Weird comments, and how to respond!



Recommended Posts

You know what I mean. You run into someone you haven't seen for some time, and they remark on your weight loss, but in a weird way and you're not sure how to take it. I ran into another mom I know from my sons school (as in not a close friend or anything remotely like that) and she noticed the weight loss, asked what I was doing etc. And then she says "oh your husband must love it!"

What?? What do I say to that? That was weird. Like "nah, he likes his ladies large" or "yeah he was packing his bags before I lost the weight". Awkward!!

Your hilarious! I hate when your standing there not knowing what to say??? Like is it ok to be totally sarcastic? Are they really that much of an idiot?

My reply would have been something along the lines of..."He's kind of struggling now, he is a chubby chaser!"

In all seriousness, where do people come up with this stuff? "Your husband must love it!" Like you were unloveable, unattractive, unworthy of attention...Ugh!

Am dying laughing here.

What un-self-aware imbeciles.

That's a social version of Tourette Syndrome.

Shaking my head!

Invite yourself over to her house and wear your cutest, tightest outfit. Let's see if HER husband loves it.

Btw, what an ass she is.

These are the sorts of things that do not require any sort of response. Just heap a healthy side eye and general snarky disdain.

I can't stop laughing because I have run into awkward questions like that. I am extremely sarcastic so usually without hesitation I would say something off the wall and not expected which I love their reaction to it.

"Actually he's always loved me....Now, what lets talk about YOUR body (or marriage)!"

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
