When you think you gained weight and everyone tells you "what are you talking about? You look great" :/ anybody have this paranoid thought and keep pushing for more healthy results.....idk....maybe we set the bar to high for ourselfs? Is that good or bad?

    I don't think most people really notice ( or care ) if anyone besides themselves gains or loses weight.

    It seems like 20 pounds (either gained or lost ) is where people begin to notice any changes.

    Also many people've their own view, of what weight's suppose to; look like! I remember when I was 22 years old, at the doctor I found that I was only 1 pound away; via being obese & my 1st thought was: "But I don't have, a double chin!"

    I don't like when people notice and mention or point out that I've lost weight. It kind of makes me wonder how fat I looked to others before, if there's such a difference that they can tell that easily. *If* I notice that other people have fluctuated (I have a hard time recognizing either way - I like to think it's because I'm more interested in mind/personality), I don't say anything because I assume they feel the same way. If someone starts talking about weight loss or working out first, then I'll say something.

    I don’t bring up peoples weight ever. And I don’t talk about it either. If you gained weight and can see it then you know I can see it too. No point in bringing it up. Most people I believe are kind people who don’t want to possibly make you feel bad. A nice person is going to pretend they see nothing.

    I once told a girl I worked with that she'd lost weight.....damn she was angry. Then again we didn't really like each other beforehand so that might have had something to do with it....
