Got a Second Chance to Make a First Impression!

One of the managers was down from Chicago for a project meeting and I have met him and talked with him very briefly a couple of times over the past 8 years since we were bought out.  Yesterday I sat next to him in the project review meeting and he introduced himself to me and said he had heard about me but hadn't met me yet.  I just smiled and introduced myself also.

Inside I was laughing my butt off because he didn't recognize me !!!!  Understandable since we had only met a few times but it still made me laugh.  I thought about how great it was that I got a second chance to make a "first" impression.

AWESOME!  Isn't that great when someone doesn't recognize you??  Great way to say that too....a second chance to make a first impression.  How cool is that?

Very cool!!!  I love it when that happens.  IF I choose to tell them, I love to watch the look on their faces when they realize who it is!  hehehe....

Way to go Sarah!!!!  It makes us feel so good when people say how good we look or just don't recognize us at all because of the weight loss. 


Hugs,

That is so cool!!  Good for you!!  I went back to the school I used to teach at on Thursday.  Only a few of my friends there have seen me since my surgery (I've lost 150+ pounds since I taught at my old school).  About half had heard about my weight loss, but many did not recognize me.  It was great!!  : )

That is great!  I will have a similar experience I'm sure at the end of next month.  I will have lost close to 70 pounds (I'm hoping!) since our last corporate meeting.  Almost none of those outside our local office will have seen me in a year.  It will be interesting to see their reaction.
