List of Ingredients
Weight loss compliments are a touchy subject.
It's a double edge sword.
Some poeple don't take compliments very well, and get upset when people don't notice the weight loss or never mention it.
Sometimes people just want to be supportive and just don't know how to say the right thing without that person taking it wrong.
As you can see there is no right compliment to alot of people.
Learning to accept compliments and positive messages about ourselves is difficult for many of us. Instead of graciously accept the compliment as the verbal gift it is, we hesitate to receive them or deflect or outright reject them.
1) I love your shirt/blouse
"this old thing"
2) You look really pretty today
"you must be blind"
3)It looks like you lost some weight
"must be the clothes"
Remember you can't pick how you get compliments. When we receive a compliment, the appropriate responce is t accept the comment for the well-intentioned gesture it truly is with a simple "Thank You".
The compliment-giver may just be right no matter what we keep telling ourselves.Recipe
