10 Compliments Only Given to Overweight People

There are some compliments you receive that are only for overweight people. These are remarks made by thinner people may seem kindhearted, until you think about it and want to go back and yell at them.

I've been overweight pretty much all my life. Once in high school I starved myself and ran. A lot. 205 pounds was the lowest I ever saw. The scales at GNC said 185 was my highest 'safe' weight. Ah, well.

1) "That Jacket is really slimming on you" -
So what you mean is, "Keep the jacket it hides your incredible girth, you fat slob".

2) "Black looks great on you" -
Yes, I know, because dark colors deceive the gazing eyes of the skinny into believing I am a little bit smaller than I really am.

3) "You carry it well" -
So what you're saying is... I may be the size of a house in your eyes, but at least I am proportionate.

4) "Your new haircut really helps slim your face"
My hair is covering the fat on my face then?

5) "You have such a pretty face"
What you meant was "You are fat. I cannot find anything to compliment you on."

6) "You are looking pretty healthy lately"
You look like you've eaten your children... and the neighbors.

7) "Is that your other half? Wow, she's so tiny and gorgeous"
What you meant was is this chick blind or or just have a mental disorder? There's no reason she should be with you you fat slob.

8) "Here's a shirt for you! I thought you's like it, It's way too big on me"
What you meant: I bought this shirt thinking I'd gained some holiday weight, turns out... It should fit the fattest person I know! You!

9) "You're handsome/pretty for your size"
What you just said: I had no idea fat could be good looking!

10) "Glad to see you eating more salads! That's healthy!"
What you just said: Taking a break from the usual fried Twinkies soaked in lard today eh?

I know with some of these you mean well, but really, we've heard them all. If you can't be nice, please just shh.
