The Backhanded Compliment
 

So the other day, a customer came into my work who hadn't been in for, oh I'd say about 6 to 8 months. He looked at me and he was like "Oh wow!! You had your baby!!"

I blinked. Then realized what he meant.

Dryly, but with a smile, I was like... "Yeah... I started eating healthy and it came out." :lol:

Believe it or not, it made me chuckle throughout the rest of the day... I think he was pretty relieved I wasn't angry! hehe

ummmmm. I would be like, wow, awkard moment.....ha.

HAHA!!! Yeah super awkward LOL, but kudos to you for taking it in stride!

Wow... I probably would have sucker punched him. :D

I'm more like you, that would have made me laugh! Its not his fault I look pregnant when I nosh too many cheetos and bubble teas :lol:

that's pretty funny. i would have laughed and said something similar.

at least you got confirmation of the weight loss being visible to others! :)

That was a funny and gracious reply. Hee hee! I think I would have been too shocked to say anything! :dizzy:

I love what you said! When are people going to figure out you don't say anything about a possible pregnancy to a woman unless you can actually see the baby coming out?! haha

LOL! Well you handled it very graciously!

Wow, Wow, Wow.Wow....Good for you to coming up with the really funny remark!

I am having the opposite problem now. When I tell people I'm pregnant they say, "What? You are?!" And I think -- oh bet you thought I just gained all that weight I had lost. SIGH! :)

I loved your comment seriously it was quick and witty! I probably would have laughed too sometimes people don't think before they speak but at least the whole time he thought you were preggers and not just fat! :)

Good for you for not taking offense. Your comment made me giggle A LOT!

Oh, that is so funny! I'd love to think of something to say like that, but I always think of those things later on in the day. Never on the spur of the moment.

Better to get that kind of comment AFTER the weight loss than before! LOL!
