I suppose it shouldn't have surprised me but it did. About 6 moths ago I decided to get in shape. I said I was not going to just lose weight, but change the shape of my body. And I did. Six months later I now wear a size medium sweater where I used to need a large. My pants went from a 40 inch waist to a 34. I can wear my class ring from college, which I haven't been able to for years, and the weight that I didn't set out to lose ended up totaling 50 pounds.
I just assumed that when people noticed, they would see it as I did and would compliment me on my accomplishment. But the fummy thing was that virtually nobody did that. There was maybe one, young person who complimented me. But the older folks went one of two ways. Either they looked at me with worried apprehension and asked if I was all right, or they asked if I had stopped drinking (Yes and no, respectively.) Not disturbing I guess, just not what I expected.
