And all the Zelebrities are jumping on the bandwagon.
No I don't think it was right to call her chubby.

It's getting ridiculous. I've lost a bit of weight (I really needed to) and loads of people keep telling me I'm looking good...'you've lost weight', 'looking skinny', 'looking good'. I like it! I don't take offence. But I did notice on the weight loss thread on here that people are offended if they're told they've lost weight and look good. I don't get it? To me, I want people to notice I now look a lot healthier instead of very overweight.Maybe I'm just old, but is it really so unacceptable to say to someone they're looking healthy? Now all comments about appearance are strictly offlimits?

I lost over 3 stone and everyone kept telling me i looked great and healthy but actually i was extremely ill due to chemo.It's getting ridiculous.

I didn’t appreciate this until someone really snapped at me about it- I thought I was being nice and learnt a lesson that day.I think Alex actually missed the point a bit. Steve Allen knew he was being a head when he said that comment, he knew it would affect Tilly - that's the whole point. He's a misogynistic head.
He's right though, commenting on someone's weight is risky territory and should be left well alone.
He does and she just posted this!Just noticed… he doesn’t follow Ellie on Insta anymore, broken up?
My friend has just lost 4 stone, she was so happy when I told her she looks great and was so happy to talk about her body and weight loss.Maybe I'm just old, but is it really so unacceptable to say to someone they're looking healthy? Now all comments about appearance are strictly offlimits?

Thats 1 person. Not everyone feels that way. I also lost a tit load of weight but i was on chemo. Ive never been told how great i looked before then. Everyone kept telling me how healthy i looked, i would always say its ashame my medical records don't feel that way.My friend has just lost 4 stone, she was so happy when I told her she looks great and was so happy to talk about her body and weight loss.
I think it depends how well you know ther person, if you know why they have lost weight (could be for a health problem for ex) or it might be triggering for someone with an ED. I always find it strange when people I don’t know well commentMy friend has just lost 4 stone, she was so happy when I told her she looks great and was so happy to talk about her body and weight loss.
I think common sense on that one would not congratulate someone losing weight on chemo, it is all relevant to the person but in general most people will like the compliment apart from in your example.Thats 1 person.

but that is why I say you need to know the person well, you might not know they are going through chemo so could inadvertently be really offensive/upsettingI think common sense on that one would not congratulate someone losing weight on chemo, it is all relevant to the person but in general most people will like the compliment apart from in your example.
Thats the point... You don't always know the reason behind why someone has lost weight.I think common sense on that one would not congratulate someone losing weight on chemo, it is all relevant to the person but in general most people will like the compliment apart from in your example.
