I've had some tactless comments, like...you're loosing those shelves you had on your butt, I could have set a cup of coffee on it before. Hubby said that. But, I'm a tactless person myself, lmao, so honest comments like that don't bother me.
Most have been nice. I don't take the looking good type of compliments badly. Did I look good many pounds ago? No. The how many pounds have you lost question makes me extraordinarily uncomfortable. I never answer the question. I usually just say, "nice of you to notice," or something. This has always come from never been fat people who probably don't realize it could be awkward. One person said, "you look great you **itch!" As far as I know, no one has been intentionally rude.
I just went back to work after a 1/2 a year off because of my accident and one of the doc's I was working with that day told me that it looked like someone took a needle and poked me because I looked like a balloon from the Macy's parade last time she saw me. I think that is going to stick w/me for the rest of my life
I find that I respond with equal tact and bluntly tell them that I find the question to be rather gauche.
