JCP 619 Posted November 3, 2014 I saw a cousin today for the first time since my pre-op and surgery. He said he was very impressed with my weight loss (40 lbs). He said I actually don't look like the michelin man anymore. Wow. I just said thank you and changed the subject. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haleytrim 244 Posted November 3, 2014 LOL That kind of reminds me of the Three stooges bit where one is carrying a long 2x4 and turns around and misses the other guy, but continues on around and smacks him in the back of the head! Here in East Texas we call that a backhanded compliment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katcloudshepherd 630 Posted November 3, 2014 JCP, Here in the South we have a saying that conveys compassion for those that are just too ignorant for their own good: "Bless their HEART!." You handled the situation well. Don't know if I would have had the class not to make a comment. CONGRATULATIONS on your success!!!!! Blessings, Kathleen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
