♥ Yeah. People flinch quite a bit when I go "Oh, yeah, I had an unidentified tropical virus and was sick off and on for months," and I do do it on purpose because I find the commenting so obnoxious. I never ever comment on weight loss--I've been an RA, so sometimes I've had to recommend monitoring of students, but that was done based on many more things than appearance. Many many many more.

What do you mean, how is "eat something" not a helpful comment? *facepalm* More body-shaming: really not a great idea when you're talking to anyone at all, let alone when you're talking to someone who has more than the run-of-the-mill everyday kind (I love the society we live in, truly, I do). I'm glad you're not in that mental place anymore. *hugs*
