Re: r u on a diet?"

they ask that if you're not very thin because they assume you'd otherwise stuff your face 24/7

Oooh and if you DO eat, later htey say "zara kam khao/dieting karo" etc.

Re: r u on a diet?"

i would take it as an innocent query anyway. And I will be rather thankful to them for not taking my not eating anything at their place as an act of arrogance. Because I certainly will feel bad if someone comes over and doesnt want to even touch anything I offer them. Will hurt my sense of hospitality.

It's not always a hint or a meethi churi. I'm slender and I've also recieved the "Are you on a diet?" remark from relos a few times when I don't feel like eating. Maybe they're slightly miffed that you don't want to eat something they've gone through the trouble of making/serving, etc. It could even be like a "space filler".....where they don't know what to say after you decline their offer of food....so they just fill in the awkward silence with that comment. Although something as simple as "Well, when you DO feel like eating...please feel free/don't hesitate" would work better.

I understand it's irritating. Some people are just not very good at wording things or just aren't tactful. With others I've found that you can't win...they're only out to look for flaws...can't please em and you shouldn't try to. If you don't think you have it in you to confront the person (in a civil way)....then let it go. Don't let every single thing consume you.

Re: r u on a diet?"

Tell them you've had diarrhea for days. Describe it in detail (color, odor, frequency) so that they also lose their appetite.

Or you could just respond with their question but word it as a tactless assumption: "So how's YOUR dieting coming along these days?"
