Unrecognisable

Tonight I had a 2nd person not recognise me. I don't see how it's possible. To me I still look like me, just thinner?? The first person was in Wal-Mart, I was with my daughter and a grandmother of a child who used to come to my daycare walked by.... We were face to face as she passed and I, glad to see her said..."HI THERE!" She simply said very flatly "Hi" She didn't even make eye contact. I then said "How are you?" and she still flat said "Fine" and kept walking. I stood there for a second and then said to My daughter..."What the hell was that?" This is a woman who would normally stop and chat and give me all the updates on her grandson. Taryn said..."I don't think she knew it was you" So that was never confirmed but I suspect that may be what was going on. Tonight DH and I were in the drug store at a till, across from us at another till was a former aide of my daughters.... I made eye contact and smiled at her....She smiled politely back and I was expecting something like "OMG you look so good" It seems to be the first thing out of everyone's mouths these days. But she didn't seem friendly at all. I paid for my purchases and started walking towards her...it was then she caught sight of DH and it occurred to her who I was. Then she started saying OMG..... She said she was looking at me because I seemed familiar, but she didn't know who I was. She said if she hadn't seen DH she would never have known it was me. Becky

I can so relate to this!! I was at the high school picking up my daughter when her former Girl Scout leader came in. Mind you, we spent many hours together. She turned and looked at me, smiled and turned away. I was floored as this woman is also my neighbor in my back yard!!! (they are not outside much tho) So I went over to her and said Hi Sharon and she was still blank but decided she should chit-chat. Her daughter came out and ran up to me, hugged me and said Oh Momma Jen (all the kids call me that) you look fabulous! Sharon's jaw dropped to the floor and she apologised profusely. I am starting to see a difference when I see pics but not so much when I look in the mirror. Guess I'll have to buy a magic mirror! Jen
