Excuse my "FRENCH" but I hate that sh#t! I can't stand when people make comments like that. My mother and I were at the mall 2 weeks ago and she saw an ex co-worker. The lady hugged her and they talked and out of no wher she says "Are you gaining weight". My mom smiled and said "Yeah, I gained about 10 lbs." I was p*ssed! When we walked away my mom said" I am just going to stop eating". People don't realize what an emotional rollercoaster we ride on, and it just erks me! I believe people are just waiting for us to fail because they think we took the "EASY WAY OUT". I do believe it has a lot to do with jelousy as well. Even if the person that is saying it is thin. Your not the "OBESE" co-worker anymore, and that ticks them off for some reason! Erin
