Somebody said this to me today:

"You've lost weight! You look so good now compared to the first time I saw you!"


I have lost approximately 5 lbs.


Yes.

[malibu]

Well there's a backhanded compliment if I ever heard one.

[Doc_Lobster]

I know, right? It was hard not to laugh.

[snipsnsnails]

Ha, I would have had to bite the inside part of my cheek to not bust out laughing.

Nice.

Yesterday, the dental hygienist complimented my "new, better hair color". I was all, "uh, I've never colored my hair..." (Awkward silence)

I just say shit back like- hmm I must have looked terrible before. God people are D-U-M dumb.

I am 100% sure it was intentional. Which is what makes it funny.

Perfect- esp if it was on purpose. What a douche

Right? Who says this?

It reminds me of when I had a bad stomach flu over Christmas break one year in college. I came back looking drawn and sickly and barely able to move. And lots of people, including professors, came up to me to say "you look AMAZING." Ha. Thanks. I look like I've been throwing up everything I put in my body. Yep.

You've got to love ballet dancers.

Yep.

I first thanked her very enthusiastically, then told her that I had dropped a few pounds to help my running because I am am doing a half marathon in about a month (to make it clear that I didn't do it for appearances) and then told her that I had my RMR tested and that they calculated how many calories I need per day to lose or maintain. Then I said that she should definitely make an appointment, it is so worth it!
