    "You'd look really good if your *kitten* wasn't so big" Source of such niceness? My darling husband. Pitiful part is I really, really believed him and I only weighed 125 pounds. Pitiful. And the worst part is I am still married to the jerk.

    "I have a box of old clothes in the garage that are too big for me now. I bet they'd look great on you; you should go take a look!"

    No mom, I don't want your fat clothes.

    OMG, I have had that same thing about the clothes too big for me but from a so called friend! They may mean well, but it's like thanks but no thanks.

    And winner of the back handed compliment that I bet most of us gals have heard is "You have such a pretty face!"

    That's all for now!

    From my mom just this week: You looked really skinny today. That woman standing next to you on the hill was so fat, she'd make anybody look thin.

    A co-worker the other day told me I had lost a ton of weight. Thanks for noticing THE 55 POUNDS lost. That however does not equal a ton...

    Do we have the same mother?!

    Last week she said to me, in front of a bunch of my parent-friends at my kids school production "oh you've cut and dyed your hair again. It was nice when it was longer and dark."
