HAHAHAHHA love this thread. We work so hard to get there but its so true its so awkward when people say something. I always just say thank you to and/or smile. lol but sometimes its so awkward like yes and just how fat was my face before? or so i have a shape now? hmmm what was i before? its kind of like oh so i knew i was a *** sack but just how did you used to look at me? lol but thats just me show my low self esteem im working on. its my problem with loving myself and the other half of my journey.
For me its a bit tougher to cuz i grew up with people in my family telling me, "Oh my gosh! Have you lost weight?" with me asnwer, "Oh my gosh! Yes thank you for noticing!" and really i had gained 5lbs since the last time i saw them or 10 but i was gaining. in my family its like the way we validate or make someone feel better about being fat. wich really isnt good. lol
lol but at the same time the comments are quite lovely. (now that i am aactually am losing weight)

But of course I just smile and sweetly say thank you.
