Topic: I got a new job!!!
Hey guys, guess what? I got a new job. I have been with my present company for almost 15 years and I'm a little sad to be leaving, but it's a great opportunity. I have been offered a job as an Executive Assistant and the salary offer was too good to pass up. Plus, my present company wants to keep me on relief status to help train my replacement. So I will be getting 2 paychecks. How cool is that? My last day here is Dec 21 and I start the new job on Dec 26. Wish me luck! Happy holidays to everyone!

Congrats Elisa! That is so awesome! I can hardly believe it's almost 2 years since our surgery. We have all done so great! I had been stuck between 162-165 but I stepped on the scale the other day and low and behold it said 158. Yay! It's great to see we are still losing.

Thank you so much Jen! 
I actually don't mind when people, from high school for example, don't recognize me. Most of my friends, who I am good friends with, still recognize me. I guess my face is still looks the same to them?
Have your facial features changed drastically? Perhaps it's harder to recognize you because you wear more make-up now? Or something... I just don't see why people wouldn't know it's you? Even my neighbor (she's an old lady) who I have not seen in years recognized me...well yea not at first...I did have to tell her who I was but I knew I would have to do that. I guess I just know I have to tell people who haven't seen me since my weightloss who I am. I don't mind it though.
This is actually an interesting subject...I hope someone else can share their experience. So far, I don't mind it.
Take care Jen

Congratulations 
I've lost 8lbs but I think that had to do with my plastic surgery but hey, I'll take the loss anyway I can get it 
I don't want to lose anymore weight, I'm just focusing on maintaining which is a job in itself. Great job

Elisa,
Congratulations on working your way there! You've done a terriffic job and you should be very proud. What am I saying? I know you are! keep up the great work. I know what you guys are saying with the 2 years coming up; it seems like it was just the other day! I mean, I've lost a lot of weight and people don't recognize me anymore, but it seems like I just had surgery. Time flies, eh? Let me tell 'ya, the not getting recognized by people I used to be good friends with really hurts. I mean, seriously, anyone else had this issue? I saw someone in the grocery store and we used to really laugh it up; be good friends. I haven't seen them in about a year and a half, pretty close to after my surgery date. I saw them and they could not remember me. They're like, "Nuh-uh! No way! You're Jen?! Naw!" They were so baffled. It hurt my feelings because I could see in their eyes they really had no clue who I was. Not a shred of recognition whatsoever! Wow. It struck deep. That must've been what George Bailey (Jimmy Stewart) felt like when he "was never born" on It's A Wonderful Life! You know?
Okay, sorry. Didn't mean to turn this about me. I apologize, Elisa. Have you every experienced that? I'll stop now.
