I'm at the point where a LOT of people are noticing I have lost a LOT of weight - which is fantastic, I'm not complaining. But most of the conversations are statements, not questions, ie "You have lost a LOT of weight!" in a positive way.
I never know what to say, and I always feel kind of awkward. I know I feel this way because to me it means they realized how fat I was, which is mortifying but obviously wasn't a secret although apparently I thought it was , and also because they are noticing my body, which is still a little iffy for me.
I always just say, "Oh, Thank you!" and it inevitably leads to questions of what I am doing, so I tell the truth - I really watch what I eat, and I'm exercising consistently. I honestly don't really care if they think I had WLS or whatever, I know the truth.
But anyway, what do you say? I feel so weird saying Thank you, but I feel like it is a compliment. It just feels awkward to me.
