[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I understand why you're not thrilled that your sister told your aunt about your diet.  But I think you're making too much out of this.  Your sister told your aunt you were on a diet.  Your aunt noticed that you had lost some weight, and commented on it, probably meaning to encourage you.  You lied and denied it, which is just bizarre.  Why not just say, "Oh, yeah, thanks."?  I'm sure your aunt told your sister about your lie, because it's really weird.  [/quote]

But my aunt noticed nothing because the last time I saw this aunt--I weighed the same as I did at the wedding. When I saw aunt before this I was thinner. So I am the same size as she previously saw me at. It was really stretching it for her to comment on this.

Many people are vague about their weight loss. In fact, I was not lying about it-- I didn't lose weight from when she saw me. But even if I did,I may have responded the same way, TBH.

I also felt something when I denied it, she was so sure that I lost weight- it felt fake. That's what made me realize my sister told her.[/quote]

It was a lie.  You are the one in the wrong here.[/quote]

I had not lost weight from when she saw me a year earlier. So for her to look at me and say I lost weight, it's wrong.

She asked if you lost weight.  You had. You said you hadn't.  That was a lie.
 
She did not say, "did you lose weight since I last saw you?"  If she had, you wouldn't have been lying.  But as it was you lied.  Also, how do you know that she hasn't seen pictures of you in the meantime?

I'm sure she will avoid talking to you in the future, as you both can't accept a compliment and are a liar.[/quote]

You sound like a particularly cruel person. One could just as easily say the aunt is a liar because there's no way that she noticed the OP's weight loss if she weighed the same. The aunt was probably trying to validate her efforts at dieting and then for some reason went back to the sister to complain about it. Sounds like an entire family of thoughtless boobs--[b]no wonder the OP doesn't want to discuss her diet or her weight with them.[/b]

And please take note: not everyone finds comments about their weight, up or down, to be complimentary, and several people have pointed out that some people who Lost Weight, Look Great!! are suffering from serious health problems. Although you don't sound like you care much about other people's feelings.[/quote]

But she did discuss it with "them", i.e. her sister.[/quote]
