What's on your Thursday Menu, RNYers?
G?morning all!!
Wow, so many introverts on this board. I?m the extrovert y?all hate! But I get you because I married an introvert.
Don?t know if you guys noticed but I was gone since Mon for work. Great event (if I say so myself - because I planned it). I see some of the spouses only once or twice a year and this event was for members and spouses. It was so fun seeing them react to me. They couldn?t put their finger on what had changed, they kept asking me if I had changed my hair cut. That made me even laugh more because in my head I was saying yeah I lost more than 90 lbs. But that shows me that people don?t pay much attention to how you look, these women didn?t notice I had lost 90+ lbs, they just saw something different. Only one person, in a group of 60, mentioned that I looked like I had lost weight.
Accountability : good, for a 3 day retreat full of food and dessert. I made good choices.
QOTD: I'm like emiepie, I like organizing. Closet (by color and item), pantry (my husband messes with me by putting stuff out of order knowing I?ll go in to fix it without even realizing it)...and of course my job...corporate events. I guess I like ordering people around, where to be, what to do! LOL
B: protein shake
L: protein shake (I feel like I need to give my pouch a rest after the last three days)
S; yogurt
D: chicken fajita
It?s almost Friday! Yippee.

I do understand. While it's nice for people to make a discrete appreciative comment about ones's transformation, it's not as pleasant to have intrusive questions asked ( "So, how much have you lost?"), nor to have your weight loss be the focus of everyone's attention. You're right, people in general are self-absorbed. They will notice though, in my experience, unless you truly just had a small amount to lose, then only fashionista and perfectionists and possibly artists or athletes may notice. At least that's been true for me. But 90 lbs. isn't a small amount, so I find it curious that there was any confusion as to why you looked different! But I'm glad their inattentiveness worked for you!
And you know the one person who did notice? She had lost a ton of weight eons ago. She had told me that 6-7 years ago while we were at a retreat in France. Can't remember what started the convo but she told me then that she worked hard to lose weight. Since I had met her she was skinny but I guess maybe before her husband had joined the group. Anyway, funny that SHE noticed.

Qotd: This question made me laugh this morning. One thing that always stands out now as something I like that others don't had only surfaced since I moved to the pacific northwest. Every time we went anywhere for breakfast or had breakfast with others I get the strangest looks for putting ketchup on my eggs! Apparently this is a regional thing and people out here think I am bizarre for doing it! Another thing that I like doing that no-one else seems to understand (unless they are kids) I watch the same shows and movies repeatedly... I have to be in a very specific mood to want to watch something new and it happens very rarely.
Accountability: Yesterday was very good again. I think I am starting to feel hungry again. I went way too long between breakfast and lunch because I fell asleep. I woke up and thought it was gas pain... took a moment to realize it might be hunger!
