Euphemisms

Isn't funny how people don't want to say "gosh you've lost weight" for fear of upsetting you?

The things people most often say to me at the moment are:
- oh, you look well!
- your hair looks nice
- have you been doing lots of swim training?

All of these things are welcome, but I know that they really all mean - didn't you used to be fatter?

What I love best though, is the look of surprise on people's faces when they haven't seen me for a while - you can't wrap that up in a euphemism!
