I have read many posts about people commenting or not commenting on our weight loss. I think it is difficult for people to know what to say (especially if they don’t know about the surgery-which is the case at my work). I think how we feel about the comments depends on what words are used and the perceived intent.
I ran into someone at the elevator the other day who had not seen me in quite a while and wanted to share how he handled it. He simply said, “You have lost weight….I hope it was intentional.” After I replied…thanks and yes it was, he asked how I was doing it. I told him I was focusing on high protein, low fat, low sugar, low carbs and working out with a personal trainer.
I thought he phrased the question well and I will follow his lead if the opportunity arises in the future.
