to want to smack the tw@t who made a very loud comment about my weight as i walked past him in a restaurant???

[smeeinit]

well am i???

because i really could have smacked the ignorant fuck witted poor excuse of a human being! as he made a comment about me being fat as i walked past him in a restaurant,his wife and small children were sitting with him.....what a great example hes setting for them

ok im overweight,im overweight because i have an eating disorder which ive battled with for 20 years.....for all he knew i could be overweight due to illness....what a total prick!

I didn't mean to sound so troll like, but having sat down and started reading the posts with sympathy it flew out of the window by the time the OP and others had been so vile about other people...the comments were by OP...

You go chequers! MircowaveOnly you can tell you never had to deal with a weight problem.

Smeeinit what a wanker. I have had comments when I am out and when I say 'What the fuck did you say?' they hide behind there friends.

I am a size 16 so not massive, I don't understand why people get so mean & its always the men. Tossers.

Don't let anyone put you down kick them in the balls in future.

Sorry for the f-ing and blinding but this subject really gets to me.

i genuinly feel for you microwave as you are obviously so small minded, uneducated and rude that you felt the need to pick up on one comment made on this thread and use it against someone with a mental illness....yes eating disorders are a mental illness.
i sincerly hope you bring your dc's up to respect each and every person as they deserve regardless of your smallmindedness.

Are you sure they didn't mean to write bonny?

When I was about 2 stone bigger than I am now, if I was out shopping with my Mum and she was walking behind me she'd say - loudly - "look at the size of her arse." Often to my DC I remember once I suppose I was late teens my Mum Sisters and I were having a conversation, it must have been body/clothes/size related, and I contributed something, can't remember what now, and Mum flapped a hand at me dismissively and said "oh you, you've always been pear shaped." I was really really hurt.

This thread has had me grinning though.

Sheikyerbouti, that is a bloody great name.

oooh, is summat kicking off?

My granny used to do that to me. Then when I managed to get down to a size 10 she said I needed fattening up. Well now I am. They are never happy.

blimey - this thread has taken a slight nasty turn.

Microwave - at the risk of getting flamed, I think I kind've know what you are trying to say and yes I am sure there are some people who are overweight as a result of just liking food. However, unless you have suffered from an eating disorder that impacts your view of food - you cannot really say whether someone is overweight as a result of an eating disorder or not.

However back to the OP - YANBU at feeling upset by the person who made the comment. I think the world would be a much nicer place if people just kept their thoughts and comments to themselves - be it about weight, height, colour etc etc. And that is also directed to the posters on here thinking name calling to the 'bony wife' is justified.....

At the risk of putting the cat further amongst the pigeons I agree that some of the comments such as "fat, bald twat" were really rather unnecessary but I am still struggling to find the problem with describing someone as bony. Although, I guess there are nicer ways of saying it - underweight I suppose would be less offensve.

A lot of skinny people have said they get just as much flak for being thin as larger people do for being (dare I say it) fat, overweight, whatever. I guess sometimes you just can't win.

Do you know what, unless a person is dangerously obese, which obviously has serious health implications, I think we should all try to be happy with our bodies. That's coming from someone who has body issues, as most of us women do. We should learn to love ourselves for what and who we are and not try to aspire to what we see in other people or in magazines etc. If you're size 8, great, if you've got curves, flaunt them cos curves are attractive you know and most men prefer them!! Let's all embrace our bodies and love them!

God I'm feeling empowered now.

mumypenguin - i have had tons of flak for being too thin in the past, and you know what? it can grind you down...thats why i say. each to their own.

blimey girls, calm down calm down.

Firstly, when we are insulted and hurt we retaliate - hence smees comment about wankers wet waiflike wally wife!!

Secondlyl, i am quite a lot overweight, i never used to be, but now i struggle to keep the weight off. I most certainly do not have an eating disorder, and would never claim to. I like food, but im not a greedy pig either. I certainly have friends who can eat much more and much more unhealthily than i do and are really quite skinny. Some are happy with that, others would rather be able to put weight on. So you could argue that i am genetically predisposed to put on weight (lots of big people in my family) and take that to an extreme that i have a metabolsm disorder.

There are definately people with eating disorders out there, probably made worse by ignorant comments such as, you eat, you get fat - which is blatantly bullshit.

Being overweight bears such a stigma, being skinny doesnt. It seems that in society SKINNY = succesful, happy, interesting, worthwhile, motivated etc

FAT = dull, frumpy, miserable, unintelligent, lazy etc etc

I do think it is more hurtful to call someone fat, simply because of the stigma associated with it.

What i get really fucked off about, is slim people moaning on because they have put on half a stone in weight! The amount of times people say this to me, and i am probably 4 stone heavier than they are - um, dont they get it????

Also - (with the benefit of esprit d'escalier (sp) - you know, where you think of something really clever to say hours afterwards) - you may have responded

"You weren't bothered about me being fat when you were begging me for anal/a blow job/threesome last week"

YANBU

Lucyellensmum - I couldn't have put it better myself. I thought is was just my skinny friends that complained about a pound gain.

@ lucyellensmum ans ilkbo..

Haven't read whole thread which seems to have taken an argumentative segue but to OP

No you are not being unreasonable and here is a funny to cheer you up. My brother was telling about how cricketers like to rile each other - I can't remember their names but a couple of Aussie cricketers were taking the piss out of each other. One said, "why are you so fat?" to which the reply came "because every time I fuck your wife she gives me a donut".

Who cares what those ignorant people in the restuarant thought of you? Fuck em.

pmsl @ georgiemama thats a good one!!

I think the difference here is that the muppet said these insults out loud in a public place with the emphasis on causing as much embarassment to OP as possible.

OP and anyone else's comments about salad eating wife and twunt who made the comment where not done to their faces with the sole intent of embarassing them in front of as many people as possible.

MicrowaveOnly what a nasty nasty thing to say!(your first post aimed at smee)!!!

well put muthahubbard
