Im 8 mths out and nearly at goal and suddenly Im being told Im beautiful...help.

I can imagine how shallow or stupid this sounds but I can't handle being called beautiful. Two days ago, a man approached me in a store and said I was a 'rare beauty' and he would be honored to be able to get to know me. Hey, Ive not changed and I am freaked out that this is happening to me. I have been overeating (and throwing up) consistently for the last 2 days since this man came on to me. I knew I would be more 'normal looking' but beautiful? What does this say about me, has anyone had a similar experience? I didn't have this surgery or work so hard in the last 8 mths to be a tart. If the man had heard me speak or laugh or knew my mind I am sure I would not react so weirdly but I don't want to be 'just a pretty face'. I have always been a woman of 'substance' both physically and personality wise. And now have I devolved into nothing but a face and not the heart and soul I worked so hard to develop during my fat years? If I weren't in such a state I wouldn't have dared post this--perhaps by sharing others can live and learn. I need to figure out why this has created this emotional--I gotta eat--response and get back on track. What have others experienced? Please share.
