Defiantly gaining:

'Ha! I'm gonna get fat even though you don't want me to!'

The word is DEFINITELY, people.

Turn a comment into a joke - but one that shows you enjoy your size. For example:

'Wow your belly is getting big'
You: (slap belly) 'All bought and paid for!'

or

'Shut up or I'll eat you '

Revel in them. They are a badge of honour

One word, Ben: alcohol.

Sethman, that depends on what you mean by 'average'. If it's the median, then yes, by definition, 50% are above and 50% below. But in a skewed distribution (e.g. weight, where you get people 500+ lbs over the mean, but very few 100 under) then you can quite easily get more than 50% below the arithmetic mean (which is what most people mean, aha, when they say 'average'. Chi-squared distributions are a good example of a distribution where the mean exceeds the median.

Statistics-based pedantry notwithstanding, I will be keeping an eye on this thread, and I will pull it if it degenerates into personal insults. So play nice.

Blake, excuse the cynicism, but we've had a lot of 'documentary makers' come and troll the site for their own agendas. Do you have any bona fides that you can establish?
