[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why cant you share?  Are you taking an injectable.  I would be flattered she noticed.

How often do you really look a person up and down?

Sounds like you are looking for a reason to be offended.  [/quote]

To be it's like saying...I thought of you as fat!  Even if you mean it as a compliment.[/quote]

I don’t think that’s it. 40 lbs is a lot of weight, that usually means the person was overweight before.  She should have said you look good because I bet you do.  [/quote]

Some people don't want to be judged on the basis of "you look less fat than before, which is good" even if it's true. I understand some people cannot fathom this but it's true for some of us.[/quote]

This is the crux of it. Some people think in very binary ways about weight, where thinner always equal better and fatter always equals worse. If this is your thought process, the idea that you wouldn't compliment someone's weight loss is unfathomable because obviously all weight loss is good and should be celebrated.

Whereas I just don't like other people looking at and evaluating my body. I know they do it, but would prefer they kept their thoughts on it to themselves because I'm not interested in their feedback. I think my weight is no one's business but mine. it feels invasive to discuss it.[/quote]
