The Ladies on the Bus
I commute to work on the city bus. I could drive, but I like riding the bus.
After losing 80+ pounds, the ladies I ride the bus with finally got the nerve to ask me about my weight loss last month. They now know I had bariatric surgery.
I haven't been on the bus for a few days because of other work commitments. This morning they said, "You look great! You aren't going to lose more weight, are you? You look good where you are." I said, "No, I'm done losing." (I learned this response from Jody) She said, "You wouldn't want to get too skinny." Well actually, I'm willing to learn about too skinny at this point...lol.
I'm sitting at 187 pounds with an overweight BMI. Hell yeah! I'm going to lose more weight. I want to get to a normal BMI. I was very flattered and motivated by their comments. It was so very nice for them to notice and say something!
I've not lost any pounds the past couple of weeks, but my clothes are starting to sag. I bought a pair of size 12 jeans yesterday and they actually fit. If I wasn't so obsessed, I throw my scale away.
It was a good way to start the day!

It is a good way to start the day. The scale will move again, sometimes in surprising ways. Mine was pretty still last month but I have lost 3 lbs since Sat. REALLY????

Woo hooo --- love your response!!!!!
I had a teacher at daycare ask me what I had done because I'm sure my DD told her I had surgery on my tummy... this is the same woman who asked if I was "grandma"... thud....
so I had a quick decision to make and I shared! She had a nutrition class and knew a bit about bariatrics...
OH the fun ahead...
Can't wait!!!!
