Within my first hour at the office, the first person I ran into looked at me and said "I know there's something different about you. I want to ask if you've lost weight but sometimes you just can't go there." We had a chuckle and I confirmed that I did lose weight. About 30 minutes later, another person looked at me with similar commentary.
I understand that some folks are uncomfortable with commenting about somebody's weight loss because of the fear that it opens a can of worms. For example:
- "You look great. Have you lost weight." So are you trying to say I looked terrible? Are you trying to say that I was fat?
Not for nothing, I appreciate the validation and the compliments.
