NSV question

I had a compliment from someone we tailgate with today and it surprised me. Although I'm happy about the compliment, I'm most happy about the way I feel overall. But I'd really like to know how everyone responds to compliments. Please share.

I am always in doubt with it. I have never been one to accept compliments as reality, I guess it is because I am use to people making fun of me

I'm awkward, I always ways say thank you and I still have a long way to go. It's hard for me.

I usually just thank them for saying something kind to me.

I love getting compliments.... but I've never gotten as many as I do now!! LOL My usual response to "you look so great!" (in all its many variations) is to say, "Thanks, but even better than how I look is how I feel -- b/c getting healthy feels great!!"

Of course, to the people who ask "How'd you do it?" (obviously wanting the "miracle" answer, not the hard work answer) I tell them I found the secret: I watch what I eat and have learned to play!! It's amazing how quickly they want to change the subject, LOL!!

My usual response to "you've lost weight" or anything along those lines is "Thanks. I've been working hard at it."

I just say 'thank you' and smile....
