All Hail Kix!
I'm not sure what is in the air today, but I've been getting compliments everywhere I've been.
During yesterday's workout at the rec center, I was chatting with one of the senior ladies I'm friendly with, and she asked if I was still losing. We talked about how frustrating those last pounds are, and she asked me how much weight I've lost. I told her, "You won't believe me, but I've lost 310 lbs." She was gobsmacked.
She must have mentioned it to her husband and some of the other seniors we chat with while exercising, because a bunch of people came up to me to praise me for all my hard work and dedication, and to tell me how much they admire me. 
I went to the park for my walk and an older man I see there every day walking his shih-tzu came up to me and asked me if I'd lost weight because I look thinner.
At Whole Foods, I ran into someone I know from the warm water pool, and she asked if I'd lost weight recently. "You look fantastic!"
My head still spinning, I came home and ran into the neighbor on the right side. I don't see her too often. She came over and said that every time she sees me, I get smaller and smaller and she thinks that's terrific. I stopped by the neighbor on the left side to return his escaping poodle, and he remarked that it's neat I'm walking a mile every day. "Keep up the good work, it shows!"
I swear, a girl could get a fat head. In some ways, I feel guilty when people say they admire me because the way I look at it, it was either lose weight or die. Nothing admirable about that. On the other hand, all this praise could give me feelings of megalomania, turning me into some kind of overlord!
