MYOB is still my motto in all but exceptional circumstances.

thats rude.but there are people who are tactless.
i may just shrug, smile and makes an excuse. There are other things or other people which I persnally know who can ruin my trip or my day, but not with total stranger like him.
I hate persons who are insensitive, but I also hate myself for sometimes being sensitive , but now I learned, it pays to be insensitive....

Spread of Obesity Through Social Networks
Study Strengthens Link between Virus and Weight Gain
Perhaps the stranger who confronted the OP was merely afraid for his own health (she says, tongue firmly planted in cheek).

iff's mention of fat spreading through social networks seems to indicate the necessity of strangers to point out the obvious... Social checks inside the family network don't seem to work then.
I haven't heard about the link to viruses yet -- but it doesn't seem to be far-fetched. I just hope a cure is found (if it's true), otherwise it will be used as an excuse and lead to more weight gain.

I would have asked that person do they often go around passing judgement on strangers? If so I would hate to think how they threat those closest to them

WC: "Yes, Mrs. Braddock, I am drunk. But you, Mrs. Braddock are ugly, and disgustingly fat. Tomorrow morning, I will be sober."
(There are minor variations in how it's quoted.)

It is said that Lady Astor, in one of many verbal jousts with Sir Winston, said "Sir, if you were my husband I should poison your tea!"
To which he is said to have replied "Madam, if you were my wife, I should drink it."
