to be fed up of people saying how good I look (fabulous related)

[dhdjdbrjrkbr]

I jest in the title, but seriously I keep getting this a lot as I've turned into an obsesively healthy eater and addicted to exercise in th last year.

Every time I hear it I just hear "you used to look awful but are looking a bit better now". Aibu to think you just shouldn't comment on someone's apearence?

Can only imagine how boring it must be receiving such compliments day in day out. . . .

Well, you probably did look worse before!

What were your reasons for becoming, and I quote, "an obsessively healthy eater, and addicted to exercise"?

I'm guessing you understood that one of the most notable outcomes of eating healthily and exercising a lot is that it tends to markedly improve your appearance? This is probably something you were hoping would happen, as part of making these substantial changes...?

You're therefore being disingenuous to think other people won't notice and comment then, really.

are you a bit of a twat op?

I feel for you OP

I get fed up of people crashing cars and falling over because they are distracted by my beauty

I'm fabulous too, irritating when people notice isn't it?

I do it by intelligent insight and witty comments, I volunteer at charities and run my own business employing 100 people, as well as exercise and eating healthily.

So I don't just look fabulous, I am fabulous

(I just generally don't need to tell people)

That May or my not have been 100% truthful

Its better than 'you were such a good looking lassie Lois' well now I like pies, sue me

There have been a few threads like this recently.

We are obviously a handsome bunch

You can't be an obsessively healthy eater when you take all of your six varieties of salt into account.

Meanwhile, here on planet fabulous.....

Wait till they start asking "Are you sure you shouldn't stop losing weight now? You don't want to get too thin!"

Seriously, I am sure they really do mean you look great!

I met an old friend a few years ago and was amazed at how fab she looked and told her so. My amazement was at how good she looked compared to me (when we are the same age) and I wanted to know her secret!! I hope she didn't think I thought she used to look awful!

is that you laq? :)

oh and please do fuck off

Nono seriously my arse has caused a shunt car crash after a youth took the time to yell 'fuck me that aaaarse'
Tits like a bag of spanners though.

This was the best one I have ever heard. Dark humour here so don't get all uppity about it...

Was at a funeral a few years ago, friends mum died and they're Irish so had the open casket.

One of the old boys said to friend...

"Ahhhh she was a good looking woman and doesn't she make a fabulous corpse"

Well! I nearly spat my sherry out.

well post a pic then - we can all have a good 'gleg' then and decide

Fair do's on your new (ish) regime.
Twirl baby twirl.

If you do post a picture, before to post both a 'before' and 'after' so we can rip your confidence to shreds critically discuss.

You probably did look a bit ropy before - so it's probably upsetting because you didn't realise it was so noticable before that you were overweight.

@Alice

i feel your pain, I get this all the time since giving up table salt, so annoying!

I'm not posting a picture for you -bitches- to comment on.

I get flamed enough for pointing out the obvious widening intergenerational inequality around here and have a few -fans- who seem to stalk me...

I thought you were going to say, 'for your age', which can be taken the wrong way.
