Best and worst "compliments"

[journeybegins05032013 8]

Two people at work, one who knows and one who does not keep saying " You are becoming a new person" over and over.Um, no I am not. I am the same wonderful me. One time one of them stopped at my desk and shouted, OH MY GOD just look at you... you are hardly recognizable! Ok, really, must we be so dramatic? :-)

Lets all share our best and worst well meaning compliments about our weight loss.

My best was after returning to work after summer break: where'd you go this summer?! I mean where'd you go? Half of you is gone!

Oddest (considering it came from my mother in law): look at you! You're nothing but boobs!

Rudest: wow you lost all that weight and it found me. (Yes I am now responsible for others weight gain)

My best compliments are you look so much younger, you look like a little girl!

Rude compliment from overweight coworkers that are jealous instead of being happy for me. You better not lose no more you going to look like a crackhead. Females of course!

Every week there is always one coworker that ask how much have you lost now! I have started saying, I have no idea I don't obsessive about my weight. It seems they more concerned then I am lol!

But the nicest compliments are the simple, you look great! I know they mean my weight loss and I appreciate the subtlety.

What are yours?

Best- from someone I hadn't seen in a few months. " Wow you look great skinny man".

Worst- you're losing too much weight- Are you sick or on one of your temporary fitness plans".

Concerned compliment- You're losing so much weight, good for you". The relative then went to wife and asked- Was I sick and how sick was I"?

Love it!

Best ...a person told me I looked like the old me again & was acting like the old me' date=' again....meaning my high school/college days - looks & outgoing personality...I don't see anything remotely close to that yet, but this person was sincere...so, I must be doing a little better than I thought. WORST - "you have lost 80 some lbs, so you need to lose that much more & you'll be looking good, girl, right?" - such an @hole!!![/quote']

What a jerk!

Oddest comment- From my husbands 80 year old aunt- "Wow, look... You have a neck now!! A long slender neck. And under all that fat, we see how pretty you really are!" :-/

My husband: "it looks like someone took a pin and popped your butt.".

Oh dear! I'm sure she meant well!

[Healthier2day1227 326]

My husband: "it looks like someone took a pin and popped your butt.".

Uh oh...he's in the doghouse! Although my butt could've used a popping!

My husband: "it looks like someone took a pin and popped your butt.".

Hehehe...my husband said to me exactly the same phrase.

The best compliment was from a little girl who I did not know. I was working and she walked right up to me and said "you're so pretty!" Hearing this from a child was so different than hearing it from adults. Children are just so honest whether we like it or not and it totally made my day.

The worst "compliment" was from my mother. I wait tables a couple nights a week for a little extra cash so my mother proceeded to tell me that I should try to work at a nicer restaurant because now that I'm skinny and attractive they will probably hire me. Like they never would have hired me before.

Best: my daughter told me she can grasp her wrists behind my back while hugging me. Apparently, she couldn't even touch her hands before!

Worst: the extra skin comment...UGH. What the heck do you care what I do with my extra skin?!?!?

Funniest: an elderly lady that comes into work occasionally didn't recognize me at all until I spoke and then she GUSHED for 45 minutes over how fabulous I look now and proceeded to tell me that I need to buy some nighties so my hubby will stay interested in me. Uh, what?

My best compliment was why you look great and them thinking a had a Tummy Tuck because stomach is flat .. The worst was that school started and my son bus driver had seen me the whole summer break if course the first day she seem me she said oh my stop rt there with the weight loss if you lose any more you will look anorexic .. Lol I took it as a compliment because I think she was just in shock about how much weight came off by the summer .. I been call a lot a names and skinny is one I could get use to

Ok' date=' today was my worst: my former boss said "How's the dieting going?"

Me: "Well - I've lost 50 lbs"

Him: "Fifteen?"

Me: "No, FIFTY"

Him: (glances at me incredulously) "Really? Fifty?"

YES, A-HOLE, FIFTY!!!![/quote']

I'm at 55 pounds and not a soul has said a single word!
