I've had a number of people "concerned about my health" over time.... An old family friend who I hadn't seen in years since getting to a normal size asked if I was "sick". I assured her at the time that the weight loss was on purpose and I was finally at a normal weight, not obese any more as she had always known me (since I was 12). Her husband told me later that she was worried I had cancer!

I've been called "eating disordered" by my (all fat and sick) family. And I've been told I'm "too vain" and that I was "attention seeking" by my jealous now-ex who thought other guys were looking at me too much .

Fact is, I'd rather have people comment that they like the colour I am wearing or the style or colour of my hair than comment on my weight at all . If you want to know what's different about me, comment that I am smiling more or something simple like that..... and if I feel like it, I will tell you how much better I feel and why.+
