪 I don’t know what I can do to lose weight any quicker.

Op, you are doing well . Don’t let this comment derail your efforts.

Don’t get upset about it OP. It’s well known that you never ask a woman if she’s pregnant, even if the baby is crowning!. Well done on losing weight already, don’t let this comment stop you

Very odd. This is the third thread on this in as many days. Confused

I carry my weight round my middle and have had comments and smiles directed in that area. I'm a 14.
I try to see it that I obviously don't look like a general 'fatty' due to my lean arms, slim legs etc. I reason that I'd rather be seen as generally slim pregnant lady than an all round blob.
It's one way of looking at itGrin
