I saw a co-worker today that I haven't seen i a while and he made a comment about me losing weight and I took the wise Jillian Michael's advice and said thank you instead of minimizing my weight loss or saying how much I still need to lose.


When friends tell you how awesome you look, drop the "I still have more to go" crap. You worked hard and you deserve the compliment! ~Jillian Michaels

Thanks Jillian! lol
:happy:

    That's the best! Last week my BROTHER noticed if you can believe it. I was standing in front of him and he looks at me, and just says "Have you lost weight?" LOL, not quite a 'compliment' but he noticed and i'll take it! ;)

    Yes ma'am! I ALWAYS say thank you! It took years to learn, but everytime I would say "Oh no I still have more to lose..." Not only was I being hard on myself, but I was calling the other person a Liar. So EVEN IF I DON'T BELIEVE what they say, if it is positive, I SMILE REALLLY REALLY BIG :-D and say "THANK YOU!"

    Thank you for sharing.
