• I like F-you one and the 'your old' one too but here are a few more

  "someone has to make you feel better about being so ugly. so I got fat." (not saying you are by the way NOT EVEN CLOSE)

  
  
  "Because I spend time enjoying my life instead of asking rude and asinine questions?"
  
  
  "So I can squash rake-poles like you, squirt."
  
  "Because larger clothes are cheaper."
  
  
  "I need a lot of me to support my huge brain
  and your so skinny ... then smile"
  
  
  "Probably for the same reason you are."
  
  
  "because i enjoy food and my life and i am confident enough to live with that"
  
  
  Prosperity and fine dining !

  
  

  The list is endless..LOL.. Oh and I agree with the others when they say that silence is usually the best way to go, but in the end if they dont shut up then what the hell you might as well feel better about dealing with such a B#$%H ..LOL

•  just tell her that if she stood sideways and stuck her tongue out someone would mistake her for a zipper.  my best friends dad used to tell me that all the time, I'm 5'3 and 100 pounds and not purposely either lol. I don't diet and I don't exercise, I have an extreamly fast matabolism according to my Dr lol. So I have heard all the skinny jokes.  so the zipper one is funny and i think she would get the point. or you could say, I'd rather be fat and happy than skinny and miserable then smile and walk away :)

  btw I don't think you're fat either I hope I keep the weight I gain, I could seriously use it!!!

• Wow you are by no means fat, but if ya need a few here ya go.....

  ....Well if that isn't the Pot calling the kettle black!

  ....Because i am pregnant, what is your excuse?

  ....Well since we way about the same, even though I am pregnant, we can exercise together so you can lose those rolls of yours!

  ...Well I would also comment on your weight, but my mom taught me manners like if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. Guess you missed your manners course huh!

  ...I've been noticing you are also putting on a few pounds, but wanted to wait for the right tiime to talk to you about it, now seems like a good time to address it.

  Good Luck, she sounds like a real winner!!!!

• Well you could always use the line I use when called fat. "Atleast I have an a$$ & t!t$, that are real. And your son OBVIOUSLY seems to enjoy them" Sorry for the crude language but it really pisses me off people that have to insult others because they feel like they dont look good enough so they have to try & point it out in nasty ways.

• I like boobear's response about ob's suggestion u put on more weight. I also like the one 'I'd rather be fat and happy. . .'. But my very favorite old stand by is to laugh like she said something hysterical. Even tho she won't admit it, she's looking for a rise out of you and laughing in her face is the opposite reaction she is hoping for.

• Well sweetey, you can loose the weight, apparently there's nothing she can do to get rid of her ugly attitude. It sounds like she might have a weight problem in her head, some folks have severe phobias of being fat, and others just get disgusted with anyone bigger than them... I haven't weigh 115 lbs since I was in Elementary school (5th grade)... She has a huge predjudice that probably keeps her from making too many non-superficial friends!

• ok, I think insulting her back would bring you down to her level, you have so much more tact than her so some of the bitter comments others are suggesting don't seem to fit your personality..

  I would keep the joking tone and simply say - 'well your son seems to really like my curves' 

  I do also like that comment about the obgyn telling you you could stand to gain a few pounds.

  whatever your MIL is wrestling with (she probably is feeling conscious of her age to be honest- because otherwise you two sound close in size) is not your problem, you just keep your head up with the knowledge that you are the better person.

• 100% agree!! this is your best reply. and i agree, that it sounds like your MIL may have an eating disorder... I am 5'1'' and weigh 172 at 32 weeks preggo. but it is a healthy weight for me. i would love to be back to 115, but know it's not a healthy weight for me. you keep doing whaat you are doing and gain some weight momma!! dont let her get you down and distract you from gaining the weight you need to gain for that LO!
  

  Quoting BooBear81:
  
  

  Just say "really? you think so? My ob says that I am doing a great job making a healthy baby and that I could stand to gain a few more pounds..."

  There is nothing she can say to that- not one word that would make her look good.

  No need to be a smart aleck- no need to be mean. Just state the truth.

  You are healthy, you are growing a human being inside of you, you are beautiful- and her ugly words can't erase that reality. Oh, and three healthy grandbabies aren't good enough for this woman??? Sheesh.

  Actually, thinking about it- it sounds like your MIL has an eating disorder and she is trying to transfer her sickness.
