Ugh, I'm tired of that too. Hope you're doing well!

I get both. You have a pretty face but you're fat. Why don't you do something about it? Man, if only they knew!

MandaPanda! You nailed this one! If I had a dime for every time I've heard it....

I'm the president of the pretty face club....ugh

Lord we need a club because I've gotten that too. Why oh why can't someone just say "Wow your very pretty". It has to always be "wow you gave a very pretty face". As if nothing else extra on me exists lol.

I had an old lady come up to me randomly and tell me how beautiful I am and how I remind her of her daughter. Sweet right? Yeah, then she goes on to say how her daughter has a weight problem too and did these special shakes and lost over 40 pounds! I laughed because I didn't know how else to react to that. Pretty face club member all the way. Should we get jackets? Members only?

That's terrible! When I was pregnant with my son I was in the drs office and two old women were sitting behind me and were saying it was appalling how much weight women gain these days while pregnant and it was a shame I let myself go while pregnant because I had such a pretty face! I was soooooo uncomfortable in the waiting room that day! ( I did gain almost 100 pounds while pregnant with my son, I had preeclampsia and they didn't finally catch it till a week after I had him)

I to also had that problem my whole life all u comments n replies or exactly what I been through I want a new comment as well u r absolutely gorgeous from head to toe rather all these surgeries n pain I been through to be fit I hope one day I will get notice

I usually reply, " My face is just not pretty. I am from head to toe gorgeous , remember that."

I'm in this gang, too.

Now I've lost 40-odd pounds, they can kiss my ever-decreasing-yes-I-know-I'm-big-but-beautiful/striking/pretty-faced(delete as appropriate)-backside.

Grrr..... :angry:
