Yes, a lot of people jokingly comment when I tell them that I used to be a wrestler in high school. When I tell them the weight I used to wrestle at they look at me and say something to the effect of "well it looks like you'd wrestle at heavyweight now". I just laugh and agree with them.
That is when you say " Well aren't you a ray of sunshine and truth"

Can you remember a time when someone made a comment about your fitness level that enthralled you? Perhaps a comment that alluded to a contrast?

I don't understand the attraction of humiliation. I was humiliated as a child for being skinny, for being a nerd, etc. That wasn't a good time for me.
I understand. For some at least, it has to do with seeing humilation as a clear cut indication of submission. Some people believe that in general, we seek out those who we feel out do us in some way.

In relation to your size, have you been humiliated in a way that drove you nuts?

Drove me nuts in a good or bad way? 😉
perhaps both

I certainly appreciate being humiliated for my weight. Earlier this year, a friend of the family came to me and said , " You've slimmed down from last year you're doing really good" . Last year for the first time, I was chubby/ plump. I clearly had a double chin. I looked well fed. I was embarrassed but it was bitter sweet. I stopped drinking sodas and then I lost 18 pounds. I was near 160lbs at only 5'3 however, I looked somewhat stuffed all of the time.

I know I do. Love teasing and humiliation so having people react to my size is a plus in my book.
I enjoy teasing that points to my size as well. I'm not sure why. When I was an adolescent, I imagined being enormous as people would walk by considering me a slob. I'm very weird I know.

When I was in highschool, I had never imagined that I would actually grow up to be a short fat guy.I had a hidden desire to become very large but I'm glad that that hasn't happened exactly as Imagined because the size that I had in my mind would have made it virtually impossible to go out and do anything.

OhBoyOboy:Totally. But only from women. When men do it they can expect a pretty severe negative reaction.
Ran into woman I knew at a football game, who expressed shock at my weight gain.
"How much have you gained??" she asked.
"Thirty three pounds." I opened my coat to show her and she laughed and said "Looks more like 50!"
Got an email from a woman I used to talk to on line almost every day and whom I hadn't corresponded with in years.
We exchanged pics.
"You're still fat!" she replied.
Loved it, loved it...I could go on but you get the point.
I'm like that as well and if people who I had known in highschool saw me today, they would be surprised because not only did I stop growing at 5'3, but I also continued to grow outward.

Strange question: Do some of the people onbthis site enjoy getting negative reactions to their weight status? I have a friend who confided in me that she enjoys when women make comments under their breath to indicate that they are disgusted by her size.
