Someone noticed

Someone other than family noticed that I had lost weight. My family and friends tell me that I have lost, but family will tell you anything to make you feel better. I ran into a girl that I use to work with about 5 years ago and see ever once in awhile. She looks at me and says "where is your other half" I'm thinking that she is talking about my husband and say that he is around. She says no the other half of you, you have lost so much weight whats going on. I wanted to kiss her she was the first one to notice. I know that it is silly to make so much of one little comment but I have had the hardest time seeing my weight loss. Guess it is because I have so much to loss ( boy that sounds whinny). I've lost 43 lbs but like I said I just am having the worst time seeing it for myself. My clothes all still fit not hanging off or saggy, well maybe the undies are a little big. My clothes must have been reeeeeeeeally tight before. Well going to run for now will check back later if I can. Take care all..............Peggy

Hey congratulations! It won't be long before we're all having those experiences all the time...I know I can't wait. Lol. I did have one friend who didn't know about my surgery when I had it, but I told after the fact...anyway, she said that if she didn't know I had surgery, she would probably not say anything because the changes are subtle still. BUT she could definitely tell a difference, and said I looked great! That in itself just made my day.

I totally know how you feel!! I SURELY have much weight to lose but am also having a hard time seeing any weight loss at all. I had my surgery on Feb 21st and have lost a total of 34lbs. I was thinking the same thing, My clothes must of fit really tight, because they don't fit baggy or anything. HAHA I returned back to work today and have been told by a co-worker they could tell in my face I have lost. That made my day!! Take Care.... Joanna

I am so waiting for someone who doesn't know I had surgery to notice. I have lost about 34 lbs. and my pants are a little baggy, but I can't really tell either. My husband says he can tell, but I want someone who doesn't know to tell me they can tell. One day it will happen. Congratulations Peggy, keep up the good work. And it is work!!!! Mary M.

Don't you feel so much better about yourself? I have lost 40lbs and went out to the bar last weekend (no drinking, just hanging out) and actually got hit on and asked to dance!! That hasn't happend to me in like at least 5 yrs. But I think it really had to do with my attitude about myself. I actually felt confident in the way I looked and kept my head up. My friends said I smiled all night. Just wait till we lose another 40lbs!! Keep up the good work!
