So I am doing pretty well with my new lifestyle and the scales are moving in the right direction. But I am struggling with peoples comments and even though I feel good about my weight loss I am starting to feel self concious!!
My weight loss isn't dramatic or particularly rapid but my work colleagues have started commenting on how skinny I am (as if!) or simply look me up and down and say 'you've lost weight'. This is always followed with comments on how I should stop or a patronizing 'are you eating' or worse comments about how big I used to be!
None of these are compliments so I can't just say thank you and change the subject - but I can never think of a polite response which is appropriate and closes the subJect. It's not that I want compliments - I would rather people didn't mention it. Thee was even a conversation about weight loss being a sign of serious illness!
I still have quite a few pounds to lose - and I am dreading the comments intensfying.
Please ladies - any witty/ smart / miss manners style come back?
