Interesting how we can perceive things differently... with my weight loss and glowing complexion, etc., I too get told often how happy I look now... but I do consider it a compliment... but then perhaps because in my case it is true. I HATED being as fat as I was and even hated being seen in public. Now I am still fat but don't feel nearly as uncomfortable as I did. Also, I know people MEAN it in a kind way and to be encouraging, so even if sometimes their words don't always come out right I try to consider their hearts and meaning, and the fact that they are trying to encourage me rather than insult.
