A very good friend of mine saw me today at work, and complimented me how skinny I was getting.  Then he asked what I weighed now.  Uh?

So I told him that asking a woman what she weighed was considered rude (he's from Ireland, so maybe a cultural difference?).  He followed that up with "no, asking you what you weighed 6 months ago would have been rude, but now, look at you!

I took no offense - he's a good friend, but have been laughing about it ever since!

I think that asking anyone, regardless of gender, what they weigh is pretty rude!  And I would be floored if one of my friends said, essentially, "oh, well I can ask you now since you're not fat anymore."  That would seriously get a big F-U from me and a reconsideration of the friendship. :|

Some people just don't know how to pay a compliment!

I ran into a person I met once 2 years ago and he asked how much weight I've lost.  I usually don't care when friends or family ask (or even someone that I friended on Facebook).... but when someone who you met once in your life asks, it was weird!  I just said "alot" and that there is still room to go.

I guess I am a little different than most.  I share my weight with whoever. It is what it is.

Jennifer, I do too, and I did after he asked.  But I do think it's the first time a man asked me what I weighed!  Almost nothing offends me, and there are no skeletons in my closet 'cuz I've already told everyone they were there!
