OP now knows why school and work related commitments are priority.

Yes, this can be extremely rude depending on how they intended for it to come off. As just plain insults or health concerns? Diabetes and obesity run through my family fairly heavily so If I were to gain ten points or so my family would certainly point it out. not to be mean but out of misguided love :)

I've been there. The whole oh my you have a bum, oh look your.cousin is smaller than you now blah blah I look like a tellytubbie.. all I could say was "this ass n these hips, money well spent bitches" suck it.

Since when is talking about how fat you are a bad thing, if you know you're fat then why do you care, and if you are fat lose some weight, it really DOES help in the long run

Or when the only complements people come up with is "Did you lose weight? Congratulations!" And every time they see you it is the same thing.

Honestly, so many people I know (mine included) have families that seem to make it their main prerogative to comment on things they shouldn't whole hiding under the "well we're you're FAMILY!!!!" umbrella. Let me tell you, fake shielding or not, it's not their place to say shitty things like that to you, OP. And as long as you're happy and healthy for yourself and comfortable in your skin, they can screw off on making comments like that. Hope you feel better OP.

My favorite response to when somebody calls me fat is to jiggle my stomach or slap my belly and say "Thanks for noticing, I've been working real hard on it."

FYL. My mom passed away due to OD and the family all came together, and I spent an hour listening to how fat I was and how I needed to grow up. When I was the one taking care of her and her unemployed lazy self. Family sucks.

You and me both.
