Compliments

It is funny, I am not a vain person in the least. I don't wear makeup (partially because I don't like it and partially because I can't see well enough to put eye makeup on any more lol). I dress OK, but I don't "dress up". My clothing style is a little on the conservative side. My hairstyle is simple and functional. Most of the time I don't even blow dry it, much less style it. I normally don't care about what anybody thinks about the way I look. But this week I have been making rounds at all of my work sites. In my main office, pretty much everyone knows I had a VSG. I didn't tell them before the surgery (well except a couple), but after a week or so back to work I really started sharing. I haven't shared so much outside of my main office. Just a few select people know outside my main office. Well yesterday... I saw a lot of people who I have barely seen since my September surgery. And oh boy did they notice my changes! I got so many amazing compliments on how great I look! And of course some were brave enough to ask what's up. But... for many I just said "I had surgery to fix some problems and now the weight is finally coming off". But it felt SO GOOD getting so much attention! And it helps that I love my new wardrobe. I was actually wearing a simple black dress from Old Navy with a pretty sweater. I don't wear dresses often, but I bought 3 a couple weeks ago that I am sure I will wear with my old "skinny" body almost back to my ideal body (well, minus the boobs... they always disappear when I am skinny lol). Today I am wearing jeans to work with a thin long sleeved sweater. I must say I like the way my body looks. I also saw the nutritionist on Wednesday. She hadn't seen me since 3-4 weeks post op and she was shocked at how good I look. Anyhow, I have been on cloud 9 all this week because of these complements! And a funny aside... one of the employees at one of the sites who works directly under me who DOESN'T know what my surgery was really for told me how someone else went to her and told her how great "her boss" looks and asked if I had that "stomach tie surgery" lol. My employee texted to share, but she still isn't sure what I had done lmao. I may tell my employee the truth next time I see her, but I thought it was very funny!

Anytime I hear complements helps boost someone's positivity it reminds me of:

“Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.”

Proverbs 16:34
