Best non intentional compliment

 I have two minor bulging discs in my spine causing some frequent but minor pain.

So when I went to the pain management doc, when he lifted up my shirt in the back to take a look at my lower back, he noticed the skin and said, "Did you used to be overweight?"

Seriously...that was like one of the best feelings ever.

Did I used to be overweight?? What the hell. You mean I'm not overweight at first glance to people anymore? This is madness.

That is a great feeling. I had knee  surgery and one of the nurses asked me if I was finished loosing weight and I told her no had alot to still go and she looked at me and said by looking at your face it does not look like you need to loose weight lol.



My surgeon gave me the tool. Now it is up to me to use it right.

 That is pretty cool.  At first glance of the topic I don't know if I would have been happy having heard that from a person.  But coming from a Dr., thats gotta feel pretty good.  
You've done wonderful with your loss.  Great job!  I hope your back issues can be resolved quick and easily.

I had a lady tell me "You look just like my brother", she showed me a picture, this guy was tall, skinny, shaved head and goatee....I said maybe if you add a little weight...then remembered yeah, we do favor a bit.
