Lost weight and people still make weird comments about my body

I’ve been working really hard over the past year to lose weight after reaching the heaviest, most out of shape I’ve ever been and having a bit of a wake up call. Ended up losing over 25lbs of fat and putting on a good amount of muscle.

Ever since losing the weight, my friends and my own partner keep “joking” about how they are disappointed that my boobs and butt are smaller now. Throughout my life, I’ve ranged from being underweight to overweight and even after losing weight, I’m still not at my smallest (nor do I want to be, but people actually had less to say when I was underweight). I usually just smile and say something like “yep and I want them smaller,” and then they hit me with the “we’re just joking. Lighten up” line.

At the end of the day, I can do things I used to not be able to do both when I was underweight and when I was overweight, and to put all this hard work only for people to minimize it by still making negative remarks about my body is frustrating.

Thanks for listening to my rant if you made it this far.
