Knowing that there are even more men out there that think this way... I am soooo glad that I have mine :laugh:
"Amber! You've been losing weight! A LOT of weight! ... Your husband must be so excited!!" :huh:
Hahaha NOT "Amber, YOU must be happy" or "Amber, YOU must feel better" nothing like that... the first thing out of their mouths was how happy my husband must be!
This exactly! I was talking to a really nice man that goes to my church, I have become good friends with him and his wife, anyway I saw him at the school when we were registering our kids and he told me "Trish you look fantasic! Your husband must be so happy" I said Thanks but was like WTH? lol.0 -
I went back home to visit my family in Minnesota for the first time since Christmas, and I have lost 35 lbs since then. My grandmother said I was wasting away and a friend of the family said I was melting away. No, pretty sure I'm still here...0

"You have a fantastic figure. I mean proportions and all. I just wish I could have those proportions only smaller..."
UMMM, thanks? I suppose I wish I could have my proportions only smaller too!0 -
From my gyno: "The weight loss is great for the outside of your body, but I wish you could see what your cervix looks like now. It'll make it even more worthwhile..."
Ahem... yeah.

I understood what you were trying to say, but keep in mind that even though a lot of these things that people have said to us may look like legitimate compliments, the tone and context in which said "compliment" was said is what takes a compliment from nice to just plain odd.
Pretty sure it's still creepy for an old doctor guy giving me an examination to say stuff like that. Totally disregarding your douchey comment!
Creepy? Yes. Probably intended as humor, and if you pointed it out to him he'd probably (and rightfully) be embarrased.
Some of us aren't so great with social skills. We try. We fail a lot.
And I've deleted my "douchey comment", sorry it (like many of the other things I try to say) did not come out in the way I intended.
Example: My husband says "Wow, your *kitten* looks great!" <<great compliment
The creepy mailman says "Wow, your *kitten* looks great!" in front of my husband...yea, not so much.
Edit: "You're *kitten*"???? Wtf. Fail.0 -

YES!!! This is exactly what I meant with this thread... MOST times there is an intent of niceness and compliment, but the WAY that things get said are what make these "comments" or "compliments" too funny not to share :bigsmile:0 -

Ahem... yeah.
I think I probably would've rolled off that table/chair thing laughing!
Still very odd but funny in a way.0 -
Oh Oh OH I have another!!!
My gram: I have some clothes for you. I hope you don't get offended that they are 'old lady clothes'.
ME: Oh, gram, you have very good taste. I'm sure they are not OLD LADY CLOTHES.
My gram: Oh good. They are just SOOO big for me, when I wore them I was so fat! But now that you are losing weight, they should fit you well!
Ooooo Kay then! I love that woman!0 -
My ex... seeing me 30 lbs lighter said... "WOW! Your not as fat as you used to be!"0
-
how about.....now that you've lost some weight....can i have all your FAT clothes?
I have some people who are giving me their 'skinny' clothes because they've gained weight but I can't bring myself to offer them my 'bigger' clothes because I don't want them to feel bad that I'm offering up clothes that are too big for me but maybe too small for them...0 -

Called my gentleman friend immediately, told him about it and requested a "second opinion". That led to a really fun afternoon of erm, exploration (?). :drinker:0 -
Coworker: WTH! you trying to be a 20yr old again!?
Me: NO, If I was I'd be drunk and sleeping with your wife!0 -

I haven't had any weird comments about weight loss, but a doctor told me I had a really nice uterus! :noway:0 -

I don't take any compliment very well. I have had lots of women at my gym congratulating me in coming third in our weightloss contest and I can only respond with 'thank you' every time, because I don't know what else to say!
My mother in law likes to talk to other people WHILE I'M THERE about my weightloss. So she'll say to my five year old 'Your mummy looks very nice, but I think she might waste away if she keeps losing weight' or to great-grandma, who's proud of my weightloss, 'Oh yes, but she was fine the way she was!' It's infuriating because this is what I want and I feel like she can't support it! So her backwards, offhand 'compliments' are really quite hurtful.0 -

A co-worker told me yesterday that I have such a beatiful face and that I will look gorgeous if I keep losing weight....
What ever B%^&*..... I am gorgeous anyways :P0 -
I actually have comments that I've SAID to someone before.
My bestfriend's husband used to be about 400lbs (give or take). He was a big boy, as had been. After reaching the end of his early 20s though, he decided to lose weight and get healthy. He's dropped down to about 180lbs. I hadn't seen him in 2 years but I knew he had lost a lot of weight.
My first reaction, seeing him after all that time and all that weight lose, I laughed at him. And not in a mean way. More of a shock seeing him look so different after being used to him being so much more.
I also made a few of the "Where's the rest of you?" type comments and my favorite "I think you lost something."
He got a good laugh about it and then, while still shaking his head and laughing at me, told me to "shut up".
This was 6 years ago. He has since kept the weight off and him and my best friend have celebrated 10 years being married and 13 years being together.
Little does he know, that he's also been a bit of inspiration to me also. He's done it and he's kept it up. I can and I will do it.0 -

Thank you is all you need to say
Is your MIL my SIL??? Cuz really, sounds close to some of the comments that have come out of her mouth. What you could do is follow up with "Yes, five yo dear, mommy is getting healthier every day to spend more time on Earth with YOU, you are happy for momma huh?" and smile wide.0 -
Now I'm bummed that I haven't got any weird comments! I get asked if I'm sick and how much more weight I'm going to lose. I had one friend who hadn't seen in a couple weeks tell me he felt like he wanted to order me a cheeseburger. I chalk that up to people being used to how I used to look. They'll come around.0

My father told my sister I was too skinny. Then just a few weeks later he tells me I should stop working out my legs becaus they look like "football player's" legs.0

"Are your tits getting smaller?" Said no one ever. But still waiting.

Not entirely on topic, but related...
I once told a guy friend of mine congratulations as his wife looked to be expecting...
...except that she wasn't. His reply was, "no, she just hasn't been in the gym as much lately." Another guy was there to witness this whole ordeal and he had a very appropriate WTF/SMH look. I still wonder if he ever told his wife. I hope not.
And that's when I extended my "unless I actually see a baby body part or you very directly say the words, "I am pregnant right now," I will not acknowledge your pregnancy in any way" rule to husbands too.0 -

Oh my goodness my grandma did the same thing...she has lost 113 lbs so far yay for her!! But she offered me her clothes and she was wearing a 4x before she lost weight...The biggest I have ever been is an XL...just one X and now that I have lost weight too...there are NO x's before my L but she thought she would share her 4x clothes with me...um thanks but I am good.
My husband has lost 90lbs and got a remark from my brother in law "you can stop running now because there is no one left to impress" really?? He wasn't doing it to impress anyone (well maybe me...lol) he does it because he was morbidly obese!! *kitten*!0 -
Some of us aren't so great with social skills. We try. We fail a lot. When enough people get mad at us for our failures, we give up.
I hear you on this one. I'm fortunate to be a woman, so social gaucheness doesn't tend to get interpreted as creepiness - but it gets interpreted as *****iness. I have made myself a general rule never to comment on anyone's face or body. Although I've found 'Have you lost weight?' seems to be a safe thing to say.0 -

Perfect! Lesson learned! hahaha0 -
From my grandmother:
"We thought you might be really pretty under all that fat...looks like we were right!" :flowerforyou:0 -
