I'm sure it must be equally hard on your side and I'll have to watch myself around it. It feels, from where I sit, that being thin, no matter how thin or why you got that way, is more socially acceptable. I guess because it seems easier to gain it back instead of having to lose it. But I can see how that thinking is very one-sided.
And for sure, no one wants to hear that they look old or worse or sick or whatever. That is just insensitive. I remember a friend who had cancer and someone said to her "at least there is an upside to this - the weight loss." People don't think.
