cressida Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 What's wrong in being diplomatic, so people who believe in 'saying it as it is' can be interpreted as just being impolite If someone asked me for an honest opinion I'd say it doesn't do anything for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 A few years back, maybe 10 years, I was overweight and this kid called me a fat so and so. I told him to wait until he got another 20 years on his back but I didn't seem to get through to him because I saw him the other week looking like he was maybe 20 stone, no exaggeration, and I had lost 4 stone. He tried to hide but couldn't. Anyway, I just said, "Hi" and walked on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiglet Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 P.s. the thread isn't about the words used (fat/skinny), it's about comments in general, so don't take much notice of the actual wording. But people do comment on weight increase; they say 'You're looking so well!'. This usually means 'wow you got fat'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwkittie Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 It's also apparently fine to make skinny jokes all the time but not fat jokes. I used to have an overactive thyroid (which makes you lose weight as one symptom) and people used to say all sort of stupid things like 'oh lucky you I wish I had that' etc, I'm like it's a horrible medical problem that comes with a lot of nasty complications that made my life utterly miserable for years, that I wouldn't wish on anyone. So annoying - people just seem to think that weight loss should be valued above everything else and that if you are thin you must be perfectly happy with your body and therefore fine with being commented about. It's not on really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnvqsos Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 i defiantly think they should tax over weight people for eating fatty foods. And tax people who confuse defiantly with definitely:rant: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harleyman Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I generally tell people they're "looking prosperous" if I notice they've gained consdierable weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andygardener Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 How is this thread not about shopping in Morrisons Hillsborough? It's the perfect discription of the big fat messes that block the aisles jabbering on to their equally fat chums about vacuous topics such as corrie, our keelie, x-factor and telling their equally fat spawnings to "ger ere". Morrisons need to equip their trolleys with Ben Hur style spikes on the wheels for the non-lardbucket community to be able to actually get in and out of the place without being blocked at every hand and turn by unsightly lumps with the speed and proportions of a supertanker.

I1L2T3 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Fat is the new normal. If somebody trims themself down a bit then it's nice to complement them but why complement a chubster for being like the rest of us chubsters. "Alright Bob, you look normal today mate" Doesn't work does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buck Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Being complimented on weight loss is nice. The other way, not so much. That's just the way it is. Chances are, you know the person who gained weight isn't happy about it, so why would you comment on it? I hadn't seen a cousin of my husband's in at least ten years. Her husband told me I was the spitting image of his first wife, except I was heavier. Oh GOD. The diet starts tomorrow! I corrected him, I am the first wife!! I don't know who was more uncomfortable, me or him. He apologized, my husband and his cousin thought it was hilarious. I sometimes get asked " When are you due?" I wouldn't mind except Im male. My pulminory specialist gets on my case because of my love of Irish sausage, bacon and eggs. My cardiologist gets on my case over salt, my wife wants me to use Splenda instead of sugar. I will do what they want when hell freezes over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
