Yeah, I had a co-worker who had ordered some dresses and had them delivered to our office. On a break we were looking at them with her. And she made a comment about how she was now a size 8, but they didn't feel like a size 8, like they felt too small, and then she made a comment like "well, at least I'm not a size 18."

I know she wasn't directing it at me. She meant like, looking on the positive side for her. I get that. Problem is, I am a size 18. And it kind of offended me a little. However, knowing that I don't give two shits what she thinks of my size, I didn't care. I know my weight issues right now stem from issues with medications, hospitalizations, and depression. And I also know that when I was her age, I was in far better shape than she was. So if it's a competition, well, I've run two marathons, multiple half marathons, and done cross country self-contained bike touring, stuff that would make her cry from roughing it so hard...Not too long ago I could run a mile in less than 8 minutes...I know she can't. Yeah, so maybe now my health isn't as great, but I had a resting heart rate of 47 when I was her age, so she can kiss my ***. Lol...

Just try and think before you speak. And if you say something that is offensive, just apologize right away and say "you know, I didn't think before I said that, and I see how it may have upset you or hurt your feelings. I'm sorry if I did."

That should be enough for any reasonable person to get over it.
