Is it not wanting to insult or something else?

I didn't read the other replys yet so I'm sorry if this repeats. Recently my boyfriend and I saw an old friend who has lost close to 50 pounds. The change is wonderful and my boyfriend was so happy for her, but he didn't say anything. I asked him later why he didn't let her know how great she looks. His response was that he doesn't want to offend her by implying that she was overweight before.
It might be the same with your loved ones. My family has a constant struggle with weight and some of my relatives are sensitive about the subject so we don't always bring up the topic. My mom has found that if she lets us know when she reaches a goal we can jump up and celebrate with her.

Actually very good point. My kids didnt say anything so i asked them outright and they all said where they could see it most. I asked them why they didnt say anything and they said it was because they didnt want to as it was saying i was fat before.
