maybe an odd question, but how do you compliment someone who has lost a lot of weight without saying "Wow, you lost a lot of weight and look great !" Does that make sense ? I want to acknowledge how awesome she looks 9she was away for six months) without emphasizing that she was big before. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

but does that imply she didn't look great before and her looking good is dependant upon being slim ? I think she has all kinds of issue with her weight. [ Reply | More ]

good point. I think this woman is so great though and I know her DH makes an issue of her weight so i didn't want to say it so bluntly. I guess it's ridiculous to concern myself with it though. She knows why she looks great. [ Reply | More ]
