So i just thought i'd share these with you ladies since i know you'll appreciate them. I seriously love my FMIL, but sometimes she could use to censor herself just a bit. Like last night:
FMIL: "How much have you lost now?"
Me: "About 15 lbs"
FMIL: "Your stomach looks flatter, but not your butt"
And another one (same night)
FMIL talking to another guest at our house: "When he met her, she was like this" **holds up one finger to signifiy i was skinny** "Now she's double" **holds out both arms**
And i'm just going to laugh it off because if i don't, i'll go crazy. At least my stomach looks flatter LOL

Re: WL Journey "Compliments"
Sounds like you've got a good attitude about it though...keep your head up and be proud of your flat stomach (and all your hard work!)
I havnt gotten many in person comments from anyone to be honest though, she only comments when I bring up how much ive lost, no one else has noticed or commented. The only people who have are online people who saw my progress pics a few weeks ago.

I've actually gotten the most compliments from my FMIL & FSIL. That might be because I see them less often than the rest of my family, but I'll take it. I think the most flattering thing is when people as what you're doing that works so well & actually try it! So far I have a couple friends who do 30DS & my step-mom and I have a 'work out' night where we'll do pilates or power walking (kinda goofy, but it's a good 'together' activity.)
everybody else is super supportive so i just try to brush these types of things off.

Nebb- my mom this the same way. She is the reason why I developed my issues with food in the first place. When I was an adolescent she would always tell me I was too fat (even though I was a healthy weight) which made me feel self-conscious and put on weight. I do think it's a generational thing! They think they are being helpful, but it does a lot of damage!
Also, Nebb- I saw your before and after pictures. Don't let it discourage you that people haven't said anything to you about your progress. You are doing great! Keep it up, weight is just a weird issue that *SOME* (not OP's FMIL) people are afraid to talk about.

As far the the "compliments" go, that made me giggle. Reminds of how when I have an occasional pimple (luckily I have clear skin most of the time) and there always that person who points out, "You have a bite right there." Thanks idiiot...it's not a bite, it's not a bug bite, it's a pimple and thank's for pointing it out to me.
UGHHH...people.
