If they're really trying to see what makes you crack, they're assholes, and you need to get away from them and find better people to hang out with.

There's a chance that that isn't really their intention... they could be attempting to be friendly and joke around and not realize how much it hurts you... you might try talking to one of them or gently asking them to back off on the weight jokes...

And as for not hating them but instead feeling sorry for them... that's a sign of incredible emotional maturity... remember, you're in good company with that attitude, many people like Jesus and Gandhi have been the same way.

Who gives a flying fuck!?!? I'm overweight, so are thousands of other people! You seem like a kind and sensitive person from what i read in your post, and if other ppl done appreciate that because you are fat then they are really not worth giving a shit about. Mybe like the previous comment, people are just playfully teasing you and not realising how much it hurts you. If thier not, then just tell them to fuck off! And dont feel you have to insult yourself over it either! I joke about my wieght alot but i never put myself down over it. Your weight does not define you as a person! Ive gotten comfortable with my wieght. I'm sure you will too. Sure i'd like be a bit less fat, but at the end of the day, it doesnt define me as a person and anyone who judges me on it is not worth speaking to.

I knew a guy who did that - he would tell people he was supposed to be twins but he didn't separate, stuff like that. It was such a ridiculous statement, he didn't seem to believe it much (obviously). I wonder if the comments you're making are stuff like that, or if they're more self deprecating. At any rate, if you stop the negative self talk, you'll feel better. So, if you find yourself saying to yourself, "I'm so fat, everyone's going to make jokes today," instead you could say, "I may be overweight, but that doesn't mean I'm a bad person - I can diet, but those people will be jerks forever," etc.

Actually, you're just a pussy. And they are assholes. What this man needs to learn how to do is to be a dick. Or be a mutant pussy with teeth.

If you just go up to an asshole and politely ask him not to call you a name because it bothers you, you're going to be in for a world of shit. It is now officially safe to pick on you. Trust me, I've done this to people my whole life. The only time I stopped picking on a kid in school was when he got annoyed with me and hit me in the jaw. I really respected it. Sure, it didn't really hurt me at all, and I probably could've kicked his ass pretty bad for it. But I respected it.

What this man (or woman) needs to do is quit being such a pussy. If they make a joke about your weight, shoot back with something twice as mean about their hairy mole, hairless head, whatever you can find. I gurantee you can find one for anybody, except maybe your significant other. That's the only person I'm simply incapable of doing that with.

You're never going to be able to avoid befriending, socializing, and working with dicks or assholes. Pussies make the world less interesting.

I'm sorry for the blatant misquoting of a great movie :), but the advice is solid. And this is coming from a dick hated around the world.

hEY GURL, well, first of all fuck all those people who make fun of u for the hell of it. i have been a bit over weight too for a while. Sometimes i feel bad because people do make comments that offend me but i tell them to fuck off because i would rather have some junk in my trunk then being a fuckin' Paris hilton bitch! U FEEL ME?! I understand your sadness but tell those other people just kiss your ass!! Better yet if your a big( so u say) Go fukin beat they ass!!

You know how can solve this problem completely? Go do some exercise and stop eating McDonalds. Im tired of people complaining about the problems associated with being fat and yet their unwilling to do anything about it. I Guarantee you that if you loose weight It'll open up an entirely new world for you and your quality of life will increase ten fold, along with your life span.

Being fat is not fucking normal! Lose some weight, greasy.

According to some sources, 56% of American's Adults are overweight, 35% are obese.

So in reality, being fat is -normal-

Thats still not to say accept yourself as fat. I know how to feels, I used to have a BMI of 40, now its down to 20ish (Im 6'7" 215 pounds)

The trick to make people to stop making fun of you is simple, stop eating so much, exercise, and plan everything out. In america, fast food is just to easy.

Anyway, if that doesnt work, you can always buy a .45 and teach those fucks a lession they soon wont forget.

sorry to hear that, its one of the most common ways to get made fun of. Don't worry about what other people think.

P.S. You can make friends with other overweight people
