Why do people think it’s okay to make disparaging comments to me about my weight and how can I reply?

Asked by chyna (51306points) December 26th, 2017 from iPhone

I’m a smallish person but have lost some weight recently due to an illness. Different people, including relatives have made comments about my weight knowing the reason I am smaller. My SIL even bought me pants that would’ve been too big before I lost weight saying “You’ll gain all that weight back.” So far I haven’t said much back but I’m sick of it. It would be the same as if they were making comments if I were over weight, which I doubt they would do. How do I respond or do I just keep my mouth shut?
