oh do i hear this one. sheesh. especially on the "how much weight have u lost?" comment- its almost as bad as asking a woman how much she weighs IMO. a coworker actually said to me the other day "hey skinny!" im thinking ugh- how dare he- im "severely overweight" and this guy is calling me skinny. is he making fun of me? even the people who are like "you look great", etc. is usually from people who know i am "dieting" and i feel like theyre saying that just because of that, yano? i just say thanks and try to get myself out of that situation/ conversation asap. i wish i was more flattered like people tell me i should be, but im not- its totally offensive. im so glad im not the only one! and i too posted about this elsewhere and was told to lighten up and take it as a compliment, etc.
