This is the last time!!
I am, I suppose, really lucky that I have not really had anyone make any comment on my size within my earshot. This could possibly be due to me always getting in there first with my own 'witty' remark though.
For example, I was in the playpark with the kids the other week and someone passed by and asked how to get to the nearest NAAFI. My colleague couldn't remember where the closest one was but I told him exactly how to get there, then added at the end 'always ask the fat bird where to get food, it's a winner'. My colleague was horrified that I had put myself down in that way, but if I do it, then others can't hurt me by doing it, if that makes any kind of sense?
One thing that really did hurt me though, was when my aunt said to me 'You always were the prettiest one, it's such a shame when we look at you now'. I was so upset and had to leave the room immediately. I felt that it was a very tactless thing to say, I would NEVER dream of saying anything so hurtful to somebody.
What about you guys?
