Ever been under the spotlight for your weight? If you have, you’ll also relate to the fact that people love giving other people advice over anything, especially when it’s not asked for. You know where I’m going with this: “You look healthy for your age. Have you tried blah diet and blah blah exercise? It’s known to really help shed those extra kilos.” Yeah, no thanks.
If you’re tired of answering them back with a fake smile and nod, try these comebacks out, and watch them shut up and think about where they went wrong.
“Why don’t you lose some weight?”
1. Because I can cook better than you, which also explains why you look malnourished
Woops.
2. Because I need insulation when it’s cold
Winter is here.
3. I will lose weight the day you decide to not be judgmental
Waiting eagerly.
4. Play the song ‘I’m sexy and I know it’ loudly in front of them
And dance like LMFAO, if you can.
5. Because I have loose clothes and I need to fit into them
And I’m too broke to get it stitched by a tailor.
6. You should say that looking into a mirror the next time
Really.
7. Because I don’t want to get married, and I hear that people don’t like fat brides
It’s true, no?
8. Because real men like curves. Only dogs go for bones
Preach!
9. If I get thin, fast food joints will go out of business. How dare you suggest sabotaging someone’s company, you prick!
People can be so terrible sometimes.
10. I still look better than you do even when you’re dressed up to the best of your abilities. How will you ever change that?
An answer for that, please?
11. I’m sorry, I couldn’t hear you over being a successful, open minded adult
Come again, please? Nothing to say? Didn’t think so.
Your body is your canvas, and you decide what to do with it.
