I have only heard two comments about my weight. The first from the former assignment secretary of our chapter who is also a bit heavy. His comment was "we both need to lose some weight...you seem to be the only one doing it."
The other was from a partner after a game. He was complaining that after 13 years he is getting mostly sub varsity and has not been given a reason and how he was looking for someone to help him change that. I told him I only worried about the things I could control...figuring doing my best on the floor, spending time honing my rules knowledge, working to improve mechanics and getting my weight back into control would cause my schedule to improve. His reply was "You seem sharp and have good mechanics. As for your weight...sure, keep losing. You may be called fat by some, but you can change that. I had a veteran partner last week that will always be a smarta$$ jerk and a lousy official because he refuses to work on the craft. I will call with you anytime."
I appreciated the comment...just took it with a grain of salt. If you believe the compliments...you have to believe all the negatives said as well.
