My friend who is slim size 8-10, showed me size 16 a meme on Facebook. A photo of a slim cartoon saying ‘Facebook memories’ to ‘now’ showing the same cartoon being Over weight . And said ‘so true’ just felt she was digging at me as she’s slim and definitely not over weight

"Ohh so you mean me? I didn't realize there was an issue with my weight!"
If she denies it just say "but why else would you need to say 'so true' when we both know your weight hasn't changed."
Make her feel embarrassed.

Lots of slim people consider themselves big - drives me nuts - Is she the type to say "I've put on so much weight" when there's nothing on her. Someone I know does it and I swear it's because they want people to say "don't be daft, you're so slim!". I wouldn't assume it was about you x

I've come across some slim people including a sister comment about themselves having put on loads of weight when they clearly haven't and you know it's just said to fish for compliments.

I have found the best reply when it's a repeat occurrence is to reply that I've noticed they have but wouldn't be so rude to comment on someone's weight.
