Oh, those stages are funny!
Guess I haven't hit stage 3 yet, though in the next 2 months I am seeing relatives I haven't seen since I started ... |
A woman that I see only once in a while asked me if I was okay. She was worried that I had lost the weight because I was sick. She said she always worries about that when she sees someone lose a lot.
A guy in a store I frequent asked me if he could ask me a personal question. It was kind of funny, because he leaned towards me and said it really low. I appreciated that, I like compliments, but not the ones that yell it for everyone to hear type. He asked if I had lost some weight, pretty funny considering how much I've lost, lol! Anyway, he said "you look great!" That made my day. |
Thanks for all of the comments everyone!
I just had a meeting with 3 co-workers that I haven't seen in long time (we are in separate offices) and I got several compliments today. More general along the lines of "you look great!" and so that made my day. :) |
I recently was too uncomfortable to tell one of my bosses they looked like they had lost weight. I wanted to say congrats, but I thought, what if there isn't that big a difference and I'm overstepping here so as to imply this person looked large before?

I think it's great to let someone know --- but if someone said something like "Wow, you look so much better" or something... that would be rude.
|
I love getting compliments... what I DON'T love is people trying to figure out how much I weigh...
"so you've lost how much?" 105 lbs "so how much do you want to lose?" I'll just keep going until I get there... "so what's your goal weight?" at which point I usually say that I'm not telling them how much I used to weigh or what I weigh now or what I want to weigh ;) |
Lori--yeah, I know--the BIG C--it surprised me too!
You are a sweetheart! Hugs coming your way! :) |

"What a strange question." or, "Wow, you're braver than me! I'd feel so awkward asking someone that!" Of course, I can never think of these things at the time. |
