... try to convince the person giving it to 'not to be so daft?'
In the past I've always poo pooed compliments asking the person kind enough to give it 'where's your dog', 'you must be joking' etc etc. I'm sure you've got your own, but recently I've had a few lovely compliments and I've accepted them gracefully, I haven't put myself down but said 'yes, I am losing weight and feeling great about myself' which reinforces the complimnet. It does take a bit of getting used to but it's all positive peeps and that can only be a good thing!
P.S. This post came about from my BF who I saw today and said I was looking fab - in the past I would have laughed it off, but today I said 'Thanks hun, I am feeling good about myself, thank you for noticing' xxxx
