<human>: He has been on a diet and this morning he said, "I lost another pound!" I congratulated him and asked him how much that was total, great job, yada yada. 

Then I told him about an article I just read about a girl trying to lose weight when her friend had confronted her and asked her if she had let herself go. I thought it was a silly/stupid article, and I was kinda rolling my eyes at it...because the author revealed that she had indeed gained 15 pounds and was 'fat and miserable' and I couldn't believe her friend would confront her over 15 lbs. 

ANYWAY, he then said to me, "Do you think you've let yourself go?!" 

***Cue awkward pause*** 

and I said, "Do you think I've let myself go?" 

Then he quickly backtracked and said, "Oh I was just quoting the article...thats what her friend said, right?" 

I said, "Why would you say that?" 

and he said, "Uh...I was just wondering that myself. I didn't mean it. I mean, I've definitely let MYSELF go, don't you think?"

I didn't say anything after that. 

So...does he think I've let myself go? Is that what that awkward conversation meant? Should I talk to him about this? I'm kinda pissed that he said anything...he KNOWS I know I'm overweight and already dieting, AND busting my ass at the gym AND seeing progress!...Should he have said anything? I'm feeling really insecure right now.

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: Hubby asked me if I thought I had let myself go, backtracked, now I feel insecure. How do I handle this?
