[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been trying to lose weight for my niece's wedding. I'm a size 12, not small. I never discuss diet with anyone other than my DH or sister. That's private to me. I don't want people analysing my body/ weight loss. I don't want comments when I have gained or lost weight.

So, I ended up losing 10-15 lbs for the wedding. Nobody commented since it's not that noticeable, except my one aunt. She commented that I look like I lost weight, I said " no, not really". Because I don't want to talk about it, plus I weigh the same as the last time this aunt saw me.
She says YES you did lose weight.
I changed the topic. Then it dawned on my that my sister told her I was dieting.
I asked my sister if she told her that I was trying to lose weight and she said YES.

WTF? Why would she tell my aunt about MY diet. So weird.

YES I know it's not a huge deal. But would this annoy you?

Nothing about that exchange suggests your sister said something. Unless you're obese or wear very loose clothing, 10-15 pounds is usually noticeable. Maybe not to you because you see yourself every day, but if its a relative who only sees you infrequently, that's a different story.

Even if your sister did say something, you bringing this up would be extremely petty. Do you really want to be that diva relative who throws a hissyfit over nothing on her nieces big day?[/quote]

You misread. The OP said she was the same weight as the last time she saw the aunt, so the aunt wouldn't have seen a difference. I agree that the OP shouldn't bother to mention to her sister as there's no way to make it come out right, but I think she should be careful about what she shares with her sister in the future.[/quote]
