Eggplant or Aubergine Recipes

One of the most annoying things about losing some weight are the compliments. I know that people mean well but there's a part of me that cringes when someone says "Oh wow you've lost SO much weight!" and their hands go from measuring a size that effectively doubles their girth to something smaller. I know it's often meant as a compliment but it has me thinking "How big did you think I was in the first place?" or indeed that irrational part of my brain says to itself, "Wow I have no idea how big I was!" The logical part of my brain (yes there is one) has to then take over and say "You've only lost one dress size, calm down" but all the while, the "compliment" rattles around in my mind.
