A WOW, I almost forgot to mention

When I went to my exercise gym today, there was a newly hired woman at the front desk. She asked for my ID #, which I gave her. She looked at the computer screen which showed my picture, taken 6 months ago. Then she looked at me, then at the screen, then said slowly" Uh,....I don't think so." I said " It's what I looked like before I lost 85 lbs. and had a nose job." She looked around for someone to help her, a manager, I guess, and then said "There is a problem, here." Just then, my old friend, Lisa, appeared. When the new girl told her the problem, she laughed and said " I know this lady! I have watched her drop the weight and change every step of the way. " Then she winked at me and said "Welcome back, we missed you. Your nose looks great!" Man, they have my business for life!!!!!

What a wonderful way to return to the gym!!! BRAVO for you, Lou Ann, BRAVO!!! (((((skinny hugs))))) wendyb

Thanks for the skinny hugs!

Hehehe... I got this situation at the bar last week. I handed the female bouncer my Military ID and she handed back saying, "Nice try but this is a fat black lady and you are a skinny white b***h!" My friends that were with me lost all self control right there and started laughing so hard one girl sho****er out of her nose! I looked at her and said, "That is me with an extra 80 pounds, and even though it is a black and white picture and I just happen to be from Detroit, I have never been called black before." (The bouncer was african american) She was like, well you had the nose of a sista before how did you loose weight there?! I was like I didn't it is just not stretched across my fat face anymore! I had to go back to my truck and get my Michigan drivers license (it's in color) just to prove who I was! Needless to say she was shocked and later that night she offered to dance with me to make up for the mistake! Hehehe.... It was just all too funny! I am going to a club with friends up here on Saturday and I just know I am gonna get hassled again! Thankfully one of the bar owners knows I have had WLS so I shouldn't get hassled too much! Maybe tomorrow I will just go to the MI sec of state and get a new ID picture taken. I wanted to wait on getting my military ID retaken until I was at goal weight. (Hubby reinlisted INDEFINITLY this time, so no more chances to get a good photo in before retirement, so I want to look my best for my last DA photo....LOL!)

O.K., your secret is out! You been passin' (as we say in the deep south) Ha,Ha,..... big black woman....skinny white b@#ch! I'm gonna go bar hoppin with you girl! You know how to party! Ever been to a Texas Ice House? The lowest form of bar on the planet. Drive-up to the bar or the pool table and order a tall cool one, cause there ain't no doors! Ain't no floors neither! Sawdust! The men you find in those places... Lord!...they look like what you might get if you went down to the Ship Channel at night and found the sleaziest, scuzziest scow on the wharf and then scrapped the men off the bottom of the boat! Total scum! Of course, I have never actually been in one....(cough, cough) but I have it on very good authority....(cough,cough)
