I was at a gathering last night and a colleague I had not seen for a few months was there. She told me how good I was looking (that has happened a few times recently from various friends and acquaintances) and said that I looked like I had lost weight. My reply was, yes, I have lost around a stone (may be a stone and a half). All down to LCHF. Her reply was, "oh no, you look like you have lost much more, I'd say about 5 stone"
My immediate thought was, did I look that fat before? Was I that fat? I did not know whether to be insulted or complimented! Had a good laugh about it later and decided that I shall take it as a compliment.
It did remind me of a time when I was out for a drink with a friend and a wee old man in the pub starting chatting to us. He turned to my friend and said, "you look just like Jimmy Smith's wife (yes, she was that person), but you are prettier, age has taken its toll on her face".
