Comments from other people on your weight loss

If I DID find a wishing well and I knew that it was solid and secure, of course I'd tell people I liked where I found it and what I threw in it to get my wish.

Admirable. Not everyone will share their good fortune.

I used to fish at Lake Merced ( north ) for trout. There were a few guys who would be coming back with fatties that would tell you where and what bait they used but most would not. Hell, I'd tell 'em where and SHOW them my bait set-up. I called it The Triple Decker. Foot and a half or 8" leader -sliding 3/4 or 1/2 ounce weight. Slide about 1&1/2" of worm butt over the hook onto your line, then add a small marshmellow ( still laugh at what my friend's kid Joey called 'em: "marshlullens" ) which covered most of the size 6/8 Gamagatsu hook and then a salmon egg on the barb. Toss it out...let it sit for 5 min...if no nibble lift rod and gently "hop" the bait a couple feet across the lake bottom. My pic was on the bait shop window most months with some slug I'd caught.

Does anyone else really not like getting comments from other people on your weight loss? Even the "you look great...you've lost weight" comments make me want to shut down and end the conversation. I'm not sure why I feel this way or if anyone else feels this way too.

I guess I want people to think I look healthier/thinner but not to actually say it. Maybe it's from years of losing followed by the inevitable gaining back.

Same. When people ask or comment I'm looking good I just say, "it must be because I'm in love!" and then everyone laughs and laughs because I've been married for 25 years
