What to say when people comment on your weight?

Unless you were in an accident that chopped off your digits, I'll assume you have full use of your hands and fingers. Try raiding your hand in front of your face and slowly extending the middle finger. Repeat as needed.

I am not happy with my nonexistent boobs and butt. It's a HUGE self-concious issue for me...and when people point it out and think it's funny....is not acceptable to me.

Some people are mean and cannot feel good about themselves unless they are belitting others for some perceived fault. The best thing to do is to laugh at them and walk away. Don't say anything mean in return. Just laugh like they've said the funniest thing ever, and walk away, then ignore them. It'll pop their little egos like balloons.

I;m really good at letting others steal my happiness. I'm working on it though.

You shouldn't be.

You really lost from 292 pounds to 154? You may be one of the strongest-willed human beings I have ever had the pleasure to encounter. The thought of losing nearly half your body weight is something I cannot even contemplate. You are an inspiration, and don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise!

You have come to the right place. Snarkasm (snarky + sarcasm) is my thing.

Nice

Thank you so much for noticing.
I have really been working hard
That means a lot to me.


Not so nice - I say stuff like this to friends I can joke with. If you get a black eye from someone, its your own fault

I know right! Boy you aren't getting any skinnier though.
If you wanted to lose those extra 40, I could show you some stuff that I did when I was extremely out of shape.
Pretend to wipe a crumb off of them and say, "I just thought it was time to stop being a slob".
I think the reason I worked so hard is because people are always putting my body shape down.
It was either boobs and butt or heart disease, but you are looking curvy!

This is the best for a comeback! Had me laughing right back!
Some people are just jealous and want to have your body instead of their own. Comments like that should just roll off your shoulder and not make you feel worse. Live your life the way you want and be happy for you.

I would tell them what you said here about BMI. Let them know you could still be x number of pounds lighter and still be healthy. Or tell them your doctor recommended losing some more.

You could also tell them its about being healthy. When you eat right and exercise, weight loss is a side effect and it will eventually stop when your body is in a good balance. You're just letting it do its thing!

Thanks for the suggestions....but I still would like a few snarky ones for the two select people who torment me.

You want more snarky? Ok.

For the boobs and butt comment:

- Yes, they are smaller. I am also working on shrinking my self esteem so keep talking.
- Yes, I have lost weight. I was thinking about plastic surgery, but too bad for you they can't fix "stupid".
- Stop staring at my boobs!

You are too skinny!
- Thanks, I am a lot skinnier. Now maybe I can fit into your unrealistic expectations of beauty.
- Yep. I'm kind of sick of some people so I am trying to disappear, one pound at a time. (I actually say this one a lot).
- Didn't love me when I was fat and now you don't love me skinny? (stare at the ground while saying this and then be silent until they speak. I will make them feel uber awkard)
- I was going to hire a professional to crush my ego, but you have done a great job for free.

Have you been sick!
Ha. No, you can't die from idiot-intolerance, which is why we are still friends.
I have Schnertzenhausen disease. (or some other made up word) then cough.
