I'm feeling much better today, after an evening with girlfriends and wine and a successful meeting this morning, over which I had been worrying and stressing quite a lot.
During the early part of the evening with girls and wine, an acquaintance I hadn't seen in a few months approached me with the following comment:
Her: Hey there, how are you?
Me: Just fine, thank you.
Her: You look great! You've been losing weight - good work, keep it up!
Me: Huh?? Whaa? Hmm...
Due to the fact that (1) I thought I looked okay now/a month ago/whenever regarding weight, and (2) I'm not trying to lose weight, and didn't think I needed to; should I be offended?
Was I so fat before that I needed to lose weight? Did she used to think I was fat, and I had no idea? I'm no skinny mini, but I'm pretty average ... Her comment left me with a weird taste in my mouth and no desire to "keep it up!"

Wow what a comment! What are you supposed to say? "Gee, thanks, I think?!"
Is it possible she hadn't seen you since you were 9 mos pregnant? Good grief?!
And of course, I hit "post" too quickly, remembering that you would have done anything to get to 9 mos....
What an odd comment!
