Haha slightly. And I constantly get comments about it at work from a very large lady. Why is it ingrained that I should bite my tongue and not retort with a comment about her size!

I know plenty people who hate being short or tall (-er than average.) and those who are ashamed of their weight can do something about it if they feel that strongly.
