I didn't recognize you!

Wow! Are you guys discovering the fun in seeing your friends actually not recognize you? It has happened a few times to me in the last week or so, and it's always delightful and always fun for me. I can't even believe it myself sometimes. I looked down at my thighs yesterday and almost shrieked, myself! Where did they go? Ha! Ha! I just love all these wonderful changes....and the positive comments. Everyone has been so nice. Only one person has said that I need to stop losing weight now. I figured these comments would start about now. There's always a handful of people that don't want you to be "smaller than them," or think they can sabotage your success by saying you are fine just the way you are. I'll be fine when I am comfortable with my proper weight and my blood pressure is perfectly regulated. It's going to be up to me when I decide I've reached my goal....not everyone else! Anyone else having positive experiences? Negative experiences? ~Laura

>>Only one person has said that I need to stop losing weight now. I figured these comments would start about now.

that's weird. All of my post didn't show up. Anyway, I said, I've recenlty had a comment. A woman said I'd better not go stand out on the bluff or I'd blow away (we live on the coast.)

Laura, It is so funny when you see their reaction.. I remember a few weeks ago: I went to my mother's church and I put my mother off to the front of the church by the choir stairwell because it was closer to the mother's set upfront. I walked in after parking the car and when I did my mother said everybody in the choir stand lend to the right looking and she knew I had came into the church. I saw the pastor looking which let me know people were looking. I just keep walking and sat near my mother up front. After church everybody commented. I even had my 1987 high school porm date to say: "Wow, look what I missed!" I told him he wanted the fast girls back then and that was not me! I was 25yrs old before I had my first relationship, so you be happy and I will also with the love of my life. I thought that was too funny... keep up the great work! HUGs/LOL gwen

Yes, Gwen, I know what you mean! Church seems to be the #1 place I get the most "comments" or outright gapes and stares! I went to visit a bed-bound friend today, and she saw me pull up in a rental car and saw me coming to the door, but she still didn't know it was me until she saw my kids! She said...."You're so skinny now, and driving a Cadillac too?" We got a huge kick out of it! Anyway, I'm just loving it----every little stare and gape. I just eat it up! ~Laura
