Question: Why do people keep asking me if I lost weight!??? Do people just say that for the heck of it?
So I am 5'4 and I have always been thin.... not like just skinny but I am kind of athletic to an extent (not super muscular or anything but I do like to swim and I used to run, my point I am not just a stick)
Anywayyy When I come home from college lately my family and a couple friends will be like WHOA you got skinny. I usually fluctuate up and down 5-8lbs. I am 115 when I eat dessert a lot and I am 111 or 112 When I don't. I just don't think there is anyway people can notice such a small amount of weight and I just think they haven't seen me in a while.... but it's starting to make me feel bad like what do I look weird or too skinny? I mean I don't think I look bad and it's not like I am starving myself because I love to eat.
Do people just say have you lost weight to start conversation or something? I don't get it. Friends sometimes tell me this but they are overweight, so to me they always call me a stick (compared to them Iam)
What do you think?

Answers:
if your approximately 110 lbs. on average, a fluxuation of 5-8 lbs. is actually pretty substantial and could be easily observable. a friend who last saw you during a higher weight period might notice little things such as more defined cheek bones or clothes that appear a little looser than they remember.
if you feel healthy you probably are. I wouldn't invest too much worry in it. :)
