A Thin Time of It

I'm 38 and i've always been a size 6-8. For as long as I can remember, people have made hurtful remarks about my size. Once, at a meal with my husband's workmates, one leant over to me and said "You'd better eat all that up. You look like you need it!". Word's can't describe how embarrassed I felt. Would someone go up to a large person and say something as rude and personal?
I'm not just a 'skinny' person, i'm a hard working mum. People should think before making thoughtless comments. Who knows what effect they may have?
