Roll with the Paunches

"If she calls me fat, I'm going to let her have it." I said to hubby.
"Just ignore her." He replied "You be the better person."
"The hell with that. She's rude." I retorted. "If she says it, I'm going to tell her she's a bitch."

And so went our conversation on our way to see our friends. Well, not really my friends but Hubby's. They owned the dry cleaner's near our home and Hubby became very friendly with them. They sold the business and moved upstate and we were driving to see them and I was formulating comebacks to different 'fat comments' she might say to me.

The wife, a very outspoken 60 something year old woman; and very slim; has called my fat numerous times.....to my face. Maybe she means well, but doesn't know who to be gentle about the topic. The last time we saw them, she said "You still fat. You need to exercise." And proceeded to show my some exercises.

While at their home for two hours, not a peep out of her regarding my fat cells. I rolled to the car to head to the restaurant and said to Hubby "I'm shocked, she hasn't said anything about my weight."

We went to a Korean restaurant and I felt so self conscious eating in front of her. I wanted to devour every piece of sushi but limited the amount I took just so I don't have to hear the words 'fat' and 'you' in the same sentence. I figured if she sees the small portion I eat, she'll think I'm doing something to lose weight. But all that accomplished was me leaving the restaurant hungry.

You just weight loyal readers, the hefty comments are coming.

Toward the end of the meal, Critter was sitting on my lap and he was picking up stuff from the plate and feeding me. She says (to Critter) "You eat it. Stop feeding Mommy. No wonder she so big."
Did I throw Critter off my lap and reach over the table and paunch her? NO!
Did I fling food in her face? NO!
Did I cry? NO!
But I wanted to do all those things and then some.
My bulky self just sat there engaging with Critter, not looking up. Hubby must have given her an evil eye and tried to shush her cause she then says. "I'm just saying the truth."

THE TRUTH HURTS, LADY!!! LAY OFF THE FAT COMMENTS!
Who am I yelling at? her? ARRRRGGGHH!

I swear she must have a bulk of comments cause.........

After dinner, we went to a Korean mall and supermarket. At the supermarket, they had samples of breads and pastries stuffed with different things. I tasted a few  and thought about buying one.
"Do you want anything?" Fat calling friend asked.
No. I'm trying not to eat bread." I replied.
"You shouldn't eat anything."
