It definitely hurts when you find out what people used to think about you, but they don't think about that when they are saying such things. Also a lot of people think it's OK to put down your previous fat version of you once you are no longer in that form. Kind of like when people tell you what a jerk your boyfriend was after you break up with him. I think those kinds of comments reveal a lot a...http://www.traineo.com/14_5723_0.htmlSun, 20 Apr 2008 16:01:32 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_5723_0.htmlyes, sue i agree with that. i like that " we are our best cheerleaders." so true!! sorry you got that "compliment." i understand how you must have felt.http://www.traineo.com/14_5723_0.htmlSun, 20 Apr 2008 14:45:02 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_5723_0.htmlHi There, One of the first "compliments" I got was from a co-worker it went something like this: "Wow.... you have really lost weight.... like.... what ... a ton?!?!" I had the same reaction as you, instead of feeling any good from the comment I felt like I really must have been a "two ton tilly"!! People are clueless.

Jen, you know it well that you have worked hard to lose that much weight. It is not an easy thing to achieve. You should be proud of it. When anyone making comments or complement negatively, s/he is just jealous.http://www.traineo.com/14_5723_0.htmlSun, 20 Apr 2008 05:52:41 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_5723_0.htmlA compliment is something people say to make you feel good. That guy just probably said the truth how he perceived you. It's not a compliment per se but still you should feel good about it because your hard work is visible to others. But to be honest, I already get annoyed when people say how much weight I lost. What annoys me is how they say it: a. hinting that they could never do it. And I'm tempted to ask them to pull the string of my little Obama doll: "Yes, we can!"...http://www.traineo.com/14_5723_0.htmlSun, 20 Apr 2008 03:11:31 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_5723_0.htmlI don't mind it when people say I lost a lot of weight... its means I succeeded http://www.traineo.com/14_5723_0.htmlSun, 20 Apr 2008 01:05:17 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_5723_0.htmlminu-thanks. i see what you were saying. splint-yes, he should have said that. as far as minus pics, if you put them all together she would be headless http://www.traineo.com/14_5723_0.htmlSat, 19 Apr 2008 22:34:56 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_5723_0.htmlcouldn't read the whole thread, but relish in it - it's a testament to how amazing you're doing WOW!http://www.traineo.com/14_5723_0.htmlSat, 19 Apr 2008 22:06:26 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_5723_0.htmlSee, that guy wasn't smooth, what he should have said is, "Oh my, you're even more beautiful today than the last time I saw you."

This is simply what I was referring to, the fact that due to your weight loss, he didn't recognize you; THAT is speaks volumes. His delivery is another thing entirely as tact is unfortuately on the endangered species list these days... Still no reason for you not to enjoy the fantastic changes you've made. ...http://www.traineo.com/14_5723_0.htmlSat, 19 Apr 2008 21:39:01 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_5723_0.htmlminu- he didnt fail to recognize my weight loss? he just didnt acknowledge it with tact. thanks chris.http://www.traineo.com/14_5723_0.htmlSat, 19 Apr 2008 21:27:49 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_5723_0.htmlit's a compliment. dont take it otherwisehttp://www.traineo.com/14_5723_0.htmlSat, 19 Apr 2008 20:59:30 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_5723_0.htmlAnytime a person fails to recognize another who has peeled off considerable weight, it is clearly a compliment.

Though in my opinion, it may be a little rude for folks to actually estimate to your face just how much you lost! Still, people know how hard it is to lose a lot of weight, so yeah, I feel it was meant as a compliment.
