I wish this waitress had time for a witty response - what would you say?

You can watch this video and be horrified if you want:

This poor waitress was left no money as a tip and the comment, “You could stand to loose some weight.”

Notice the typo….

Why are people so horrible!?!? What would you have said in reply?

Interesting vid.

Compare the banal online video of the painful models to the final post-Photoshop output.

Doesn’t look so glam anymore. It shows you the real deal.

My family is obsessed with my weight

2009-03-21T18:39:22-05:00

Even as a teenager my Mom and Grandparents constantly commented on my weight. “Oh, you gained a few pounds again, better be careful!” I always thought that they were concerned about my well-being, but later I started to realize that they were probably also interested in not having a chubby daughter.

I am an adult now, have two children and when we meet for holidays I still get the occasional comment about my weight whether I gained or lost some. I truly love my family, but I think most of my problems with my own weight are related to their obsession with how I look.

I don’t want to offend them, but I am just so angry every time they say something. Do you have any suggestions for ways to respond to these comments?
