Today, I greeted my boss with, "Looking good, did you lose weight?" He responded that no, he'd just purchased larger pants. FML

Should have complimented his pants after, was a risky question from the start

That is definitely one hole you won't be able to dig yourself out of, OP.

Don't comment on peoples' weight unless you ask them to - there's way too many ways to upset people. Even if he had lost weight, it could have been due to anything from depression and stress to cancer or an eating disorder.

In other words, don't ask people anything

You can bring up other topics at Thanksgiving besides controversial politics and you can compliment people on qualities besides their amount of body fat. Avoiding riskier topics sometimes isn't a total blanket.

His boss purchased pants larger than normal, OP noticed and assumed his boss had lost weight. Which he didn't.

19, I was confused as to how she didn't notice he was wearing larger pants.

probably didn't notice the size difference on the tag. Unless they only sell pants by color coded sizes in Canada...

Same effect with zero effort. Next time, compliment him on his cunning.

Well, that's another solution to the problem.

If he had to buy larger pants he already knows he's larger, so in a way it was still a compliment. You're letting him know that whatever he did is working and you can see a difference.

But it's likely that her boss was unhappy that he had to buy new pants cause he presumably outgrew the old ones. A solid reminder that he's gained weight AND he has to pay money. Insult to injury.
