You want to switch the conversation away from fat (where you can do nothing but lose) and towards something that is to your credit--thus the reference to the longevity of the relationship. Any conversation that starts with the question "Do I look fat?" is rather akin to Dunkirk. You've already lost the fight for France at that point. However, with some redirection you can save the survivors and fight another day.
