Nice NSV (non scale victory)

Had a two nice ones yesterday. Had to visit a client I see once or twice a year and another I saw a few months ago. When I walked in he said "where is the rest of you"? It caught me off guard and I was almost irritated not realizing it was a compliment , once the light bulb turned on I thanked him. The second one was a property manager I saw a few months ago and she kept talking about it ...Kept asking what I was doing and she didn't believe me I didn't do the band or any surgery .... Has anyone else been complimented and not realized it until later ?
