For me it's always "you carry your weight well." But say it back and you're pretty much the rudest person in the world.

    "you're beautiful, for a big girl" ...a variation of "such a pretty face"...but that was only said to me once.

    "You look so great, I didn't recognize you!" lol at least the girl was drunk when she said it. I was like "Umm, thanks."

    You always look nice because you dress for your weight.

    You have a great shape for a big girl.

    Then she was annoyed that I didn't profusely thank her.

    I second the pregnant comment. Someone asked when I was due.

    How about "I'm amazed at how you can do that with your size."
    What do people expect?

    Whenever I tell people how much I weigh (which isn't much) it is typically followed by "Wow I would never have guess you weighed that much!"

    Im not sure if this is an insult yet I somehow always feel insulted when its said to me. "you look amazing for a mother of 6" (not sure what to make of it) also when told I was a mother of 6 the lady said "but you're so beautiful" wtf?

    years ago, I lost about 40 pounds with Weight Watchers. A male co-worker was suggesting something for me "since I had a weight problem and all".....WTF? I lost 40 pounds! And I had a healthy BMI! That made me feel like that year of hard work was pointless.

    I had my Coast Guard foul weather jacket on, and it had my last name stenciled in big letters across the back... I walked into an Enlisted Mans club and there was a comedian on stage doing his act... as I passed the stage and headed to the back where the bar was he said over the microphone "Hey, you misspelled GOODYEAR"

    It hurt... but cracked me up also... gotta admire wit even if you are the victim :mad:
