I've got tears in my eyes, reading this. How utterly sad. I cried some months ago when I was just starting to get a bump if I wore a tight enough top. Because my OH's friend joked about me looking fat, then. I had a body to die for at school but was curvy and so never appreciated what I had, and through what happened over the few years after I left, I can be a 12, but I'll never look like I did. So to be told even as a joke what he said, was traumatising! I would urge you to write a simple letter to the manager there, don't come across angry etc, just say what happened and how it made you feel.
I like the one that goes, "I may be fat, but you're ugly and I can diet". Modified, maybe, to, "I may look huge, but you're ugly and after my baby is born I can diet".
I get told I have a cool bump. I've never felt good about myself, and started recently to feel awful because of the whale that was my tummy - but it's really changed how I was starting to feel, having had a few positive comments. And it's funny how the smallest of positive or negative comments have such an effect on how we feel.
The lady should have realised that. Silly cow.
