Okay so there's this really annoying, fat, ex co-worker of mine. She stops by work on a regular basis which is fine any all. But then she always insists upon me giving her a hug. And all I can think to myself why hugging her is how quickly I can let go of this fat, sweaty, thing without hurting her feelings.
So my question is, how can I get out of hugging her, without damaging our "friendship"? She's really not as bad as I make her out to be. It's just the hugs. *shivers*

Give her one of those hugs where you put your arm around the back of her neck and break it. You'll kill her but you wont hurt her feelings.
Get a spray bottle and put water in it and spray yourself so you look all sweaty. Maybe she wont if you look like that.. (but that could actually backfire, she might try to hold you longer and tighter so her body and clothes can absorb your sweat so she can have your smell on her the rest of the day....)
The whole purpose of a hug is to express feelings of friendship and love. If you don't feel that with her, than simply tell her your not comfortable with hugs. A lot of people don't like hugs, especially very distant people. Just give her a friendly handshake instead. If she's a decent friend, she'll understand. If not, what's the loss? Anyone who ruins a friendship over a hug isn't someone I'd want to be talking to, tbh.

But seriously, she want him. Hr must have done something Annoying and fat, where is the "friendship".
And may I dare ask what the hell is so inherently wrong with being fat? It's someone's weight, who gives a shit? If they wish to be that weight, why abuse them for it? Being overweight isn't like leprosy, it's a bit of goddam fat! Seriously, why does it matter?
Myself, I'm 65kgs & 175 cms. I'm quite skinny and yet I have overweight friends. They are great people and I have no problems spending time with them/ Does it matter that they are fat? No, they have a great personality which is why I'm friends with them. Are you seriously so shallow to think fat people are below us all? What's wrong with people? >_>

Fat people are the Ugly stench of the earth, they are ugly gross smelly, and ugly they need to stop eating or just be shot and put out of there misery
Yes I am so shallow to think of fat people as less than human. . . . . . .Now let me ask you this, WHAT DOES IT MATTER what other people think about someone else? does what someone else thinks Truly make someone else inferior? do YOU have the right to dictate what someone else thinks and says about another? Doesnt it make you feel powerless to let your feelings get hurt because of what someone else said and thinks?
YOU can NOT control anyone but YOURSELF PERIOD. All you are doing stressing yourself out, just relax and allow people to think whatever they want, becuase in all honesty you have no power over what other people think and do, but you do have power to how you feel about what people do. so another question,
Are you going to stay powerless and let other peoples actions determine how you feel so much that you want to lash out and try to change the unchangeable?
Or are you going to keep your power and feel good about yourself, and others regardless of what anyone else says?
Dont forget that YOU are in control of YOU.
What other people think is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS

Your argument is all well and good until you express it to another being. This statement, what I'm going to focus on, is absolute bullshit. Let's pretend that instead of weighing 65kgs, I weight 165kgs. Your thoughts where you call fat people "the stench of the earth" would be a complete and utter offence to me. I'd think that your words are incredibly unkind, unjustified and a complete and utter degradation upon my personality.
Replace the word fat with black and it's racist. Replace the word fat with women and it's sexist. Replace it with homosexuals and it's homophobic. All of these values are deemed negative by society. Why? Because they are degrading to people. Your words may be justified in your mind, but do oyu know how much it hurts to be called something like that? Do you know how much it hurts to have people honestly and truly believe you are the worst form of being on this earth? I may not be fat but I've experienced this oppression before. It made me very depressed, I hated myself for a long time and my confidence has never fully recovered. It goddam hurts.
When people think oppressive views of other people and express them in derogatory, demeaning ways, it is my goddam business. And further more, it's everyone's business. When you hurt someone so openly and disrespectfully, it is their business to have a viewpoint on your opinion. If you can't see how much one opinion can hurt another, than you truly just don't get it at all.
Most of the time people are fat because they're too lazy to take care when eating, unless you're fat because of some disease, boo-hoo just go on a diet, get outside, problem solved.
Now on-topic:

Well said but in all honesty, I'm somewhat overweight and I don't really take it offensive. It's probably some 14 year old hiding behind his screen calling people names. I don't think he has the balls to say stuff like that to a fat guys (or girls) face.

run your hands across the bottom of the fry holder, the place that catches the drippings. then just look like "sorry," and look at your hands. she will either deny the hug or start licking your hands.
don't listen to anyone saying tell her that you aren't comfortable with hugs, this would hurt her. when she hugs you again, try to make her notice that you don't like that, let go fast and don't get any close to her, she will understand in an indirect way.
Ugh, I'm the type of person who hates upsetting anyone. Even over little things. Although if upsetting her for a little bit means no more hugs in the future, then I supposed it's worth it. = /
As for fat people, I don't really have a problem with them. My best friend used to be massive. Like a good 300+ pounds easily. He trimmed down and is now only like 180-200 pounds. I have a massive amount of respect for him considering the rest of his family is still HUGE. *they are some of the best people I know though*. What bothers me about fat people is that they don't seem to care that their fat. Or at least they don't seem to care enough. And that bothers me since being overweight is extremely un-healthy. I just hate it when people give up and resign themselves to being obese for the rest of their lives. At least TRY to improve your health.
Ice, you make me laugh. = )

make hugging unpleasant, get a bunch of nasty greasy shit on your shirt and give her a GIANORMAS hug. and make sure its way to hard and way too long. then whisper something breathy but appropriate in her ear. "long time no see"
