So very nice when people notice especially when you really need to hear something positive.

Got to post this one in share your nsv's here, I had about the same thing happen to me at the beginning of March , I stopped by where I used to work and one of my old Managers that is like in his 20's looked at e and said dang you have lost a LOT of weight and you look real good , made this 50 yr, Lady feel good , but then I told him I always looked good , there was just more of me , just y sense of humor , he knew it, but I was trying to talk to ne else and he kept staring so it made e feel real good, I know I like the compliments and that is great for you , I bet that made your day for some one to say that you were skinny, I will never e skinny , but I will take healthy and for some one to say that they notice I have los weight.

I am being called "skinny" now..NEVER has my name and skinny been used in the same sentence. I love it. Has it been easy - Heck NO..Would I do this again - Absolutely...

So, enjoy the moment, enjoy being called Skinny and keep up the good work.
