any good comebacks for rude remarks on being fat

My favorite is:  Alll the better to sit on you my dear.

(I have grey hair and I say it like wolf pretending to be granny in Little Red Riding Hood).

whats up fattys  and skinnys 

ok were not the same person

My all time favourite, and I've used it with much success:

I can lose weight, but what are you going to do about your face?

:D  nymo! good one.

clairelaine, very good point.

well if you cant tell by my picture i usually just shoot a kamehameha at them and obliterate them.

#1 comeback for someone making rude remarks that you are fat:

 Come back slimmer.  Then comment on how THEY could lose a few lbs, in front of some other people.  hehehe thats the ticket

Anyone ever seen Supersize Me?  Great movie!  You'll never want to touch McDonald's again, promise!  There's a part in the movie where he talks about how it has become acceptable to rudely confront a smoker about their nasty habit, but not yet socially acceptable to point out the health hazards of obesity.  It's actually kind of an interesting point.  Obesity is equally, if not more, hazardous to your health and we all know it, but we are socially conditioned not to say anything about it.  Perhaps if we were as vigilant about health and obesity as we are about smoking, people would become more aware of the harm they are doing to their bodies.  Just a thought.

Derrick, or should i say Super sayian vegeta you go! hehe

i may be fat but you're ugly and i can diet is one i saw once on a t-shirt

here's a question too:  does anyone here REALLY believe that a good comeback is going to change the mind of the rude person.. that saying something in return is going to shame that person?  if they are rude enough to make those comments.. then they obviously don't care if they hurt feelings.. a good comeback isn't going to change much.. what's better is to walk away knowing that you are the better person for not having resorted to their rude behavior

raehn-  contrary to what you are wondering, as a fat person myself.. and having been fat all of my life.. people do NOT have a problem going around telling fat people that they are bad people.. that they need to lose weight.. people who are concerned with other's smoking usually tell them in a postive way that they should quit.. when someone's fat.. most people (who aren't fat) feel it's up to them to make the fat person change their behavior.. and most of the time they feel that shame is the only way to make them toe the line.. let me tell you.. it never worked for me.. and it doesn't work for anyone.. calling names and telling people they shouldn't be allowed to live because they are fat.. is NOT helpful!  AND.. i don't know ONE fat person who actually thinks what they are doing is healthful.. they might be in denial about how bad they've gotten.. but deep in their hearts they know it's not good

yeah well im in highschool(freshman) and these jerks always make fun of me even though  another kid in my class helps them(and he is bigger than me). so i need advice. also i have been picked on my whole life and it actually got so pathetic to where when i was in 2nd grade i used to get happey about getting my hair cut or a new book bag so no1 would notice it was me from behind or in a crowd.

People who judge you for any reason do not define you, they define themselves

im sure it's been posted about but normally it goes something like this..."and?" or "your point is?" or "yup!" lol i never really like the fact that im fat but i sure as hell know that i am lol so its not like they're telling me anything i dont know. one time i replied with "and why does that matter?" and the person was like "because that makes you stupid!" and i was like..."no actually you making an obvious statement to my face in a failed attempt to demean me makes YOU stupid"

To the one person who called me fat:

"I guess the polysyllabic complexities of 'corpulent' elude you."

"you know, you confuse me....normally people of your limited physical appeal make up for it with an actual personality!"

ROFL -- love it!!  And obsidyan, I agree 100% with what you said.  Those who make rude comments aren't going to really care what you say back in response, however it doesn't mean you have to absorb the negativity like a sponge.  If it feels better to give it back - even if just to get it out of your system - then I say go for it.  They don't care if they hurt our feelings, why should we?

When I was in school and getting teased, my mom taught me this (guaranteed to make jaws drop and leave them guessing):

How dare you insinuate that I should tolerate such a diabolical insult from such an inferior piece of humanity such as the likes of you."

And yes, I've used it once or twice.

And yes, even at this age, I still get rude remarks and obscene, crude noises and gestures from passers-by and people - including grown men - in cars!  It's kinda sad actually.  I couldn't tell you how many times I had to tell my husband that those kind of people 'just aren't worth it' when he's wanted to go and deck them for being rude to me.

Out of everything else there is to make fun of me for, you choose the most obvious, that's just sad..and very unimaginative.. I would have expected more.

Personally, I'm of the 5-year-old school of thought.

The perfect answer is.
Well, your Mama!
or
Well, your Face!

;)

"Well, duhhh. Did you think I was, somehow, unaware of my appearance? Perhaps you could try and dig a little deeper in future..."

It doesn't seem to happen so much for guys, as far as I have seen in my life.

I have a lot of friends of various sizes, and I think it's mostly a gender thing (women being harrassed by moronic men, no matter what size they are).

The best response I saw was from a friend of mine who looked the rude person in the eye, with her facial expression being truly vulnerably pained and then said "Does it make you feel better about yourself to hurt other people?" You could have heard a pin drop in the room. The moron sputtered an apology and walked away.
