Comments

Re: Comments on weight/appearance (possible TW maybe?)

[(Anonymous)]

She's being inappropriate and unprofessional, and it's a damn shame your boss won't back you up on this. If you think you can get away with it, just give her a short, cheery brush off answer and follow it up immediately with, "So, about [that work thing that's the real issue]..."

Sometimes people get weird and hostile when they see someone else working a change for the better in their lives, because it reminds them they haven't accomplished the same. Or she imagines that because you've been successful in your weight loss, you feel superior to her now... which is her own insecurity talking. You could be evil and treat every single comment she makes about your weight/appearance as if it was a compliment, regardless of what she's actually said. I bet she'd stop...

OP

Unfortunately since she's a client and not a coworker, she isn't really required to be professional. I am disappointed by the way my boss is reacting but since she's pretty great in general I'm going to try not to be too upset by it. And she's mentioned a few times wanting to lose weight herself, so maybe she has her own issues with weight that are influencing her opinion on this...who knows.

And yeah, everyone is making me realize it really is this woman's own issues that are causing her to act like this. I probably need to just ignore her but it is annoying. I halfway thought of saying "yeah, I'm dying" if she brings up my weight again, but I have a feeling I'll get in trouble for being a smartass if I do.

Ugh, that sucks and I'm sorry. It's definitely her, and not you. Sounds like the best you can do is to try and derail any conversations that go in that direction and fake being cheerful. "Oh, Edna, enough about me! I want to make sure we have enough time to go over [your very important project]! [insert barrage of questions]"
