I dropped by my favorite hair salon to get a quick trim of the old straggly ends. I only get my hair trimmed a couple of times a year so I haven't been in since last November when we were getting hubby bleached for Santa. (we have his hair & beard bleached) Anyway, I walked in and they had several new people working there - the person I had used in the past is gone. I tell the receptionist that I just need a trim and she finds someone available for a walk-in. I'm sitting in the chair and the owner of the shop walks by and stops to say hi and notices my braces. He asks me if I had them the last time I was in and when I told him they were new he says "I knew there was something different about your face." Hello!!!!! How about more than 60 lbs gone since you last saw me! I then moved the cape to the side and said "Oh, and I've also lost over 60 lbs. I had GBS." He was speechless! He asked how I was doing and we talked a little about the surgery. He told me I looked great and then he got back to his client. On my way out he asked his client (a very regular customer) if she noticed anything different. I told him she probably didn't know who I was and he proceded to tell her I was Santa Claus' wife. Her jaw dropped and she says, "My goodness, you have lost a lot of weight!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She said she didn't have any idea who I was until he said I was Santa's wife. Oh, and I went to Lane Bryant to spend the gift card my daughter had gotten me for Christmas. I bought 14s and 16s from the clearance rack. I'm in my 18s now and this will give me some things to move into. I told the lady I came in to spend the card before I "under"grew the store. Walked out of there with 3 pairs of office dress slacks, 2 office dress blouses and a cami for $89.

Hi Susan, it's a great moment when people realize just who you are and how much you have lost. My ENT Dr. calls me skinny. Not there yet, but compared to when he first met me, in his eyes I am skinny. I'm proud of you, girl, keep up the great work. Love Kathy
