15 Savage Comebacks To Fat-Shaming You Can Serve To ‘Well-Meaning’ Relatives & Friends

It isn’t always easy being our true selves, in a society like ours.
Especially, if you don’t fall into the narrow, approved “standards” of what society deems acceptable. We’re surrounded by people who are so obsessed with other people’s lives that they hardly have their own. From judging others for their choices to cracking mean jokes, they’re always ready to interfere. This also includes joking about someone else’s appearance. And sadly, fat-shaming tops the list – where people think that making a remark on a person’s body and size is funny. 

While, it’s impossible to spot the punchline in their jokes, it’s not very difficult to spot such people – they are usually disguised as well-wishers. So, if you see a ‘well-wisher’ who thinks commenting on your body is funny, mudho aur bhaag jao.

On other days, when you’d like to leave them speechless, here are some comebacks that’d help:

1. “You’re cute like a teddy bear, but if you lost weight, you’ll be beautiful.” 

– No, I’m not a teddy bear. But you my friend, are definitely made of plastic.

2. “You’re so big, does that mean that you have a big heart too?”

– You know, at least I’ve a big heart. Unlike your tiny motor that’s just there to pump blood. 

3. “I’m so scared of pissing you off. What if you sit on me?” 

– Haha, no I’m not going to sit on you. But before you open your mouth the next time, know that I CAN sit on you. 

4. “Losing weight will help you gain some confidence.”
