You might want feedback that tells you something new. But if you're steadily gaining weight and several people have told you, I bet you're less interested in hearing it from another five people every day. Especially if you happen to know that the weight gain is due to e.g. a new medication you're on because you've made a calculated decision that the benefits are worth the unavoidable weight gain, or that you have been eating badly because you're rushed and emotional while caring for a sick parent.
