My Fav Compliment so far



Recommended Posts

I've been laughing about this all morning and had to share.

Although I haven't lost much weight in the last week or two, something must be happening because EVERYONE is suddenly noticing all of this weight I've lost.

I work in a large high school with a fabulous custodial staff. Today, I was walking next to one of our custodians who speaks very limited English. When I said, "Hi!" she looked at me and her eyes bugged a bit and she said in very broken English, "You is skinny! Yes? Es good! Es good!" For some reason, I found this hilarious. I thanked her for noticing and giggled to myself as I walked away. By far my favorite compliment thus far.

Yes, I is skinny! Es good! Es good! :bounce:

I am a teacher and one our custodians commented on my weight loss too. It was so sweet of her. Congrats on the NSV! I am sure many more will come!

This brought a smile to my face... I love it when things like this happen... I can understand why you had a lil chuckle to yourself.

I am a teacher too, and for the most part the kids in my classes have been either, really kind or they haven't said much... anyway, around Feb time one of the older boys said to me 'Miss, what is with all this weight loss? What is the matter with you? You don't want to lose too much more'!!!! I just thanked him and told him that I would take it as a compliment...lol

Didn't have the heart to tell him I had a load left to go!!

The one thing that the kids, and staff are impressed with is my boxing! One lad said 'Miss you were well 'ard before, you must be solid now!' Again this tickled me and I took it as a compliment! (Imagine it with a welsh accent... very funny!)

Coops that is so cute. One of my students who has been out taking classes at a community college for a couple of semesters and hasn't seen me for a while walked in for advising last week and got a shocked/surprised look on his face. "wow! You look great!" the look on his face was really funny. I don't get many comments from students either. I think they think it is impolite to say anything. Seems a number of us on this board are teachers.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
