Yes. In a couple of cases I remember, it was in contrast to them having been very thin before, and wasn’t meant as a negative thing. The man I’m thinking of replied with happy acknowledgement. The woman I’m thinking of also acknowledged it, but there was a bit of denial (and projection) about how thin she’d been before. Yes, people have mentioned when I seemed to them to have gained weight. I expect they were often right. I remember a case or two where they were being a bit maternal and saying it looked good but I was thinking I was overweight from how I wanted to be. Mostly other cases were just “yep” things. I remember one case where I thought it was a little unpleasant/inappropriate but I also wasn’t sure that’s what he was saying and it didn’t matter so I didn’t let it bug me. In general it can make me self-conscious if I am already thinking I’m not how I want to be. Recently though the comments have been about how I’m becoming more trim and healthy, which is true and I’m happy about that as I enjoy getting out and hiking and feeling healthy and so on.
