Too uncomfortable for me...

Jul 02, 2009

I am getting lots of compliments the days. I'm getting called skinny and skinnie minnie.  I am being told I look great.    Someone actually called me beautiful.  There are lots of comments about me melting away, getting thin and wasting away.  Everyone is always asking how much weight I've lost.  I have also been accused of letting it go to my head and thinking I was a hottie.  (I didn't think there were 43 year old hotties...haha)  Before I lost weight, I always gracefully accepted any compliment.  However, these days I find it hard.  I still feel like the same old me.  I don't want the attention or the conversation to focus on me.  I get embarrassed and it puts me on edge.  Then there is always, if you loose anymore there will not be anything left.  I just want to yell, "People, I weight 183 lbs and I am 5'2"  I'm still square.  I need to loose 40 more lbs and find some curves.  I am a long way from my goal.  "  I know everone means well and I am thankful for friends who notice my changes.  But, being in the limelight is unfamiliar territory and I wish the novelty would wear off.  I actually expend extra energy in trying not to get noticed.  Who knew this would ever be a problem?
