Thank you for at least some semblance of asking after my health for once, rather than inquiring about a specific absence. Or, rather, as those inquiries didn't seem concerned but accusatory, thank you for not telling me off for once. And on absence, there's this concept called leave, which translates as "working elsewhere".
But it's a start. I don't think that the question, "Are you going on a crash diet then?" is one you've yet earned, and be aware that many people are sensitive about their body image. I'm sure that in your own mind you were trying to be helpful, but it just seems like a criticism at best. "Would it help if you lost some weight?" might be better, but frankly I'd consider the whole thing pretty taboo.
Maybe, and of course this might have some sensitivities, a discreet inquiry after my progress might be more timely? Otherwise, I may have to ask you how your people skills training has gone, and if you need a refresher course.
