[quote=Anonymous]I never comment on other peoples' weight because I think it's rude and you also never know what might be going on (e.g. weight loss could be the result of a health problem).

However, I have relatives and in-laws who love to announce it when they have lost weight and discuss their diets all the time.  I'm sure it would never occur to them that I might not appreciate it if they say I look like I lost weight.

Bottom line, people have different attitudes toward this subject and not everyone is going to abide by your rules for what is rude and what isn't.  In the future, if you share information about your diet with your sister, tell her not to discuss it with anyone else because it makes you uncomfortable. If relatives notice you lost weight and make comments, just say "oh yeah, maybe, thanks" and then change the subject.  If it really bothers you, you can tell them to stop commenting, but know that it will make you seem hypersensitive and they will talk about you more as a result.[/quote]
