Put it back on him. Ask him politely "What's your purpose in doing this?" He probably won't understand what you're asking the first time. You could say something like "Well, I know you're not the kind of person who would say things like this to embarrass or belittle me, so what's your purpose in making these comments?" Don't even accept that he might be trying to shame or embarrass you, because he can't do that if you don't let him. We both know he was trying to embarrass you, either that or he's got the social skills of a baboon. But this, way, you keep your dignity. The guy was a jerk, and you didn't deserve this to happen to you. I'm sorry it did. Here's a cool quote for you "NOBODY CAN MAKE YOU FEEL INFERIOR WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION" ~Eleanor Roosevelt. Be proud of yourself. You've worked hard to make yourself healthy. Keep up the good work.

Six months was on the 7th for me. Isn't this the most amazing thing you've ever done in your whole life? I have so much more energy now. Be proud of yourself! This is a lot of hard work, but it's all worth it. Keep up the good work!!
