By anyone's standards that was an extremely tactless, if not downright rude comment! I'm not surprised you felt hurt, celebgran - how would she have felt if you'd said you were 'shocked' at how wrinkly she'd become? wink

People feel they are motivating you when they comment on your weight when nine times out of ten they're being bloody rude.

Am battling with slimming world as some of you know - really trying this time, but I do realise I am at least 2 stone overweight.

I have been this weight for about 10 years give or take 7lb ie I lost 4 or 5 lb and put it back yo ho.
A good friend I was chatting to this morning, saw New Year said I was shocked at how much weight you had put on!
I pointed out that I have n`t!
That remark really hurt me, I know I need to lose weight but not like I suddenly put it all on!!
