We have catering on site and the lady who serves it (2 days a week) always gives me less than my colleagues. On other days a different lady serves and I get the same amount.
She's very slim and always talking about diets etc. I need to lose weight and it's very noticeable that she agrees when she serves up my food. It's a set menu e.g. I'll be given two sausages and one scoop of mash) and my colleagues would get three sausages and two mash.
I know it sounds petty but I am just as hungry as they are!!
She came into the staff room about 5 hours after lunch and I was having a snack and she said "you're not eating again"
as if I couldn't possibly be hungry after the tiny meal she gave me.
Then yesterday I was eaten a homemade biscuit given to me as a thank you and she saw me and said "I've seen you" like I had been caught doing something wrong.
AIBU to be annoyed she is treating me noticeably differently? I pay the same as everyone else! It's a small environment so can't really complain.
AIBU?
AIBU?
To be annoyed I get given less food because the cook thinks I need to lose weight?

From the OP:
"AIBU to be annoyed she is treating me noticeably differently? I pay the same as everyone else!"
She pays 
on your behalf. Is she your mum? Can you ask someone else to collect your meal for you and then take it to her and say "this is what everyone else gets, and I expect the same".
As for remarks in passing, "did you mean to be so rude?" would work pretty well.
YANBU.
What would happen if she worked in a restaurant and tried this? "Well, yes, the menu says three sausages but I noticed you're a bit fatter than me madam so I've brought you two" .
She wouldn't last a shift!
Unbearably rude. You decide what you eat - just like everyone else!
Fucking hell
Your weight is irrelevant and none of her business. You can't decide to put someone else on a diet!
Please complain about her OP. Hope she gets sacked, nasty cow.
Arrrgh she sounds like a nightmare!
I used to work with someone who gave me colossal portions because I "needed feeding up" and then bellyache about my not finishing it all and "wasting food" Looking back on it it was definitely a form of bullying, it was a free meal at a job that paid peanuts but I was always tempted to start taking in sandwiches or buying lunch elsewhere rather than go through the stress every sodding time!
This is so bloody rude! What on earth makes people act like this? That biscuit thing is unbelievable, sneaking around watching what you're eating like its a crime.
I agree with the tactic of questioning everything she says to you and making her explain exactly what she means.
