I too feel furious that people feel they have a right to comment on my body! It's none of their business!!!!!! I've found that, if you're overweight, you don"t even have to have lost weight for people to say you have. It's like you're supposed to be so grateful for the compliment. And if you actually have-some people must have nothing to do but be obsessed with other people's bodies. To me it feels like an insult, "complimenting" me on losing weight is really boasting that they're still much thinner than me. There was a woman at work who lost a lot of weight after surgery complications, she lost the weight because she nearly died, yet everyone was telling her how good she looked. Our society is crazy.
