Compliments

Sunday evening I think I received more compliments in the space of two hours than I have in any other two-hour period! I was at a function where several of my friends who HAVEN’T seen me for at least a year and a half where present. So comments on my weight loss came thick and fast. But what I really noted was the fact that many added that what struck them the most is how happy and energetic I seem. Definitely! I can’t emphasize this enough. If anyone with a lot of weight to lose reads this, please realize that losing a significant amount of weight will make you feel TOTALLY different! What I DO NOT like are the people who ask “So what do you eat….?” What I eat will not necessarily be good for someone else. A person who wants to lose needs an eating plan that fits THEIR likes and dislikes, THEIR schedule restrains, THEIR activity level and metabolism.

I lost 15 kilo almost 3 years ago, and I still get compliments.
Yes, people want to know what I eat and if I starve myself. I tell them the truth. I eat a lot.

I'm glad you found a way to lose weight.

I don't see what the problem is to tell others (while saying that your eating plan is geared for your nerds and might not be appropriate for someone else). Some ask what you eat in the hope that it will inspire/encourage them to get back on track to eating better/healthier/more slimming choices.

I usually do give a brief idea, but tell them that they need a plan geared for them....
