I never tell people I am trying to lose weight - my family figures it out, but they never try to tell me what to eat unless I beg them to keep chips away from me or to split a chocolate bar with me for my own good.
When people ask if I've lost weight, I always say "not that I know of" and then they just mutter something about me looking like I have.
It's not that all people do it on purpose, but I find that I just don't need the extra judgement and constant focus on my weight from other people - I am negative enough to myself as it is.
