    I was about 10 days post partum after having my 2nd son and my in-laws took me out for lunch. An old man was admiring my baby and he said "ohhh he's so cute and you are soooo brave already having another" as he pointed to my belly. Wtf. Being 10 days post partum I was extremely hormonal and ended up bursting into tears and leaving. May have cried for the next week too.

    From a coworker: "You've lost weight. Are you sick?" Who...who even goes there first?

    Got another. My hair dresser told me, not just my face but my whole head got smaller. And I'm thinking "oh great, apparently I looked like the Kool-aid Man before and no one thought to mention it?!"

    In one of John Pinnets comedy specials he talks about losing 100lbs and how people always said "you can really see it in your face!"....he goes into this bit about unknowingly being the kool-aid man. its hysterical!

    Lmao THAT'S where I remember hearing that line first! He was awesome! !!

    Got a stranger email from some stranger, giving me advice on how to be a great father. Telling me I should exercise with them, take out to parks, play catch, shiiit like that. Then said if I was already doing it then keep doing it. I didn't even respond to that weirdo

    I had just blended a meal replacement shake in the break room at work. It had a LOT of things in it, including chia seeds which I guess is what made it kind of thick. It was a mossy green color. Someone eating her lunch at one of the tables saw it and blurted out,"Oh my Gawd!!!! That looks like baby poop!!! Are you seriously going to drink that???" Her reaction made me laugh. I said, "As long as it doesn't TASTE like baby poop, I sure am!"

    Not strange, but most of my comments seem to be along the lines of:

    "Watch you're not going too far now!"
    "You don't want to get tooooo thin, be careful."
    "Noooo you don't want to get skinny!"
    "Mind you don't take it too far, know when to stop."
    "You're not losing any more, are you?"
    "You don't need to lose any more, you're disappearing!"

    It's really antagonising me. I'm nowhere near 'too thin' and never have been. This is the first time in years that my BMI has been in the healthy range, and it's still closer to overweight than middle-ground healthy. I've also never had any issues with eating too little or whatever, people have no reason to think I'm somehow suddenly starving myself to lose weight, I've told everyone who asks that I'm just doing CICO and that I'm still pretty much eating chocolate on a daily basis. I don't know if I'm just taking it the wrong way but I feel like nobody trusts me to stay healthy, giving me the side-eye like I might be concealing an ED. :/
