I honestly can't remember ever getting a comment quite like OP's from a male co-worker; once I got razzed by a female supervisor about getting a Butterfinger for a mid-afternoon snack that I let roll off my back, because I knew what a spazz she was about her own weight.
However, in the past I have been the target of a fairly intrusive, boorish comment by another co-worker who walked the entire length of the floor of my then-office (which was vast) to deliver her little dart. I just looked at her. And looked at her. And looked at her. I must have simply stared, wordless, at her for at least 30-45 seconds, and her knees almost buckled.
That was my hands-on lesson that nothing, and I mean NOTHING, dresses a boor (male or female) down like a simple, silent, and LONG stare.

I definitely agree with you here. It's like a code among women that shouldn't be violated! :7

I know! I would never, ever say that to a woman, friend, foe or otherwise...if a friend asked me whether or not she had gained weight, I would answer in a very honest, but gentle way, and then add something about hard it is to watch what you eat and exercise sometimes...you know what I mean. I am all about supporting other women, just wonder why women can be so mean to each other, never have understood that mentality.

Oh my, you guys are much too nice!! I would have totally snapped back with a nasty comment along the lines of, "oh, I see you've already tested that theory. Thanks for the warning!" I unfortunately have no sensor in my brain for comments like that! Plus I work with a few of those guys who just LOVE to comment on what I eat. Hey, if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen.
