Four times during the past two weeks I've had people I know commenting on my weight - twice yesterday. Not, 'don't you look healthy', or 'looking lovely today', but rather 'you're looking very skinny (with no smile)' and 'you're getting smaller and smaller, you'll disappear soon.'
Why do people think it's ok to say this?! There is an implication that I look too slim, rather than that being a compliment. I would never say to someone 'gosh, you've ballooned since I last saw you.' It's just so impolite.
And now it's playing on my mind that I look unhealthy and everyone thinks I look ill but isn't telling me! For the record, I haven't lost weight as far as I'm aware, I'm just shy of 5'2", and smack bang in the middle of my healthy BMI range.
