Guys, Never Say These Things to Overweight Ladies 28 October, 2013 Life and St

Guys, Never Say These Things to Overweight LadiesA shocking number of people think that it's acceptable to comment on women's bodies – curvy, skinny, short and tall alike. However, women who fall outside of the thin “ideal” face a specific type of weight discrimination. The comments often directed at these women make it glaringly clear that fat stigma is (sadly) still alive and well.

The term “plus-size” itself is a point of contention for many women. Obviously no one should be singled out for their body size, or treated differently because of their weight. But the fact remains that strangers, friends, family members and colleagues often feel empowered to comment on a woman's size, especially when that size is not petite.

Here are some of the comments you should avoid saying to a woman who isn't rail-thin:
"You have such a pretty face."

"You should wear black."

"You're a big girl."

"Have you ever thought about lap band surgery?"

"I don't have a problem with bigger girls."

"You're big-boned, that's all."

"If you ate less, you'd lose the weight."

"What happened?"

"I wish I enjoyed food like you."

"Don't worry, I like thick girls."

"Have you ever tried losing weight?"

"You shouldn't eat that."

"You look fine the way you are."

"You shouldn't eat that."

"Did you gain weight because you're afraid of attracting men?"

"You'd be so pretty if you lost weight."

"When are you due?"

"My friend lost so much weight on this great diet."

"If you slimmed down, you'd be really sexy."

"Have you checked your cholesterol recently?"

"You should try to be healthier."

"You shouldn't wear stripes/polka dots/floral prints."

"You'd be dateable if you lost weight."

What do you think about these remarks? Can you add some more the list?
