Today, I was with my family at a buffet getting dessert. As I had my chocolate cake in hand, I grabbed an extra slice of cheesecake for my mom because I knew she would like a slice. Upon returning to my table, a couple walking behind me commented, "See, that's why Americans are so obese." FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I scolded my son at a buffet after he pointed at an obese woman in a motorized wheelchair and asked how anyone could let themselves get so unhealthy. As I lectured him on genetics and thyroid problems, she rolled past with a plate stacked with an obscene amount of fried food. FML
Today, my niece offered me a slice of cake. After I refused, she asked, "Why not? Aren't fat people always hungry?" FML
Today, after taking vacation time to visit her, my mom told me she was glad I was leaving so she could get back to her diet. I'm prediabetic and have been trying to manage the condition. She ordered dessert at every meal and was the only one in the family who did. FML
Today, we had a family gathering at my mom's house. I offered to bring dessert, and I was very proud of my homemade cheesecake. As I set it on the table, my uncle decided to do a magic trick with it and make it disappear onto the floor. FML
Today, I bought myself a Crumbl cookie as a treat for losing 20lbs. Upon seeing it, my mom screamed at me for cheating on my diet and how I was going to "gain all the weight back" and insisted she eat some of it to "help me out." She left behind a tiny morsel of the cookie with a chocolate chip chunk. FML
Today, my dad insisted on taking us to a local buffet that is known for bad food and botulism. He kept piling things onto a plate for me, despite my objections. A waitress commented on how much was on my plate. I told her I wasn't hungry, and it was my dad's doing. Her response, "Your skinny self needs to eat." FML
Today, I was told it is "fatphobic" to "assume someone's weight is related to their food choices" and that I have a "problematic relationship with food." All because I didn't want to eat a bigger slice of the cake someone brought in at work. FML
Today, I volunteered to bring a homemade dessert to a family dinner. I made a cheesecake, decorated it beautifully, and carried it across town on the train. When I arrived, everyone complimented it. Then I realized I'd forgotten the removable bottom of the pan, so the cheesecake was still sitting inside a metal ring and couldn't be served. FML
Today, my parents threw out the beautiful birthday cake my aunt made me, and served celery sticks at my party because I need to "watch my weight." FML
Today, I told my parents that I was going on a diet to lose weight and I wanted their support. They brought home donuts and pizza for dinner. FML

&that's when you should have turned and said, "Actually, this cheesecake is for my mom, and American's are so obese because of restaraunts like this one and you are helping them stay open by eating here. Ever think about that?" and then just walked away. Some people, I swear.

#8 speaks the truth. Although there are nosy ignorant loudmouths everywhere, they're just more subtle in Canada.

This happened to me once at a grocery store. I had the task of shopping for the groceries for my brother's graduation party, since my mom had recently broken her foot. So the cart was full of sodas and chips and all that stuff. Some nosy-ass senior citizen taps me on the shoulder and says, "I can't believe you would buy all that. You might be skinny now, but you'll be fat later in life if you eat that way. You need to rethink your life choices, this is why your generation is getting so fat." He went on for like a full minute about my dietary habits, not noticing that I had a ton of Solo cups, plates, etc. in the damn cart- clearly having a party. I very coldly responded, "A. All this food is for my brother's graduation party- he just graduated from medical school. B. Maybe you should mind your own business and not jump to conclusions. Find a hobby or join the Knights of Columbus, instead of hanging around the Shop-Rite butting into strangers' business, looking to shoplift batteries, dent canned goods for a discount, or whatever it is you seniors do at grocery stores." Maybe it was harsh, but whatever.

Again with the "all Americans are fat" bullshit! I for one am very annoyed at the rest of the world for hating us based on stupid stereotypes and generalizations.

Yes, that was how I would have responded in such a situation. And, as I'm a man in his forties, I can say it and make it stick. Channelling my inner Jack Nicholson and saying it with an I-don't-give-a-****-about-you smile usually makes them soil their Depends and beat a hasty retreat.

sorry #5, but you said that to someone that actually HAD a brain, their response would go something like, "then why are you here?" you fail. trying using your brain (or lack thereof) next time before typing something stupid
