When the compliments outpace the scale/reality LOL

Can't help but laugh and smile when I have people say,  you are gonna blow away or say WOW you are melting !  I know what the scales says and I am losing, but just not enou to justify those compliments!  

I am happy to be feeling better and moving in the right direction.  Thanks to all the motivational post and I love the success stories, please keep sharing.

LOL...oh I know it, how funny is that?  My favorite was: pretty soon we will be able to read the newspaper through you!  But I knew they were cheering me on and I loved hearing it even if it didn't match the reality.  How fun, huh? 

Now the really fun part is when people see me and do not recognize me right away and they don't know what to say.  Mostly, I believe it is politeness as they don't want to seem as if they thought I was an elephant in the room before or something.  One very kind lady said " I honestly didn't recognize you at first til you spoke" and then she quickly changed the topic of conversation because I think she thought she was embarrassing me.  This lady truly does not have a mean bone in her body so I know that is what it was. 

What a hoot and how lucky are we that we get to live it.

One of my dearest friends who lives in the UK asked how much I weighed now.  I said I will never be tiny like you(she has small bones) but I weigh 140 and I am happy with how I look and feel and she said:  I weigh 140 as well!  I have not seen her in years but I always felt like a troll next to her!  Wow.. that was an eye opener!  

Lots of fun everyday.

It is fun and nice to get the compliments and I wouldn't change a thing.  I look forward to the day my ticker says goal reached like yours,  GREAT JOB and you look wonderful and so healthy!

Thanks, sweety

You will get there before you know.  I am stunned to be here already.  

Thanks for the kind words. 

People really do say funny things.

Some of the things I've heard....

At a Memorial service     "It's so good that you could come but I see you left the other half of you behind!"

At Work...  "You are now Wafer Thin!!"

At Work... We have so many people in our Dept that we can go for months without working with the same person. One gal said

"Every time I see you You're half the size you were the last time I saw you!"

I get tired of being called skinny... because I am not. I mean I weigh 215 pounds. Not skinny.  But I know they are all compliments.  I am getting "melting away" a lot.  It is fun.  Enjoy the ride!!

I get a lot of people asking if I've gotten taller.

I thought it was just me that felt uncomfortable with he compliments.  I have lost 32 lbs and the way people act you would think I lost 132lbs.  At work some of the girls yell "Hey Skinny", or "You don't need to lose anymore".  I need to lose at least 100 more, I know they are just happy for me, and making me feel good, but I feel so embarrassed when they yell this stuff out.  I want to hide under my desk.
