backward? forward?

It's funny how sometimes people say things that make you wonder what they were really trying to say. Like "you don't look nearly as fat today" or "the swelling on your legs and face really has gone down, must have been the salt". Who says that? What is a real compliment?
I wondered where it came from that I say things that may be off color or out of the norm for me but others around me are really shining thru too.


These hormones are killing me.,,,
