Or something of the sort... like, I didn't look good 30 pounds ago? Thanks! And my mom used to always tell me how beautiful I would be if I just lost weight.<br /><br />My brother in law always acted like myself and my niece would "never find a good man" unless we lost weight.<br /><br />Why am I not beautiful to my mother NOW?<br />And a good man will love ME for me and not my body.<br /><br />If anything, those people made me more insecure! They made me eat more! None of them were the reasoning behind my weight-loss, so obviously their crappy comments didn't do the good they were hoping they would!<br /><br />Ok, sorry for that rant, just had to share my thoughts. :Dashleysweighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09325389533847975304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093236590153347708.post-78018525740930905182011-04-21T07:03:06.045-07:002011-04-21T07:03:06.045-07:00I totally understand what you're talking about...I totally understand what you're talking about with people's comments - I know they mean well and they're intended to be compliments, but it's still awkward sometimes. A few months ago I ran into a woman whose office used to be next to mine and she commented that I had lost weight, and then she said "You look so pretty now!" Wish it didn't need the "now" qualifier, but thanks, I guess...Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359034187016317580noreply@blogger.com
