To think mentioning your weight a lot is boasting?

[Putitdownnow]

To set the scene, I'm very overweight so maybe over sensitive to this, but I'm trying to lose weight and get fitter. Am eating healthier and walking everyday to do 8000 steps at least and 10000 on average. I'm 5ft 7 and am 17 stone.

I would never ever tell anyone in real life my weight.

There is a woman at my work who is very slim. She takes every opportunity I think but maybe I'm paranoid to say that she weighs 8 stone. Says it almost daily. When she mentions her weight, the only other person who joins in is another very slim colleague who also says her weight. The two then sit and look at the rest of us, almost waiting for us to reveal our weight. No one does. I'm easily the heaviest but others are all varying from I'd guess normal BMI to overweight.

AIBU to feel peeved at them? Is this stealth boasting? Or am I a sensitive snowflake on this. Would you happily say how much you weigh to others?

My parents are obsessed about their weight. To be fair now that they are fairly senior, it's hard for them to maintain weight. Generally they'll announce it at dinner time and look expectantly at me ( I'm not slim and have a big frame, do a lot of exercise though ) I just change the subject.

I won't let them do it to DS though. He's stocky but not pudgy but occasionally my DF will demand to know what weight he is. I don't actually know - as long as he's active and his diet is healthy enough and he has been fine at any school weigh ins I don't need to know. I don't want him growing up with a damn complex like me.

They clearly want to know your weight , it's horrible and nit necessary in work at all.

You need a little bell, just ring it every time they say it. Or play bingo with your other non perfect weight colleagues.
