You need to only to be proud of yourself and pat your own self on the back for your accomplishments. You will meet a few who will not hesitate to compliment your tremendous weight loss and ask how you did it. And, there will be others as I have found out who I have caught staring at me, or looking me up and down, yet, they would not throw a compliment my way, even if I were their own mother!! It just takes all kinds to make up a world. Some will think you might be ill, and wish not to mention the loss to you and feel they do not know how to approach you. Others will show their jealous side to you and say nothing, yet what they are thinking is readable on their looks and faces, and in their minds, they are thinking, "Wow". Others, like a neighbor of mine who has called me "Fatso" since the day we met three years ago, will just stare and then snicker. As for me, I take the people who ignore the fact with a grain of salt. I am getting healthy now, feel so wonderful these days and know that I am doing something so good for myself. This matters most to me.
But, in the end, those who genuinely send compliments your way without hesitation, are truly, the ones to share your joy with. Congratulations, once again!!
