Do you want people to comment on your weight loss?

Absolutely I love it when someone comments! I am amazed at how many people don't like it. I've got to be more careful about commenting, lol. It makes me feel so good to be normal now that when someone comments I am encouraged to keep it off. If it's someone I don't know well I just smile and say thanks but if someone asks about it I'm happy to share my experience. Guess I'm the weird one now.5

I love it, nothing better to me than someone asking if I’ve lost weight.1

I can't even see it in the photos I have taken of myself in the same position in the same clothes yet. So I am looking forward to not only the day I can see the change myself, but when other people notice. When people start noticing I will feel accomplished and hopefully, it will be motivating. I heard that at 20lbs you start to notice and at 30-40lbs lost other people notice. I'm moving up past 16lbs lost now so not so far to go.2

I'm not fussed if they do or they don't. I don't like it when they comment and get weirdly defensive/justify their own physical state, like me losing weight is in some way a judgment on them / indictment on them. I find those people weird and kind of annoying. I'd rather they didn't comment then instead of having to tell me how much they love food, how they don't have time to waste on exercise how they want to enjoy life more blah blah blah. Those people don't want to listen when I tell them that I'm still enjoying life, that I eat what I want - just carefully - and eat within my calorie budget but can still enjoy all the foods I used to ...
if people just comment factually or are nice about it, then I'm ok with it5 -
It depends. A person who gives an occassional compliment, 👍. A person who constantly comments, 👎.
But, it also depends on how it’s phrased...compliments that end with “now” (you look great now or you are so pretty now) or compliments from people stating how “proud” they are of me irk me.0 -
All we can do in life is control our own behavior and our responses to others behavior. Some mention weight loss to be kind, supportive, or curious. Other's never mention it..fearing to be nosy or not wanting to put a person on the spot. No one mentions weight loss to be cruel intentionally.
So.. I roll with it .... it is all pretty harmless either way.1 -
It would be nice if people commented on my weight loss because sometimes I can't tell if I'm getting any smaller. Comments make me feel like all my hard work is paying off.0
