    I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about a comment from someone that thinks only fat people need to exercise.

    Some people have some twisted ways of trying to compliment one another!

    You should have shook your fist at him!

    Don't worry about that, Men don't understand how the word "Fat" hurts women. It doesn't affect them the same way. Good for you walking everyday, and I am going to go out on a limb here and say that this guy that told you the comment is probably single, and I bet he wonders why. :)

    I would have responded..."Thank you! And, no matter what anybody says, you're not that dumb, either!"

    That's BS. It hurts me to be called fat, too. Watch your stereotypes.

    Don't worry about it, people usually speak out of ignorance or without thinking.
