You've invested in your health.  You feel strong, healthy and happy.  You've gained confidence not only in your body but in your ability to navigate food.  You've gained a wealth of information about nutritional science and a deeper understanding of your Self.

Unfortunately, from the outside perspective, the comments that flood in after a wellness journey are typically around your aesthetic.

We've asked etiquette coach and Positively Proper blogger, Alexandra Bitonti, to help us navigate the comments, compliments, and critics while dieting.
