I hear this often but more so from male to male or female to male . I think everyone has heard the "look at you , packing on the pounds are yeah? " comment from a friend or something . I don't think it's right for anyone to feel comfortable saying especially someone who isn't very close to you even more so . I know some people do it to hurt others intentionally or look better themselves / feel better but it's definitely insensitive . I would only really mention it to someone if I felt like it could be a cause for concern on their health but I doubt whatever you put on was . I like thicker women and not little tiny French fry sized chicks so I couldn't even see myself making the comment but if my partner was just aimlessly putting on weight for no reason and a substantial amount I might mention it but I mean , a female at work or something I wouldn't find it appropriate as it's really none of my business . I think you should chalk it up to ignorance and forget about it , don't let it bother you :) weight is something we have control over and it's a lot easier to lose than a poor attitude or personality so smile in light of that :D when she starts packing on the pounds I am sure it will dawn on her the comments she made .. and it will look good on her , wont it ? smile sweetie , people will be ignorant no matter what day and age ... we just have to look above it and not let it bother us because then they get what they want .
it's funny how that works , someone making comments on others when they themselves need a wake up call . I once had a friend tell me I was getting fat or a "gut" as he called it which I would have agreed at that time I put a few pounds on maybe 10 ( wouldn't call that a gut ) but anyways ... he was like 260 pounds so I thought it was weird when he starting laughing .. since he was teasing me he thought it was funny . I wasn't upset , I lost the weight pretty easily maybe 6 weeks and he is left in the same position doing nothing about his health . The crazy world we all live in .. people love to project their own flaws onto others in the desperate hopes it will make them feel better .
Do some people really think its okay to comment on someone weight gain

My mother-in-law does this to my husband (her son). Ironically, she's more overweight that him.

Yes, it's pathetic ppl try to hurt others to feel better about themselves.
gosh, you type a lot. I'm just way too lazy to do so.

Not always my friend :) sometimes keeping it simple works just as well! I try to contribute as best I can regardless of the depth .
