...I've decided I will counter with this:

"If only your body was proportionately as small as your mind, it probably wouldn't bother you one bit..."

You could also excuse yourself and find somewhere more supportive to be.
A negative comment + a negative retort doesn't equal anything positive.

I still identify as a fat person, and comments about them wound me. Anger me. It's like they are talking ABOUT me, and I don't like that. Whether they knew I used to be that big or not...

Me too! I still feel like one of the fat people. I've noticed that friends who NEVER said anything about overweight people to me before now comment to me about others. Now I know what they were thinking all along....
