Best Compliment

[keithf 2]

My best compliment came from my husband. The other day he was folding my jeans and he said "You know, everytime I pick these up the first thought through my head is who do these belong to. They're so small."

Still on my 2-month pre-op diet.. Lost about 25# so far, and another month to go.

The pants gave me the compliment. They were new about the time I started. They fell off of me, fully buttoned/zipped this weekend.

It amused.

What's grand is the fact that my belt and waistband aren't digging into my overhang nearly as much as they used to.

I can wear shirts untucked without having to peel the the pants (quite painfully) from my waste when sitting at my desk. That alone is worth the surgery.

Customs gave me a hard time about my pic in my passport coming home from Aruba last night! Everyone gave me a really hard time using my license, too....but I keep them because they remind me of how far I've come! My favorite compliment, though, was from a complete stranger at the casino who simply told me he thought I was really pretty---while sitting beside his wife. I appreciated it because he wasn't a guy trying to get something, simply a good guy paying a compliment. Very sweet.

The other day we had 'jeans' day at work and I wore a new pair of blue jeans that I have. In the elevator on the way to lunch, one of my employees looked at me and said, "How do you afford to keep buying new clothes every month with all the weight you've lost?" It wasn't really meant to be a compliment but this kid has never mentioned my weight loss to me before and because I know he was thinking to himself, "Yesterday she was overweight but today she isn't..." it really made me grin.

Also, on the same day, one of my male co-workers came up to me and said, "You look really good- um- but not like in a sexual harrassment way - uh or anything. You just look healthy, you know? uh... bye." I laughed so hard I almost cried. This particular man has known me since before I began losing any weight so it was really nice to hear that from him.

The other day there was this big agency award assembly and the MC called our division up on stage in front of 300 people to give us an award...

After the assembly one gal who used to work with us ran over to me and said:

"Oh my gosh!!! I swear I did not even freaking recognize you!! I saw: Krissy, then kember then i was trying to figure out who that other girl was!!! and it was you jenn!!!" you are skinny!!"

it was a really really cool moment this gal knew me at my heaviest.

my old co-worker was so excited for me :wub:

I had to go wee really bad one day and ran to bathroom and yanked my pants down without even unbuttoning or anything - thinking they were my old stretch pants!! LOL I realized I probably needed new dockers. Amusing and grand!:wub:

Here's the latest one I got. Yesterday I posted 2 new pics on my Facebook page from a wedding I attended a month ago and I got about 20 compliments on them from my friends & family. Wanna talk about feeling good about yourself.
