Don't take compliments well?

Hi all.. I haven't been on in a long time. I am over 5 years out, and never made it goal weight. I've gone from 365 to 205, but am currently at 225. To this day, if a guy tells me he likes the way I look, I immediately think of all the bad things about the way I look. I can rarely just say thank you. I still see myself as that girl before my WLS. Does anyone else have this problem? Any input is appreciated.

I have this problem regardless of who tells me. I'm slowly learning how to reply with a simple thank you and no snarky eye roll.  And to shut off the voice in my head. Therapy has helped!

It takes practice before it becomes a natural response.  Be gracious and accept it sincerely.  I find that bouncing back a compliment adds sincerity.

"What a nice thing to say.  I really appreciate that"

I definitely have an issue with this, my first thought is yeah right!  I used to run out and eat, but now I recognize that it makes me feel uncomfortable and probably always will no matter what I weigh.

thanks guys.. I'm trying to learn how to just say thank you and smile.. Just a different mindset :)

I usually say,"Thank you for saying that.  That really means a lot." 

I decided a long time ago I was going to be as nice to myself as I am to other people.  I realize I am a work in progress and I try hard at keeping a positive "self-talk".
