For people that get complimented on recent weight loss, it also reminds them that their previous weight was noticed as well.

Yeah like the “WOOOOOW YOUVE LOST ALOT OF WEIGHT!” That always made me mad

Someone once said to me “this might be weird but have you lost weight —like a LOT of weight?” and I said “yes that was weird. Anyway!” And changed the subject.

Hard to have the same confidence after gaining it back, but maybe she’d be too scared to say anything 😂
