    A comment like that would annoy me, but it seems like he wasnt trying to be rude.

    I think that it's SO rare to see someone lose a significant amount of weight by simple diet and exercise these days. With all the people getting velashape and gastric bypass...people are just shocked, doubtful, concerned, or just plain uncomfortable with your dramatic weight loss.

    That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you. It's obviously their problem...but try to see the silver lining which is: THEY NOTICED HOW GREAT YOU LOOK!!!

    I have some family and friends that comment like that. Implying they don't think i'm eating enough or getting adequate nutrition. Probably because I've dropped 50 lbs in 5 months. They seem to think I have an eating disorder if I mention I still have 20-25 lbs to go. I really don't think 130-135 is unreasonable for someone who is only 5' 4". I would still probably be an size 8, not even a 6 or 4. Oh well. I think many people have a distorted view about what is an appropriate portion size (I know I did before I started this).
    Anyway, I would take his mindless comment with a grain of salt. He obviously doesn't know what he's talking about :)
