I saw a cousin today for the first time since my pre-op and surgery. He said he was very impressed with my weight loss (40 lbs). He said I actually don't look like the michelin man anymore. Wow. I just said thank you and changed the subject.

You are a better person than I am. I don't think I could have let that pass without comment.

I so wish it was not illegal to punch rude, obnoxious people!

LOL That kind of reminds me of the Three stooges bit where one is carrying a long 2x4 and turns around and misses the other guy, but continues on around and smacks him in the back of the head! Here in East Texas we call that a backhanded compliment.

However insensitive, you did the right thing.......take the compliment, smile and go on about your business. Ya can't fix stupid.

JCP,

Here in the South we have a saying that conveys compassion for those that are just too ignorant for their own good: "Bless their HEART!."

You handled the situation well. Don't know if I would have had the class not to make a comment.

CONGRATULATIONS on your success!!!!!

Blessings,

Kathleen

Sometimes some people just need a high five across the face!

Tell him you lost weight by taking a high intensity crotch kicking class, then show him what you've learned.

Yall are so funny. I still am amazed he said that! It really didn't hurt my feelings because I was too busy thinking he was an idiot! Lol!

[BellaLuce4 261]

I just don't even know what I would say to that, I might have just burst into tears!!!

I'll have to follow your lead????

[JCP 619]

Nah, if you knew my cousin you'd just shake your head and blow it off. Every family has one!
