Funny compliment at work

princessdracos · April 2012

Tonight at work, I was bent over to put some stuff away, and a coworker stopped and asked, "Do you work out your calves?" I do more upper body work than lower, but I do *some* leg work, so I said yes. She said, "Your calves are MASSIVE!" I laughed and made a comment about how they have to be massive to carry around so much weight, but inside I was beaming. A couple months ago, I couldn't see the muscles ripple. Now other people can see them! I'm also confident enough with the changes I've made to know that a comment about size isn't always an insult. It's a great feelng, and the recognition makes me want to work even harder. I've hit a point where the newness of losing weight has kinda worn off, so having someone comment on my progress has helped me see accomplishments that I hadn't otherwise noticed :happy:

It's also nice to have other people notice as affirmation that the changes aren't just in your head:) If you calves look that good by doing *some* work on them, think of what they could look like with *more* work on them

random comments like that are the best!! I've had customers at work comment before, even through our frumpy uniforms and aprons, feels awesome and leaves you glowing all day!

Thanks, guys! I still smile when I think about it. She has no idea how much that little comment has meant to me

Love those random compliments. I was selling tickets for a concert the other night and one of the customers I've known for a long time purchased her ticket, then leaned in and whispered to me I was looking I must have lost some weight and I was "looking great!" Made my day.
