I was in the grocery store today and a lady employee walked by me in the produce isle ~ she said , will you please stop loosing weight. Said everytime she see's me I am thinner..I was just grabbing some chocolate covered raisins.. yea they were in the produce isle, lol...I do eat carbs, I just finished a bowl of goulash..added alot of salsa to it..hot peppers..mmmmm. ..Said she's worked at that store for 17 years and remember's alot of  faces.. I tell her I DO EAT  I eat about every 2 hours..I told her everywhere I go people tell me that.. May just more noticeable now that i no longer wear baggy clothes.. It's amazing the comments I get now after my weight loss, before weight loss I never got any kind of comments good, bad, or indifferent..Have to admit, I think a size Medium is too small for a woman of 6'0 tall..

So how is everyone doing? ..........Peace     Wendy

Comments like those were the norm for me at one point.  I got alot of that at one point.  It was really an adjustment for others to see the weight loss.  I knew where I wanted to be (although 20 lbs more than I weigh now) but I tried not to listen to all the advice.

Enjoy the compliments. You deserve them.

 There's  nothing wrong with being a size medium or small or even xsmall at 6 feet tall.  Some people are just built long and lean . 

Im sure Ure just gorgeous and thats why people  notice you!

There is nothing wrong with being whatever size, but for us tallies standing at 5'11" and up barefoot, there begins to be a real problem with sleeve length or top length when you go under size L, which can feel awkward.

To the OP, I have the same problem. If you feel kind of awkward in your clothes, maybe take your favorite pieces and invest in a little tailoring, if possible. That way you can kind of forget the size and just know that it fits YOU.

Best,
Lindsey

I got a cooment the other day that was completely unexpected "If you lose anymore weight you are going to fall out your asshole" 

Ok that was weird, would that be like giving birth to myself but through my butt?

she may be well intentioned but that is so rude.

" I tell her I DO EAT "

I would have told her to mind her own business. How completely rude and entitled to walk up someone you don't know and criticize their eating habits!

Okay, I probably wouldn't say that exactly -- because I wouldn't want to be rude myself. But I'd say something to make it completely clear that the topic was NOT UP FOR DISCUSSION.

I really don't understand why people feel like they have to defend themselves to anyone who questions them. You can't win with these people anyway. Someone witih gall to come up and tell someone they don't know to stop losing weight isn't going to listen to anything you say in your defense anyway.
