Now I understand!!

Thanks Jennifer. Most people don't say much but there are a couple that go on and on and won't shut up. So I took 2 of them aside and tried to explain. They basically told me to get over it. Now I stay in my office as much as possible. They comment on my clothes, how loose they are. They ask me how much I've lost, etc. They do this in front of people. They do this in front of strangers who do n't know me at all! The cow that broke the camels back was when 2 of the guys who won't even speak to me unless I speak first made comments. That's when I decided to post. I have always been the person to get attention because of my personality and my good work. I am not comfortable with this attention on my looks. Truth be told, I wish my husband would not comment either. Sometimes he makes me mad because I have been this size before. He acts like I have never been this size with him. I was this size when we lost our 3rd baby. I'm not sure why it bothers me so much. I need to pray about it and meditate on it. I appreciate everyone letting me know that I am not alone in this.

I've lost about 40 lbs since I started this journey, and have about 70 to go (my goal).  It looks like more, since I've also been exercising a lot.  My co-workers have started calling me "skinny mini" since I'm wearing some more fitted clothes, and are shocked when I tell them that my primary care doc wants me to lose at least 50 more.  But that would just barely make it into the "normal weight" category.

Like you, I don't want to be evaluated on what I look like, but on what I do.

Elza, it looks like it's common and it will go away. I'm going to keep on going and not focus on it. I will see if I get better performance reviews or more money now that I'm so little. LOL

You are definately not alone.  I really feel uncomfortable with all the attention surrounding my weight.  I am the same person people!!  I know that alot of people have not seen me at this weight ever, and most who have not seen me since surgery usually walk right past me...which I find weird, but   ok...whatever..lol...    And alot of times when passing my own reflection, I dont recognize me either!  very strange...  but I am getting better with it.  I need to learn to take the compliment and move on.  harder to do then I thought though.  And for those who say  I need to stop losing, I have started telling them that my dr and I have a plan, and I am feeling good.  That usually stops them in their tracks.  I am still a normal BMI so....I am not to worried.  And I actually laughed when someone called me "tiny"!  ME?? Tiny??  wow.....had to let that one sink in for awhile!  but maybe I finally am.......

That's funny. I don't think I will get in the normal weight BMI but we will see. I also think it's funny when people call me tiny because I still have a big butt! LOL After posting and hearing from you all, I think I can move on and not let it bother me so much. I'm not sure I will get used to it, I just won't focus on it.

Remember that it' a temporary phase.  There will indeed come a time when the comments will no longer come and you might even find yourself thinking, "Geesh!  Nobody notices anymore!"  LOL

Won't it be wierd to be "normal"?   I know it will be for me, for sure!  hahaha

I understand and keep telling myself that. I don't know if I will ever be called "normal" though, LOL
