Good Morning All!

Just having a cup of skim milk this morning . . 

Mary it's funny that your talking about this because I got my "ultimate" compliment yesterday and I giggled all night about it.

While I was out picking up dog do do  . . (of all things) the neighborhood "hottie" came over and told me he has been stalking me but in a nice way . . he says it may be out of line for him to say but he wanted me to know that he finds me very attractive for an older women . . he is 38 and his children play with my grand-daughter . . I just stood there with  a dumb look on my face I'm sure . .  .  I told him thank you and as he was walking away he said that when you feel something nice like that you should share it.   Of course my son who wasn't far from me heard it and how he wants me to stay in the house . .  lol
I don't talk compliments well  . .  I still see myself most of the time at 300 lbs . .  I'm really trying hard to work on my self image.

Enjoy your day!

WOW - that's very cool he said that.  I'm sure it wasn't easy for him to do either. 

I would have had the dumb look too - and first thing I would have thought of is "my hair looks like a mess" - LOL  or I didn't have any make up on....

Jody it was really cool but very uncomfortable for me  . . I'm always out of my comfort zone when I'm taken off guard . .   . . Congrat's tomorrow!

Way to go Kristy...........so is he single? 

You go look great, and I am honored to call you a friend.

Kristy
sort of sounds like he was crushing on you!

You mentioned he was 38, are you worried about an age difference?  Age don't matter. Is he married? He might be feeling you out for one of his friends.

Remember when I ask what your next step was at the cider mill and what you said.
This could be it.!

How dose it feel to be the Hot Grandma in the neighborhood? LOL

What better compliment to have received.

Morning Michigan.  
I'm  drinking protein hot chocolate.   Don't like it so wont make it again.  but it does have the protein I am trying to get in. 
Quiet day  here  will probably do some walking in the woods looking for pretty leaves,  the girls love making pictures of them,  I have several old picture frames so its a good project for the little ones,
QOTD I too have trouble accepting compliments.   I have got so I simply thank you,  You just made my day.   Maybe they feel good also having given the compliment?

Good Morning All,

Drank my grape protein drink, got t he vitamins in and now I am working on water.

QOTD I too am working on being able to say thank you and not point out all my problems area.  I usually say thank you and I'm working on it.  I am having a problem with people saying "what are you doing"  If its someone I know, like or feel that they may benefit from wls I tell them,  My problem is when I don't know the person well or don't care for them and they keep pushing to know  " how did you lose all that weight" I feel like I am lying to them by not telling them I had surgery.  This is happening more and more.  Any suggestions?  any one have a good response?    I hope you all have a great tuesday!

Lisa,  My response, if I don't feel like I want to tell them I had WLS is to say, "I'm eating a high protein, low carb diet, drinking a lot of fluids and exercising".  That's not a lie at all.  It's exactly what I'm doing.  I have a cousin who's daughter had WLS and all she did was bash her daughter.  I don't need her talking behind my back with those same comments, and she doesn't need to know my business.  She's two faced and I don't trust her, so I keep my business to myself.  She herself could use WLS, but I don't think she's healthy enough to undergo it.

I say   "thanks you,  and I feel great to !!!   When they ask me How I did it and I dont feel like going into the explanitation  of why I chose WLS.   I tell them that Im drinking  70-80oz of H2o and getting in 60-100gm protien,  taking vitimens, eating 4-6 sm meals a day and playing with my kids every chance I get.   :o)   

I tell them Im Just living LIFE !!!!!   isnt it great !!!!

Good Morning All,

Strawberry protein for me this a.m.  That is my normal.  I wish I drank coffee because I am cold ALL the time now. 

QOTD--If the compliments come from a friend or family member I take them better.  I can just say thanks and move on.  I work with lots of people and it's those compliments I don't care for.  I have people I don't overly know at work tell me almost every day how much better I am looking.  They will also ask how much weight have you lost.  Like that is your business!  I smile (fume inside) and say I'm not sure, or have not checked in a while.  Why would you ask somebody you don't know very well that question??
