Look directly into her eyes and say with a sincerely concerned voice: "I wonder why you need to do this? You seem to need to embarass me about my eating plan, why is that?"

That usually smokes them out of their sniper's nest...;)

All of these posts show just how angry comments and behavior like this can make us. But I would just like to raise my hand in favor of not making remarks about the woman's body in retaliation. That's the kind of behavior that has hurt so many of us when coming at us from others. So I'm hoping we can break the cycle of hurtful comments about other women's thighs, weight, destiny, and so forth. There must be a better way of dealing with the co-worker's behavior, even though it would feel really good to slam her.

Jay -- I wish I could work with you!! I think you hit a point I missed -- she's being obnoxious to someone -- why lower to her level by responding back to her.

thank you all so much for the varied responses! I agree that it is not the right thing to do to comment about her weight or possibility of a weight issue in the future. I like looking directly at her and asking her why she feels the need to make my weight loss journey more difficult. Why does she take pleasure in my struggle?

Thanks again for everyone who responded. There are quite a few characters on these boards and some very witty ones as well!!!!
