    My verbal response is either "No *kitten*", "Thank you, Captain Obvious", or "Uh huh".

    It's funny how the "fit" people try to give a logical response... Being overweight doesn't give anyone the right to insult you. Unless they're a medical professional, what's it to them? The problem doesn't "lie within you" if you get offended. The problem is with that person and their mother/parent/gaurdian, who should have taught them how to respectfully talk to people.

    I have always found this hilarious. And I am fat so I feel I can honestly say for myself...it's accurate.

    My response depends on the persons age....

    A child... I just explain how it isn't nice to comment on a persons size, color, or they way people look. I just assume that they weren't taught that at home.

    An adult... I sarcastically tell them " Aren't you a GREAT friend! I obviously had no idea!" Then I just walk away smiling, because they usually never know what to say...lol

    Is my way the perfect way to handle the situation? Probably not, but it makes me feel better.

    I would say "Really? I had no idea. With all the commercials and TV shows telling people they are fat and overweight, I didn't put it together until you told me. Thank you."

    It is a falacy to assume that a "fit" person was always a "fit" person. I suppose most would consider me fit. Although, 25 lbs of fat ago that was not the case. And when I got called fat then, my answer was generally "yep, I am." It is not an insult, it is a factual observation. Don't like it? Change the reality of it.

    About three years ago, I started writing a blog for plus sized horseback riders and called it "A Fat Girl & A Fat Horse" -- because, well, both my horse and I, at the time, and still currently are fat. It is basically about not putting things off "until you're skinny" and living your life regardless - it was about the same time that I took the negativity and emotion away from the word "fat" in my dictionary. Some of my friends were upset that I described myself using that word... but fat is a descriptor, just like tall, or blonde, or short. Some people may try to attach negative connotations, but really - that's about them, not about me. Out of respect for my readership who might be more sensitive about the "F" word, I do use "plus sized" instead of fat to describe them.

    So my typical response is "So? You're tall."
