I don't think anyone has ever told me I had a pretty face or excused my weight due to my four pregnancies.  However, I have gotten, "Oh, you're not that big..." and "But you carry it so well!"  

I only carry it well because my head is gigantic!

I've gotten that a million times too. "But you have such a pretty face." Ugh. It's the "but" that kills me too. I never know how to respond. Uh, thanks?

 I . ABSOLUTELY . HATE . THAT . PHRASE !!!!

Sorry for the emphasis.  I have heard it so much during my life that it's like a slap in the face.

As my weight loss continues, people are more likely to just compliment me on how I look and don't say that as often.  But when they do, it really ticks me off!

Sorry for the vent!
