What to tell people who will actually mention your weight gain ?

[Anonymous]

If you gained weight due to health reason but you dont want everybody know your business and the person brings up the weight gain or asks you if you pregnant what would you say ?

Yes, I have been sick...

I would pause, look confused, and say, wow, that’s rude.

I can’t imagine anyone actually asking, except maybe my mom but if it was health related she would know.

In your case, I would actually want people to ask

Quite a few serious medications cause weight gain for a variety of reasons. Also some disorders are associated with weight gain, like thyroid problems.

Ugh. It’s people like you.

I gained weight with chemo — as the chemo nurse told me would likely happen.

OP, whether they mention it or not, they notice it and are probably talking to others about your weight gain. So, it kind of comes with the territory. You gain weight and people will notice. I'd rather them just come up to me and ask instead of talking behind my back (which they will do anyways).

It just is what it is...people notice.

They might surprise you and not say anything.

OP did someone ask you this already or are you expecting someone in particular to ask you?

Lots of meds can cause bloating and weight gain. Steroids, antidepressants etc.

Just look at them and don’t say a word.

Are you serious? Who would actually bring this up and gossip with other people? Eveyone involved would like like a total jerk. It's almost more outlandish as someone bringing up to your face.
