being size 12
and the largest of my friends my response to them is normally.

Them: I'm so fat, i think i'll try ..... diet next.
Me: So you're what, size 10?
Them: Yes.
Me: And you think YOU'RE fat? I'm size 12, do you think I'M fat? because i know i'm not.
Them: of course you're not fat.
Me: shut up then.

I see
Well then continue calling them on their bullshit!

That, or just agree with them in the most tactless way possible, along the lines of 'Yes, you're hideous, you'd better go and hide in a dark corner and stop repulsing the rest of us', instead of encouraging their whinging like the others seem to :-p (just to clarify, I'm not suggesting that they're actually fat, but if they will insist on going on about it...)

I'm with you on that kellysprinkles
I'm a size 12 too (and 5'3", just for reference) and I get this shit from my several of my workmates, all of them between sizes 6 to (a small) 10. I say *exactly* what you say to them and it doesn't seem to sink in at all. Aaaaaaaaaargh!!

The thing is that I'm very happy with my weight and my figure now. I've been a size 8 and I've been a size 18, the latter being the one I was happier with (I obtained decent-sized norks being one of the reasons).

To quote the best line in Bridget Jones' Diary (sorry), 'I like a woman with an arse you can park a bike in and balance a pint of beer on.' From what many of my male friends have said, they'd much rather a woman with a bit of meat on.
