I get it all the time, but then I'm 6'6" and 12st 10lbs. I don't really mind it...partly because a couple of years ago I was 21st, so it's only natural for people, especially those that haven't seen me for a while to be quite shocked by the change. I don't get any 'skinny' comments from people that have only ever know me this way.
The one thing that irks me are the ones that won't stop with a quick comment and keep hammering on about how unhealthy and wrong it is because 99% of the time the ones that do that are the overweight ones that harp on about how hard they've tried to lose weight and how there is just nothing they can do etc etc. Reeks of bitterness.
