[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate the thought that some one is focusing on my body.  You have lost weight is basically like saying..I think of you as fat.  I know that is not the intention but it is what it means to me.  [/quote]

God, I hate it too. I love my parents but they are so fat-phobic. My mom can recount every morsel of what every person at every gathering ate. I think she knows exactly what I weigh at every moment. I remember once I worked really hard - exercised and dieted to a tortured degree - and got down to 125 lbs at 5'7. My mom couldn't stop complimenting me. "THIS is your perfect weight!" she kept saying. "Your legs...your arms...absolutely gorgeous. Never looked better." And all I could think was please stfu. I definitely took it as an affront to my normal weight (10-15 lbs heavier).

To answer the OP, no. I don't think you should say anything other than, "You look wonderful." I absolutely despise when people comment on my weight in any, even when it's a positive. Stop focusing on my body.[/quote]
