My mum is the opposite. She is a diet saboteur. She knows how unhappy I am about my (quite frankly fucking massive) size and she will still turn up with Nice Things, which I can't turn down because I am a greedy fatty.

Anyway, I was out walking with DS1 a few weeks ago, and I got called a fat ginger slapper by some wank-stain in a van. I gave him the middle finger. I would have called him an ugly motherfucker, but DS1 is only 3 and likes to repeat things.

my dad said, when i was 21 and back home for the first time after graduation, to a family friend

'yes we're proud of her. she's got a good degree and a nice boyfriend (now dh), so now she's only got the weight to lose'

my dad is normally a very nice man, but he got a ginormous bollocking

I have reddy-brown hair, which in the right light looks ging

And I am fat, which is why I only have a head shot in my profile

I hate it when people make comments about someones weight. There may be a medcial reason or a pyschological one for weight problems. I know a girl who binge eats and she suffers depression (not saying all depressed people binge eat mind you) and she is a bit overweight (but not huge at all).

Ignore them and tell them to take a look in the mirror cos they aint perfect.

Look ladies - and I'm getting cross - you're all gorgeous. Shake-yer-wotsit - gorgeous, and two beautiful boys - and fabulous red hair! I'm turning all Gok-Wan...............just ignore me.....ignorance and how it can affect people just makes me mad.............but I'll go have another cuppa and sit in a dark room for a while.........I'll be ok.........

Habbibu · 21/01/2008 16:05

Sheik - just looked at your photo, and you are, quite frankly, foxy. You look a bit like a very beautiful friend of mine who was curvy and had a lovely walk and turned heads all the time. Fair enough if you want to get a bit fitter for health, etc, but I'd revel in your good looks nonetheless.

Smee - came late to this - how incredibly rude that stupid git was. Glad you were with an army of death starers.

SheikYerbouti · 21/01/2008 16:59

am not, tis a particularly good photo. I normally look like a bag lady

Habbibu · 21/01/2008 17:00

Unless it's a photo of someone else you're very beautiful. Be told.

saff · 21/01/2008 17:08

when i went to pool with my cm mindee aonce a man shouted look its free willy my mindee then told mum i had a willy so i had the double embaressment of having to explain too! well is most depressing day of year apparently not here though thorntons had half price toffee cake (well would be rude not to)also had man handing out free mince pies in tescos last month he said to me it looked like i had had enough

Peapodlovescuddles · 21/01/2008 17:34

Oh smee I feel for you! People have no idea how hurtful weight comments can be do they? I frequently get told to 'eat a sandwich luv' because I'm quite little (size 4-6) the fact that I try soooo hard to put on any weight AT ALL and would LOVE to be a few sizes bigger doesn't cross their mind!
And its ALWAYS slightly grubby looking, slighty overweight, middle aged blokes or chavvy teenage boys isn't it?

Wisteria · 21/01/2008 18:45

My Grandmother told me I was
"actually obese now, aren't you dear?",

this was repeated many times over the three days I had gone to look after her for(at great personal cost I might add), especially when someone else; neighbours, frends, carers etc were there...

I wouldn't mind but she has never been very svelte herself and I am only a 12 and 5'3

, my dp keeps doing that and it really winds me up....

Yes my face was a picture but on the last day I gave in and asked her to stop it - got home (5 hour drive) and collapsed with a whisky bottle and tissues........wailing in true drama queen fashion - "no one appreciates me!!"

AnneMayesR · 21/01/2008 19:48

Like my mum in law saying to me as we were dressing for my wedding day "whatever are we going to do about those enormous hips of yours. I am 12.

smeeinit · 21/01/2008 19:59

blimey i hadnt realised there are soo many rude fuckers out there!
and shouting from a van!
i had that once whilst walking to the beach at my mum and dads some spoty faced geek in his suped up fiat shouted "fat arse" out the window at me.......like i dont know ive got a fat arse without you shouting it at me!
