    and this is just another stereotype i mean not everyone that is big says things about thin people, i'm big and never put anyone down, i think your coworker is just plain mean with you and has issues with herself.

    Sounds like she is putting you down to make herself feel better. Next time just tell her that her insults are not becoming of her and they make her look like she has a very poor character. "Judge not lest ye be judged".

    You really should not respond to an insult with an insult. That makes you look as bad as the people who are insulting you.

    Instead, when insulted, smile coldly and do not insult back.

    Trust me... it works.

    It sounds like your co-worker is just plain an *ss based upon your statement that she always talks smack. I can bet that you are not the only one she has insulted.

    Your coworker probably says it because she wants you to feel awkward or bad about your weight, because every time she sees you, she feels awkward and bad about her weight. She's constantly reminded of just how fat she is and how much she really wants to be at a healthier size like yours. But if she admitted that then she would have to change her bad habits. that's too hard, so it's so much easier to talk smack. If you talk to her about it and she doesn't get the hint, just ignore her. She will stop.

    I don't know what her specific problem is, but I think it's dangerous to generalize that all "big people" act a certain way or do a certain thing. It's the same problem you run into when people say people of a certain ethnicity act a certain way...only that's called racism.

    Probably trying to shift the notion of normal a little towards her way. I dont know how thin you really are, but if she convinces herself that you are abnormally thin, then she might not feel so fat. Everything is relative.

    Perhaps it is because your co-worker is ashamed at her own lack of self-control. Think about it. In order to gain and maintain obesity, one has to eat a lot, and often. Most obese people are emotional eater whether they admit it or not. Food is their drug and their enemy...or so I've read.

    I'm big and I only talk smack if I'm thinking about eating you. Is that wrong of me?

    Those people do exist, but not all bigger people are like that. Perhaps the ones who are are not satisfied with themselves, so they take out their inner struggles on others.
