Yes...it was a compliment!!!
That was absolutely a compliment! As I get farther and farther out (coming up on 4 years), there are people who are coming into my life that never knew the 'old' me but I still get comments from those who knew me 'when'.
I bet you look fabulous.

Comparison is the thief of joy!
If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished. Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago. I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits! Wherever you are in your journey ... It's ALL good!!!
That is so awesome!! Who knew what a difference a year can make.
I know what you mean. I was leaving work today and my boss who I see pretty infrequently saw me as I was leaving and said "Oh my God Kim, you look great! You look so thin." THIN!! WHAT!
Never in a million years would I think that word would apply to me. But I figured it out today in 7 lbs I will be a NORMAL weight and BMI.
It is so nice to be able to share things like this with others who understand.
It's a great compliment. Soometimes I have trouble accepting them because they come off really weird to me.
For example everytime my brother calls me on the phone she says hey skinny!! I get tired of hearing it cause I am no where skinny and I still have to have this baby and reach my goal. But one day I was a bit moody and he called me skinny and I told him so now you call me skinny all the time I wonder why before you didn't say hey fatty everytime we talked. He was a bit a taken back by my comment but I couldn't help it. lol I need to learn to understand these off the wall compliments i guess.
I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.
Those that mind don't matter, and those that matter don't mind.

Oh - wait a minute - he meant how you look.
