Love when someone tells me that I look different, but then asks, “Did you shave your beard or something?”. Yea....I guess that’s what it is.

    "Yes, my beard was quite heavy - I was ready for a change"

  • looking good. What's funny is even people close to me telling me they don't remember me being "THAT" big.

They are probably being polite, they know you’ve lost weight but they don’t want to sound rude by mentioning it.

And they will try to hide their embarrassment by asking Did you cut your Hair or Is that a different outfit? They aren't quite sure what to ask you, I was dumb enough to ask a friend Do you have Cancer? Nope just a sleeve and she had lost over 25 pounds. Even when heavier she always dressed well, nut there sure wasn't as much of her as the last time I saw here. Still feel stupid asking though.

You look amazing! Great Job!

"Yes, my beard was quite heavy - I was ready for a change"

People are super weird when it comes weight loss and appearances changing.

[emoji6]. It's an incredible change. You look amazing. Betting the beard bit is mainly blokes. Shamelessly stereotyping, but in my long anecdotal experience it holds true.

looking good.

that's not the same person STOP IT...…………...

Congrats you look great. Come on you would never just ask a person.... Did you lose weight?. It's their way of opening the conversation up. At least that's nice. I'm getting are you okay, your not sick are you?. Lose the equalivant of a middle schooler and people assume you are sick...
