Weird Complement~
Today I was in my office with my assistant manger and we were giving out reviews to my staff. Oh a fun time of year! Anyways after one of the reviews my assistant manager said " I don't know how to say this Angela but, since you have lost weight you breath better" Man that caught me a little off guard thinking boy was my breathing horrible before, did people really notice that!! UGH that was weird. She then tried to clarify that she meant I talk so much better with less breaths in between words. She meant it as a complement. I think its so weird but, I do appreciate her willingness to see changes in me and express those to me.
Has anyone ever said that to you??
What is the weirdest complement you have received since you have lost weight??

I have realized that I breathe easier..I always noticed before when I left a message on someone's voicemail and then listened to my message before sending it..that I sounded out of breath! I don't notice that anymore.
Yesterday I had a coworker ask me if I was the one that has WLS..and I said yes...and she said " so, diet and exercise didn't work for you?"
gee....why didn't I think of that?? * sigh* She is also pretty overweight, I figured she'd understand. 
My HUBBY is a "heavy breather". His doc asked him to lose about 50 pounds, and I'M hoping it helps his breathing, 'cuz it exhausts ME to listen to him working so hard to get the air in & out! And yeah, I'm sure I used to do it too.
As for the strangest compliment? I still can't get used to people calling me "skinny". 'Cuz I am NOT skinny! I have YET to break below 220! Still technically obese for 5'11", I'm sure. But I've heard that quite a few times... I'm SO not graceful with that stuff!

Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
Best wishes to your husband and the breathing. I might think about this more when others are talking now!!
The skinny comment is hard to take I understand. I look at it this way I am skinner than I was so to them perhaps I am skinny to them. I don't see it in me either.
You are doing amazing Darla!! Wishing you all the best.

I think I could go on and on with this subject!!! LOL! I WAS taken a back a bit by a comment yesterday. Just chatting with some people about Wii Fitness and I said I wish I had one and the lady gave me this look and said "WHY? You don't need it YOU'RE skinny"......
I thought for a second(my brain is still in the "overweight"mode not skinny) and then I said to her "Well, the only reason I am "skinny" is because I had gastric bypass and lost 150 pounds nearly"...she got quiet and then I said "plus, I think me and my girls would enjoy it in the winter when it's too cold outside to do anything"......
I got home and thought about this. She didn't know. No biggie. THen I thought, MAN O MAN, I really hope I never said anything like that to people before I had RNY!! I mean, just because I had RNY doesn't mean I don't work hard at keeping the weight off and I am sure those that are skinny w/o WLS work hard to keep every pound off too. It's hard for me cuz being on both sides now I see things differently ~
Sorry for the ramble!
CONGRATS! to you on a COMPLIMENT
