Need snappy come back line

[Cherry 71]

I have a coworker that says to me everyday - girl you are too skinny and need to stop losing weight - or something to that effect.....

I'm a firm believer of the 'turning it around approach'.... Have you asked her, "Why do I need to stop losing weight"? I'd love to hear her response... and if she says, "because you are too skinny", then say, "Says who"?

I have a coworker that says to me everyday - girl you are too skinny and need to stop losing weight - or something to that effect. I am tired of telling her I'm healthy finally' date=' or my body will figure it out.

Before I go off on her I thought I would ask everyone for a good snappy come back to stop the everyday comment.

FYI she is overweight and I understand she is jealous of me, but I am still tired of it.[/quote']

I hear ya I get "you are looking so cute these days, don't start getting cocky and conceded"! I am the same person 34 pounds ago just happier. Just come right out and tell her that you are uncomfortable with her saying that to you and you put it back on her. Good Luck

I would tell her ... "My BMI is ..... Do you want me check online what yours is?? That might stop her...

I've tried just about everybody's responses on this. Personally I look straight through them when they make comments like that. After a while you just become immune just like I became immune to being teased for being obese. Since you have to work with em I'd just say uh huh and go about my business after she realizes ur not even listening she'll shut up. I know its easier said but don't u allow anyone to bring you down this is ur moment in life not theirs. =)

I would just look at get up& down. Are you talking about me? Look in the mirror I don't want to have a heart attack so I wouldn't be talking if I was you. I'm happy now & you should be happy & I can help you out by both of us eating healthy. She will stop talking crap

You shouldn't have to waste your energy or time on her. You feel better and look good and that's all that matters. Just let it in one ear and out the other. Some people are so ridiculous. Keep up the awesome job and hard work. Surround yourself with positive people like us and weed out the jealous idiots like her.

Her common response is that a gust of wind is going to blow me away because I am so skinny.

I have honestly tried all these responses even the ignore it approach. I have not tried the direct approach since I do have to work with her. In my field as an animal control officer we must depend on our coworkers to be there if we need help in the field. Many of you understand the scorned woman issues and if I need this women I want her to stop what she is doing and come help.

I actually laugh at her under my breath as she is hell bent on not losing weight. She has told me she loves being fat and does not plan to change. It is sad really because I know we have all been in her shoes. I have worked to damn hard for her to bring me down and yet during those special days of the month her comments some what hurt me.

Just simply tell her your happy being over weight I'm happy this way. Would you like me to always talk about your weight? Wait for her reply. If she said nothing it's over. If she says it doesn't bother me then say it doesn't bother you but it makes me uncomfortable. I'm happy with me self be happy with your self & stay out of my business.

I'd just tell them that my surgeon and nutritionist both agreed on a healthy weight for me. I haven't had my surgery yet, but my family already tells me that my goal weight of 135 will make me too skinny. I tell them that for my height, I won't even be considered "normal" instead of "overweight" until I hit 135. that usually shuts them up.

This is the best answer, if you don't mind sharing the info. Or you could say "That subject is personal. My weight is not your concern and it doesn't affect my ability to do my job." There are laws that protect your right to privacy in the workplace. You don't need to share personal info and you don't need to take anyone's criticism of non work-related issues.

I like being a smart mouth saying well my goal is to look as sick as possible. Or guess I will have to wear toddler clothes. Maybe she will get the hint

Whats that line: " You can never be too rich or too thin." Add that you're working on the rich part!

LOVE IT!!

Go into work one day with a rope around your waist and ask if she would grab the other end and protect you from the wind...
