If one more person comments on my body I am going to scream. Here's a great article about just that. The "you're so pretty now" one really got me. Now? Really? Because I was damn pretty obese person too. Not healthy, but pretty!

Here is the link  Thanks for the post, and so so true!!!  Worse than the dying comment (thinks the chic with cancer) is the intial compliment immediately cast with the eyes of "Oh dear God, I just realize you have cancer and you are probably going to die soon. Now how do I get out of this conversation without looking like a total ass, upsetting you? damn"

Seriously.  I'm always amused when people post to complain that no one has noticed their weight loss.  And I just think - omg, I love it when people don't comment on my weight loss.  I don't think that my body should be a topic of conversation!
