Very odd NSV

So yesterday I was walking to my car outside of a best buy and a guy in a work van yells to me "Hey Man" I thought he might need directions or something so I started walking over and when I get a little closer he says "Someday my body is going to look like yours." I smiled and said "Thanks Man". It was very odd but made me feel great about he progress I have made over the last 3 years.

    That's pretty cool. It has been many, many years since someone has said that to me. LOL

    That is really cool and must have made you feel great. Still, a little on the strange side, but hell, I'd take that any day!

    Thats what my wife said but it really didn't seem that way as he just left and was probably 15 years older than me.

    This is funny but really cool!! So many times as people who are not happy with how we look, we secretly (or openly) wish to look like someone else! It must be really great to have someone wants to look like you!

    Keep up the good work!

    That's an awesome compliment - you are obviously very inspiring!

    I often think that way about so many people on MFP. I see the hard work they put in - sometimes years - toward getting the bodies they want and I think, "CRAP!! YEARS???" But so well worth it!

    Keep it up!
