Have you Men or Ladies heard any of the good compliments come your way?

Maybe we have a story or two about how people have started to notice you--the real you...:whoo:

I lived in the same community for 13 years, then moved and had the surgery. I just moved back again after eighteen months away, 97 pounds lighter. Of course I just walk up to old acquaintances when I see them and say "Hi", forgetting that I don't look the same and it's been a long time. I have gotten some pretty confused looks! I have received a lot of amazed compliments after I reminded them who they were talking to! I also got a wonderful compliment from my primary care doc when I went in for a physical. He said I look beautiful, that my skin is bouncing back wonderfully, and then gave me a big hug.

About a week ago I went to my inlaws house and when we walked into the living room my FIL said to me "My you sure are pretty today". He has never said that or anything remotely resembling a compliment like that. I was totally shocked, it made me feel really good and so I just told him, "well you just made me feel really pretty, thank you"! That was by far the nicest compliment I have gotten, I think because it was so totally out of the norm.
