I agree, if I don't know someone is trying to lose weight I will say "you look fantastic" Its such a half-ass compliment to be told "you look like you've lost a TON of weight"----Thanks a lot.

Most do mean well though, last night DH called me skinny. I am 5'5" and over 200 lbs. I am NOT SKINNY but I knew he meant well. Gotta love em!

I hear ya Wheetsin,

I got called skinny the other day and it kind of irritated me. I have only lost 30 of my 95 or so pounds. Skinny, my ass. I know she meant it as a compliment because she wants the surgery done but can't/won't cut out the diet cokes. She is so proud of me and happy for me, so I don't say anything. I just say, "Eventually."

Also, in response to the original comment: I seriously considered not telling my dad and stepmother. Now I kind of wished I hadn't. I see them usually at least once a week and EVERY time I see them they say something about my weight. I am not going to lose weight everytime they see me. I just want to say something like, "I just saw you two days ago. I am not going to lose the weight THAT fast." Don't get me wrong, I know their intentions are good, but good night. I tell them all the time that I am expected to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week. So don't frigin ask me every time you see me.

Ok, I am through venting. Thanks for listening (reading).

lol

You guys are right. It's neither here nor there. It just bugs me that weightloss has become an everday part of my life in some way, shape or form. I don't like feeling uncomfortable about my weightloss, I prefer to be happy about it and I don't intend to upset others or make them uncomfortable about their own bodies b/c of what I'm doing with mine.

It's crazy, I can't explain.

I know...if I am eating anything my parents always ask me..."should you be eating that" or they are not so direct and simply say "so how's the weightloss going? GRRRRRRR
