To hate people not quite mentioning my weight loss?

I've lost a fuckload of weight and people are starting to mention it.

But they're always so coy about it.

"You're looking WELL!"

No one ever says it directly, the wimps.

Why is it impoltire to say it those words?

Tbfh, I don't think I'm dealing with it very well, I'd just rather no one said anything but I'm a crochety menopausal misanthrope I think I'd rather be in solitude with my celery and Bovril.

AIBU?

but that isnt about weight or shrinking.thats looking at actual healthmarkers so doesnt matter

How does it not matter? OP says she has lost weight - the things I mentioned could result from a healthy diet - therefore she is "looking well". Anyway my post was nice so I have no idea why you're shitting all over it.

I'm doing keto and so far I've lost over 3st. I get from a colleague "so how's the diet going" every fuckin lunchtime so unless she's blind or a fuckin nasty bitch (the latter) it's obvious I've lost loads but I don't want my arse kissed by insenserity. Plus it's obvious I've lost weight and I'm happy.

Congratulations on your weightloss!
I would absolutely tell you.
But people these days get so offended over EVERYTHING they are afraid to say anything.
Or they might be jealous,lol.
And good for you,it's not easy😊

It is easy.

People lose weight for lots of reason - intentionally, Illness, medication, cancer, stress.

Complimenting direct weight loss can also feed into the mindset and trigger eating disorders.

Therefore indirect is always best.
