Take a Compliment With Pride

I had the funniest post today from one of my girls. She's always colorful but today it really struck me hilarious when I read it.

I forgot to mention when I was at Caleb's school I got several compliments-always appreciated. To one teacher, I said that I hadn't lost that much weight. She said it looked like it because my face was thinner. MY FACE?! How about my a**?! My face doesn't have to wear pants! You know, the first to go are your boobs and your face. I have both of those areas covered! Let's move the weight loss south of the belly button!

This was my response.

Now, if she had said, "Wow, your butt is hot! I've been looking at it for awhile and I can see a big difference," that would be flattering but a little creepy. How many women do you know that you compliment there butt looks so much better now?

I'm being silly but just trying to make you feel better too. Honey, if your face is slimming out other places are too. It's just easier to tell in the face because we all look at it constantly and there is so little to lose there. Just a touch of fat coming off the face looks dramatically different than some fat on rump.

The lesson here is that we all need to compliment people when they work hard, especially when trying to lose weight because it makes their day. Oh, and a lot of women don't care if you remark that their butt is getting smaller...even if it's creepy they will secretly love it.

 As we say at PNP...have a WEEKend and not a WEAKend.
