One of my children's teachers told me once, you should be in a "before
and after" weight loss article. (That was after I lost 60 pounds.)

What's the very nicest (or several nicest) comments that people have
made to you?

Yours truly,

Well, I was in a "before and after" article in my gym chain's national
magazine, Experience Life. My ex-trainer ("ex" because he was
promoted to head of personal training in the company and moved to
headquarters in Minneapolis, but we're still very close friends), who
was featured in the article with me, requested as his main Christmas
gift from his wife that she have a framed copy made for his office
(where I have seen it prominently displayed). He said it was like a
certificate of achievement for him, and the thing he was proudest of
from his time as a trainer. That still makes me so happy that I
almost tear up thinking about it.
