[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because people look better when they're less overweight.

That's the truth.

It's rarely the case that someone is going to lose too much weight. If they did, they wouldn't be complimented either. Too thin is also a bad look, but let's be honest, it doesn't happen very often.

That's also assuming the weight loss was intentional.   That's why you don't comment on people's bodies, you have no idea what's going on.  It's pretty easy to just find something else to say.[/quote]

This.

You also should not comment on people who gain weight.

It doesn't matter if the person lost weight unintentionally, like if you worry that they're sick. Do you comment on people who gain weight unintentionally? Tell them they look fat and ask how their mental health and stress are?

Or, if they gained weight intentionally to try and put a little meat on.

It's absolutely rude to comment on weight any which way - gain or loss, unless the person brings it up first. I've been both obese and thin, and it's astonishing how many people think your body is for their comments. [/quote]
