Best and worst "compliments"



Recommended Posts

Said about me to a friend at her office after I had stopped in:

"If I was the director, I'd hire him and keep him around the office doing stuff just so I could look at him!"

My best compliment "Holy ****.... you are hot!"

This was from a male colleague / coworker I have known for many years but since we didn't work at the same location he hadn't seen me since I was over 300#. He was very embarrased as it was not an appropriate thing to say in a work setting... but i loved it. :)

I can't really think of a bad one....

Blue, that was very rude, but your story did give me a good laugh. Some people really have NO filter!

Today:

Friend I haven't seen in about a year: "Wow, you lost a LOT of weight! When did you lose all that weight?"

Me: "Last week."

Seemed nicer than saying "You haven't seen me in a year - when did you THINK I lost it?!?"

My worse and best compliment when getting scrutinized at the border...in BOTH directions...because I no longer look like my passport picture. I was scared they weren't going to let me cross!

I figure people have seen me gain and lose so many times already' date=' they probably figure they're wasting their breath ;)[/quote']

This is how I feel as well.

I've been complimented on my hair when I had done nothing to it, been told I look much better without my glasses when I don't wear glasses...people can't always put their finger on what has changed.

A male nursing assistant on my unit complimented me on my weight loss but warned me to not lose too much because "a dog won't chase a bone if there's no meat on it". Uh...ok.

Best: my daughter told me she can grasp her wrists behind my back while hugging me. Apparently, she couldn't even touch her hands before! :)

Worst: the extra skin comment...UGH. What the heck do you care what I do with my extra skin?!?!?

Funniest: an elderly lady that comes into work occasionally didn't recognize me at all until I spoke and then she GUSHED for 45 minutes over how fabulous I look now and proceeded to tell me that I need to buy some nighties so my hubby will stay interested in me. Uh, what?

HA HA HA out of the mouths of babes and old people. Neither have a filter!

Bit of a left field comment from a male friend was that my thighs are getting too thin ... for what???? Another guy asked where my butt went... Neither has ever made any comment about me before, so I didn't know they cared lol!

Fav compliment you are so tiny". Not really but i am getting there :-)

My dietician takes the prize for the comment that means the most to me " you are nearly normal" Laughed my head off but knew he was referring to my BMI!!!!

This reminds me when my ex Sig other came from grocery store and said "i was looking around the store and i think you are now normal!"

All I ever wanted was to be normal looking so it was a compliment but funny.

I had a new one (to me) yesterday. I ran into a guy I used to work with and he moved his hands in a kind of hourglass shape and said in his cute British accent, " You're... You... it looks...well, there's less of you, isn't there?"

Yup.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
