For those of you who used your weight to hide

How do you get used to the attention? I am far from goal, but I am starting to become "visible" again and it freaks me out a little. Like today I was standing on my front porch with my son. I hadn't gotten a chance to change after church, so I was still in dressy clothes. One of our neighbors walks around the neighborhood several times a day. He came around the corner, saw me, and said "Wow, you look good! You look so nice in your Sunday clothes!" I smiled and said thank you, but part of me wanted to run and hide. I know he was being nice and not trying to make me uncomfortable, but it just feels so strange to have positive comments on my looks. Does anybody else relate, and how do you get over it?
