Best Compliment

I have been trying hard not to post before and after pics anywhere until I hit the one year anniversary of the beginning of my weight loss journey (it will be February 2014). Someone saw me yesterday who I hadn't seen in a while and I said what I thought was the funniest AND yet the BEST compliment - they asked if I had weight loss surgery - haha. Nope - just My Fitness Pal!!!

Weight loss surgery doesn't produce guaranteed results. It's all in the mind, and your dedication. Congrats. :flowerforyou:

I can relate. For me the best compliment I have received was from my daughter. She remarked, "Mom, you look like a normal person now". That for me was great because it meant that I no longer was going to be noticed as the fattest person present.

My husband said to the person "I see her everyday she looks the same to me" - uhhhh honey I lost 70 pounds SMACK - haha

Hahahahaha, that is really funny. I love the crazed look people give you when you say you lost weight without something magical at play.

i also am waiting until my one year FITVERSARY before posting the before and after pic. it will be on July 22nd 2014, mark your calendars...YOU will want to see this im also going to do the same thing on fb, where i currently talk nothing about my weight loss. i use instagram for that. So i cant wait to have that BOOM moment. but as far as taking "did you have weightloss surgery" as a compliment, I on the other hand would probably go off and say NO B..I worked my *kitten* off. Nothing about this lifestyle change was easy. Sure its now become habbit. And that makes is essentially easier...but not easier that not being able to eat. theres a big difference there. I know people who have had the surgery and they CAN NOT EAT MUCH. its not that these people i know have the willpower it takes to lose the weight, they seriously can not eat. oh well thats my 2 cents on it.

I am the same way on Facebook - someone actually messaged me that it's all I talk about, they told me to take a rest from it - I deleted them. I post publicly so that I hold myself even MORE accountable because it is public. I am doing whatever it takes to make it work Can't wait to see your pics in July!!
