She thinks she's fat.

My wife's always asking me if she looks fat. This really bothers me as a comic, because the whole 'women always think they're fat' premise is so hackey.
And yet she asks me about it so often I just have to talk about it.
I mean, I know yes is wrong. That's easy enough. Any man who doesn't know that yes is wrong deserves what he's got coming to him.
And you can try 'no' but when I do that she usually says 'you're just saying that to shut me up.' Which I am, so I don't really have a response to that.
So I tried something different, I said "well, baby, I don't think you look fat, but if you do want to lose weight, you could go to the gym."
Everybody I've ever told that story to seems to know that that was a wrong thing to say.
