I'm looking weight. Slowly, healthy. It's hard getting easier. When ppl ask me if I have lost weight or that I look great, all I can hear is "you look good now - you looked bad before " I wish ppl wouldn't notice. It's embarrassing to me. Anyone else feel that? Is it just me?

    I don't think its just you. I think its common for compliments about our weight or looks to make us uncomfortable. I find it embarrassing too. I have a friend who every time she introduces me lately to someone new says "she lost 80 pounds, I'm so proud of her" I know she is proud and wants to brag for me but I want to die every time she does it.

    Keep up the good work and just smile through it.

    Just say thanks and change the subject. Hopefully they'll realise that it's a sensitive subject for you. Or just joke about it and be proud! You've lost so and so pounds! That is amazing!
