Today, I ran into a former co-worker who I hadn't seen in years. She was raving at how I hadn't aged a bit, but before I could thank her she said, "But, you know, chubby people age better." FML

Today, I went to a high school reunion. An old friend I hadn't seen in a while suddenly came up to me and gasped, "Oh, thank God!" I was about to greet her and catch up when she added, "I'm not the only one who gained weight!" FML

Today, I was at the gym and saw an old friend. I have put on a lot of muscle in the past few months, and she said to me "Wow, you've really gotten big." Just by habit I said "You too." Turns out she's gained 45 lbs since I'd last seen her. Oops. FML

Today, my grandmother said to me, "You look just like your mother did at your age. Except you're fatter of course." FML

Today, I got to see my best friend for the first time in months. Her first reaction was to say, "Wow, you gained a lot of weight." I actually lost a fair bit. FML

Today, I went to the store and ran into an old friend that I hadn't seen in years. We chatted a little, and just as I was leaving he grabbed his mobile phone. Later, I added him on Facebook. Turns out the last thing he posted was a picture of my back saying: "Look who got even fatter." FML

Today, I met my cousin after two years. She got really tall and skinny, like a model. I joked saying, "You've grown and gotten slim, and I've stayed the same and have gotten fat." I expected some sort of disagreement. Instead, she looked me up and down, frowned, and gave me a long, sympathetic hug. FML

Today, I went to my parents' house. I recently lost about 30 lbs. My mom hugged me and said, "Aww, you're not my chubby baby girl anymore." She then said she wished I were still fat because she missed it. She's the reason I lost the weight; she used to tease and taunt me. Thanks Mom. FML

Today, I ran into an old student of mine at the grocery store. She didn't recognize me at first so I introduced myself as her old teacher. She looked taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Oh my God... you're still alive?" FML

Today, my friend was complaining about how fat she was. To make her feel better I said, "Psh, you're not fat! In fact we're about the same weight!" She looked at me for a second, then burst into tears sobbing, "I'm fat! I'm fat!" FML

What a nice compliment...sort of? At least she thinks you look young. :P Glass half full, OP!

Ah, that's so snarky. Well, I'd rather be chubby and young looking than stick thin and wrinkly.

Okay, if you aren't chubby, that's a bit rude. If you are, however, chubby, then take it as a compliment.

People who have to insult others looks (especially when complimenting) have their own self image/esteem issues (typically). I feel more sorry for her because she has to bring your weight up to light and you're (hopefully) more comfortable that you don't have to bring it up.

Life is like a box of chocolates. It doesn't last that long if you're fat.

Chubby people do A lot of things better than skinny people. There's always a bright side

So you're saying a skinny person can't eat a box if chocolate all that fat? Or more than one person? Rude opinions are like idiots. There are too many of them. (Irony intended.)
