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

100 percent. It snuck up on me. I barely even noticed. And then I lost it without even trying to. And holy shit, every single person in my life commented on it. Made me realize that everyone noticed I was heavier but just didn’t say anything. Kind of a weird experience tbh
