What is your best response when people say you’re “too skinny”?

5’8” F 170lb down from 220lb here. Lately I’ve noticed that some of my family, friends and coworkers have gone from complimenting me on my weight loss to “being concerned” that I’m getting too skinny.

I am in no shape or form too skinny. My BMI is actually still overweight, but I am right on the border of finally having a healthy BMI (yay!). I think we’ve become so used to obesity as a society that people can’t recognize a healthy weight anymore.

I had an interaction with a coworker that particularly rubbed me the wrong way when they said I’m “wasting away” and I said “Dude I’m literally still overweight” and they insisted I was lying. Wtf? Lol

I’m planning on still losing hopefully another 30lbs. If the “too skinny” comments have already begun, I can just imagine what’s coming for me. I’m dreading people thinking I need an intervention or whatever other nonsense.

So please help me fellow losers! How have you been handling these situations? I will say I suck at asserting myself so it’s hard for me to just tell people to screw off, haha
