I don't want to sound like I'm making excuses for the guy, but is there any chance he was kidding? Any hint of sarcasm at all? I just wonder, because it does sound so terribly rude, and you guys don't sound all that overweight to me. At 5'10', 197 is barely overweight for a guy, isn't it? And you being so tall too.... it just doesn't sound like you would look all that heavy. But I guess it all depends on how you carry your weight. I know we're all different.
But, in any case, even in jest, those comments were awful. It's hard to convey sarcasm in an email. But even that's no excuse for such comments. I think you should explain calmly how those comments made you feel, and see how he responds.
Enjoy your New Years' plans!
