When someone says you look like you've lost weight, do you think they are trying to flatter you?

Especially when you know the number on the scale has not changed. 🙄

Whenever I say that, I make sure that they've lost weight. Has to be obvious to me though. But yes, if they know you and perhaps they know you've been working on it, it's a gesture of flattery.

Not sure it's a deliberate attempt to flatter more an attempt to make the person feel good on first sighting in a while.

I mean you have to admit it sounds a whole lot better than "DREAMY !!!! You're nowhere near as fat as i remember !".......🙄

@DreamyCrush My weight has yo-yo'd all my life. I know that when i'm busy, i tend to lose and maintain a lower weight far more easily. I feel good, i eat properly.Sleep regularly. And just feel generally better.
And then of course there are the 'other' times....😣

@Picklebobble2 I can relate. I don't exercise as often as I should, don't eat as well and as early as I should, and I realize it's all within my control, but it gets tough as you get older.

@crazyhorsex Sometimes losing weight can make you curvier. Accentuates them.

When someone says to a person who's lost weight."YOU LOOK GREAT!!!"They might as well just say " Gawd you were an ugly beast before you lost weight!"

I think it’s my outfit I do look more like a bakery in some clothing than others

@Mrsbetweenfatandfit I agree

A former neighbor of mine pulled that B.S on me when wanted to be nosey and get information about something happening in my family.
She was full of bullshit because I was still fat.
The old bitch!
