Unexpected compliments?
Ok, everyone here has gotten a full assortment of compliments on their weight loss. Last week, I got one that I wasn't expecting, but it stuck with me through the week. I was walking to another department at work, when an older woman came up to me and said, 'Did your mother ever tell you that you have great posture?'. I told her no, that I'd actually always had bad posture. I thanked her for the compliment and went on my way.
I loved this compliment, because all through my life, I'd walked with a bit of a slouch and this contributed to the cold/shy/closed aura I enclosed myself in. The exercises on my back and abs have really straightened me out and I feel much better about myself. I look taller (and thus thinner) stronger and more confident.
Anyone else get a compliment about something like this? We've all gotten compliments on our weight loss, but what about muscle build or posture or complexion, etc? Usually people are too occupied with the weight loss to notice that you've improved elsewhere as well.
