    I have a friend who always got told this too. As much as it was meant to be a compliment it really wasn't what she liked to hear, but it did eventually help her kick butt and lose weight!!

    You are a beautiful person, inside and outside don't lose sight of that no matter what others think!

    Take it as a compliment.

    You can fix a body but you can't fix a face.

    People say dumb stuff in an effort to be consoling. Ignore.

    You could always whip around and say to the offender, "Pretty is only skin deep, but stupid and mean go to the bone."

    It is better than what my friends dad told me
    "You got so fat!!! What happened?"
    or my aunt
    "WOW! You have turned into such a woman.. a much larger and curvier woman."
    well, thanks.. yes, I have..

    Or you could be the stupid and mean one saying that to someone giving a genuine compliment.

    You have a face that would stop a train.

    Is that better? I didn't think so. Accept the compliments when they come and stop turning them into phantom insults. And congrats on finishing that race

    I can relate to always being the "pretty fat girl"......That is just not acceptable anymore! It gives me motivation to change that!

    It's awful. But at least I'm smarter than most.
