Just to add so that you can advise on whether I have responded correctly or not.
Just had a couple of text messages from my wife (missed the first one, hence her second:
1. "Well done with the weight loss, you looked like a different person today. Even [daughter] said she had to do a double take!!"
2. "I assume your choosing to not reply on purpose based on your previous note [Saturday]...sorry, just thought you might welcome the compliment "
I've responded (and you can perhaps correct me and tell me I should have waited):
"No sorry, missed your earlier text. Thanks for the compliment. Doing well on that aspect of my journey and getting self confidence back, a little work to do in other areas but thanks".
She has just responded but I won't reply (as tempting as it is):
"Missed my text!! Good work anyway, apparently [wife's friend who I bumped into on Saturday] couldn't stop singing your praises"
