My friend gets that sometimes, and her favorite response is "Thanks! Can I have one of your Twinkies?" Everyone laughs, and it works great.

My favorite, is not to insult them back, but to make them feel like a complete idiot for pointing out the obvious (in my case, anyway). If someone calls me fat I'll look down at myself and say "what the hell!??.....when did that happen?" Sometimes, I'll thank them for being so quick witted and comically gifted that the only thing they were able to insult me about, was the most obvious unoriginal thing there was, because they didn't have anything else, while, if I wanted to insult them, my possibilities would be endless.

if someone insults you, you can either A) insult them back, B) insult your self because then people see that you have selfconfidence and you don't let others push you around and tell you how to think or C) just say ok or i know because there is nothing they can really say without being totally out of line and someone in the crowd will probably step in and say "thats wrong and inconsiderate." just one more thing that will take the focus off you is to say "you think so? I thought I looked ok this morning!" the person insulting you will then look stupid and this forces the attencion off of you and puts it back on them. good luck!!

"Oh am I? Well, aren't you the perceptive one...." /roll eyes.
Or
"No baby, I'm curvaceous!"
Honestly, I wouldn't insult them back. I mean do you really care? Everyone around will be taken back by the idiocy of that person anyway. By showing that you acknowledge the insult and yet could not care less says more than any insult could.

The best and most self respecting thing to do is ignore them... no response speaks volumes! There is no sense in arguing with an idiotic person.. it only makes the on lookers wonder who the real dummy is..

your best course of action would be to lose weight. If you did this, you wouldn't get these insults and people wouldn't look at you in disgust. Also, there is no excuse not to lose weight, even if its a thyroid problem, genetics etc. good luck..

erm.. suppose you could catch then off guard instead of getting upset look straight in their face and say something like:
"and?"
"Well at least I don't look like you"
"You got a problem with that?"
but best way to respond to an insult is not to... or just give a look - a kind of look that you find that person pathetic!
hope it helps

There is no response for such rudeness! People who feel the need to name call are sad individuals anyway.

Just say: Well, I can loose weight but you will always be ugly! Or fill in your own personal favorite.
