    If they are someone close to you then I would ask them why they would say that. I would tell them that you lost weight at a healthy rate over 11 months with sensible eating, are not an unhealthy weight and do not plan to be. I would let them know that tbeir comment is hurtful and wrong. You might let them know that they are acting stupid and offensive so they don't say stuff like this again.

    Some people like to drag others down to make themselves feel better. They want everyone to be in the same position as them. Just ignore it.

    Not only because it was an incorrect assumption (and I think it really belittles the severity and seriousness of anorexia, and those who live with it every day.

    You already know what to tell them -this^. Literally say "You know, what you said really belittles the severity and seriousness of anorexia, and those who live with it every day."
