Just "lookin good" would do.
I got stupid. The money was too good.

Well, that I did say. But it is a shame; because if someone loses weight, it is ok to compliment them on the specific fact, but if they gain weight, that is often taken as a bad thing, even if it is good for both looks and health.

Eh, guys are safe. I had many people compliment me on gaining weight back after college, when I was merely filling out a previously scarecrow-like frame rather than overshooting into fatassitude.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think complimenting on weight loss is weird, too. Especially because so many people lose weight due to illness or whatever.
Edit: I mean, I've had a lot of people JUST say "You've lost so much weight!" like that by itself is complimentary. But "You look great" is always appreciated.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

This. I'll always appreciate a "You look great." Specific weight comments will frequently hit me a bit weirdly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Specific weight comments will frequently hit me a bit weirdly.
Yeah, me too. I've never managed to gain or lose significant weight on purpose, yet people will comment cheerily on shifts.

Absolutely pouring rain here. What a dreary day. We were going to take Emmett skating, but I am disinclined to venture out even to get into the car and drive in this muck.
I'd much rather play with my music.

Today, I not only got soaked by a car driving by, I also, all on my own, stepped right through a puddle. FUN.
Or the other thing.

I got one load of laundry done and dried before the rain kicked back in. Really need to rig an awning over our outdoor dryer. I'm paying for recent slackertude by working much of the weekend on review charts due Monday at 10am. Feh.

What a trip. Phoenix is also rainy, like SF. I never have the same weather as Hec. I hope it means there's a portal or something.
