F-A-T
I talked to my mother-in-law on the phone yesterday.
She profusely thanked me, for the dozenth time, for all I did for them on their visit this summer.
Then she said, "I showed (Hub's sister) the photos of our trip, and she said you look pretty good -- you're only a little bit fat."
I think she thought she was saying something nice. Maybe she was, and it was just lost in translation?
Yeah, that must be it.

definitely!
Well I for one think we need to defuse the sting of what we perceive as that dreaded insult "fat"...it's just an adjective! The more often I tell myself: "I may be fat, but I can still do X,Y, or Z", the more I am able to accept my fate.
Only a little bit fat? Compared to what? How fat she'd been TOLD you were?
Oh I hope something was lost in translation.
How did you respond? Thank you? ?????
Jeez, Mother in law, you're only a little bit rude!

Or may be she's a little bit lacking of an adjective.
