To comment or not to comment……

I have seen many statements like this over the past few years. I remember when Adele lost her weight there was a big debate in the media about whether we should be commenting on people's (specifically women’s) weight loss. 

I think it may be very dependent on the person. But I will give you my opinion……

Hell ya you should! I want people to tell me I look great!!!! I know many have told me I looked great before and I won’t doubt that. However, I didn’t feel great. I knew there was something missing, and internal fire that makes me be the fabulous way I am now. 

I worked my ass off for many years. I put in the time, the sweat and the dedication to look the way I do. So when people compliment me I feel they are complementing the process and not just the weight itself. 

Maybe they are recognizing that you are prioritizing yourself, they see you taking care of yourself and you are giving them the inkling to want to do the same thing. 

So, personally I LOVE the compliments. I get where the angst comes from but when you have put in the work the compliments fuel my energy. It’s what keeps me going, it’s what pushes me to reach new goals.
