I bet Hitler deserves to be treated that way.

Why do people keep saying some variation of "YDI for being fat." First, just because the bf called her fat once doesn't mean she's actually overweight. Some people say that just bc they know how much it can hurt someone's feelings. She could be a size 6 ! And most importantly, people deserve respect no matter what their size. I doubt it was necessary for OP's boyfriend to insult it not to mention being too much of a wuss to end it to her (alert!) face!

You are the one good soul in the entire comments of the history of FML.com. Congratulations, you have also made my day. Keep being a good person.

theres always a reason for saying something to someone. if she wasnt really fat, then her bf would never have even thought of writing that..so in conclusion...she must be pretty large.

^ not really true. i mean, if i called you a twat... you are not literally a ******, are you? you might even be male, so sometimes it's more about what will hurt them the most rather than the more accurate.

dang... ur taking this too seriously... r u a size too big for ur height or something... i see ur claws.. lol didnt mean to poke at ur sensitive side... with all sincerity.. i apologize =]

and btw..if u called me a twat.. it wouldnt hurt.

That's not true at all...a lot of really small women struggle with low self-esteem and though they are not overweight at all, weight can still trigger something really upsetting. She probably isn't fat, and he's probably a huge ******* asshole.

So, becka, I received your random message saying "It's okay if you're fat because you're pretty", which by the way, was completely unsolicited...I don't know whether to be epically insulted or epically pleased. I'm so glad I have your approval. /sarcasm. You are way too judgmental regarding weight. Someone can be the most amazing person in the world, but you would never know it, because you're too busy focusing on their weight to recognize anything else. I understand that when you meet someone for the first time, it's obvious and hard to distract yourself from said obvious, but honestly girl, it's really not important. Some people have problems that make it extremely difficult to control their weight...I found out today that it's very likely I have polycystic ovarian syndrome, which directly affects obesity and makes it hard to lose weight. If the tests prove accurate, everyone that ever tortured me for being fat, were doing so because of a hormone imbalance and cysts in my ovaries that I can't control. So seriously...I know that someone being fat is like the "elephant in the room everyone is trying to ignore", but really, it's not that important in regards to real-life social interactions and the quality of friend/relationships. @OP: No matter how cliche it is, it's true: somebody out there is going to love you for YOU, and never doubt yourself because of what asshole people think. I know it hurts, but he did you a favor, and you're so so much better off without this kind of trash in your life. While he may have closed that door between you (or, erm, slammed it), you have an infinite amount now opened to you. Good riddance to bad rubbish, good luck and LOVE YOURSELF!

dang... everyones so feisty. grrr~ @cjammer: wasn't trying to insult you. For some reason, you have a hard time taking compliments. Be more optimisitc! Not everyone that tells you that you look pretty is being sarcastic. Anyway. Being overweight is something you can control. I know tons of people who lost ALOT of weight by changing their diet, working out, and etc. There are tons of people on Youtube that keep vlog diaries on their journey, and you see them shrink.. Blaming your obesity (Cjammer, I'm talking to everyone in general, not to you directly..dont get insulted again please

Actually, I'm very accepting of compliments...just not when they're laced with an absolutely unnecessary implied insult. "You're pretty, even though you're fat." Because one has *any* bearing on the other. For some reason, you're very ignorant. Way to assume I thought you were being sarcastic. I knew you were being genuine, but wow on the way you said it. Brain to mouth filter, please. And yes, lots of people can control their weight. And they don't. But lots of people are TRYING to control their weight, and can't. Clearly you missed the part where I said sometimes medical conditions take the weight issue almost completely out of your hands. Who are you to decide who can fix it, and who can't? Basically, what I'm asking you to do, is not to judge people on first glance. OP does not specify whether it's a medical issue, or a lazing issue, or even if she's fat at all. So to assume she does nothing about it, or even that she CAN do something about it, is incredibly naive. People like you see me at first glance and say, oh, you're fat, you do nothing for your weight. Are they at home with me, working out? Are they tracking my blog and my calorie intake on livestrong.com? No. So again, I stand by what I said the first time...don't be so skin-deep, and don't think somebody's character is reflected by their appearance.

awww, thank you pendatic =] That was on my birthday in December 09, and it was the first time in 22 years, in my opinion, that I've ever had a photo THAT close to perfection...so I definitely appreciate the acknowledgement!

Becca, being overweight is not always something you can control. As someone already mentioned, people who are seen as 'overweight' could have a specific type of disibility which prevents them from losing weight. I was a recovering bulimic not that long ago, just getting my weight back up, when someone decided it would be funny to say that I was so fat they couldn't see the goalposts behind me during a game of football in gym. I'm a size 10 atm, losing weight again, because of stupid, careless comments like that. My friends, family, and GP are currently trying to convince me that I'm not overweight, but because of stupid, idiotic skinny girls, who will never know what it feels like to feel fat, I will always feel inclined to lose more, and more weight. My friends only clicked that something was wrong when I carelessly commented that I didn't care how I died; aslong as I was skinny when it happened. OP, Please, don't let yourself fall into my situation. I was given a lot of shit about my weight, just because I wasn't a size 0, and skinny like the rest of them. Now, I have no self confidence, and I'm fighting a losing battle. I always promised my friends that I'd never let it go as far as this, but it's happened, and I'm not getting out of it so easily. I only hope that his stupid comments haven't forced you to go to an extreme like anorexia or bulimia. Ignore everyone else saying YDI, because you really don't. Likely story is, they've never been overweight, they've always been skinny. :[
