I think the worst thing you can do to someone complaining about their weight is to say they aren't fat. Immediately they will think you are lying to them and you will lose any trust you had. We also have to remember that fat is just a word (maybe not a nice word which is why people are so quick to deny it) to describe being over weight. There is this stigma that being fat is bad. No... being fat is just being fat. It doesn't define us as a person. When I hear people complaining that they are fat rather than tell them they aren't my response is more along the lines of I feel your pain. I would like to lose weight too. I don't necessarily agree with them, but I also don't tell them they are wrong.
