Ok,
So right now I'm training for the next 6 weeks at work.  Today a bunch of us "old-timers" (people that have been there for anywhere from 7-10 years) were talking about weight and how being in an office or a sit down job, weight packs on fast.

One of the guys that did not know that I've had WLS asked me how I avoided the dreaded weight gain after working there for 10 years.  I asked what because I'm skinny??

Of course I told them I had surgery, and show an old photo, they almost did not believe me!!

Yep!  It felt great!!  I was considered someone that is "skinny"!!  The person that even asked my, I do not consider really majorly overweight, just a little.

WOW!!

This is a wonderful Wow.   There's not much nicer than a spontaneous, genuine compliment like that.

WOW is right....you look amazing & are doing so great....and I agree...isn't WLS FUN!!!!

(Okay..I want to share that today I ran into a store on my way to cycling class & saw one of my daughter's preschool teacher from 2 years ago.  I stood in the same aisle as her for 5 minute & smiled twice--she smiled back but had NO idea who I was. Finally, as she walked by I said hello & had to remind her who I was.  Then she said, "Oh my gosh, some of the moms at school said they saw you at the Y & you had lost a ton of weight, but I had no idea that was you".  That was so nice to hear!)

You are a WOW guy!! Keep it up, skinny man!!  Micheala.

Great WOW moment for you, Michael. And for you, Michaela! It's so nice to get validation, isn't it? When we can't see it ourselves, others see it and remind us of how far we've come. It's a blessing!

What a great WOW moment!!
