You’re not fat!

Ughh…I look so fat.

Ughhh I look so fat. Oh, sorry! (rarely followed up by the “sorry”)

But you’re proportionate!

At least your boobs are big!

(a more specific one) You’re vegetarian? I thought most vegetarians were skinny!

Wow. Look at how fat that person is…

“She should NOT be out in public in that! Oh…but I mean…you look good!”

But you’re not, like, sloppy fat

You carry it well, though!

You’re not FAT. You’re chubby!

When are you due?

What?! You CAN’T be a size 16!

Is this your first kid?

We don’t carry YOUR size here.

I can’t wait for this. Someone needs to make it!

you aren’t 200 pounds!!! no way!

But you have such a pretty face!

But you’re so funny!

I thought you were like a size 6!

175 pounds? You carry it so well!

You’re not fat, don’t say that! (because fat is ALWAYS an insult u kno~)

Your boobs are GINORMOUS!

Are they real? Can I feel them?

I wish I could dress like you, how do you find such cute clothes that fit?

You can pull it off though!

There’s fat and then there’s, like, OBESE

I’m just really worried about your health

I don’t know why fat people say they can’t lose weight. I started going to the gym and I lost 6kg.

I have body issues too you know.

I was watching this show, you know, about fat people, but they were, you know, morbidly obese, you know, when they’re all gross and everything.

The Biggest Loser is sooooo inspirational!

You always dress so well…

That’s so flattering!

You’re not ready for this jelly *pats own flat stomach*

Yeah, she’s a *whispers* big lady too.

Have you tried the *blah blah* diet?

I could fit my head in your bra.

No thanks, I’m watching my weight. Ohh… ummm…

I never notice anyone making nasty comments/pointing and staring at you.

No! They don’t do that do they? Do they REALLY cut fat people’s heads off in articles and news bulletins? I’ve never noticed!

I could do this shit all night.

Fat folks say that too. The beauty of internalised bullshit.
