It is COOL when people who see me every day/week get excited about my weight loss. It is REALLY COOL when people who don’t see me very often are surprised when they first see me in person. But I have to tell you – it is AMAZING when people I do not even know stop me to comment about my weight loss. I work in a building with 18 floors. It is inevitable that I will see some people in the elevator or walking the halls – even though I don’t “KNOW” them. Yesterday, waiting on the elevator in the parking garage, I had five ladies stop me to ask what I was doing, because they were noticing the weight loss. People are watching, apparently even strangers in the building where I work.
This morning, I tried something that I haven’t tried in a long, long time. When I stepped out of the shower, I wrapped the towel around me. My husband and I always use the bath sheets – much larger than a regular towel. Even still – if I tried to wrap it around me, I would have a triangle of skin that just absolutely did not get covered. On TV or in the movies – the actress would be quite properly covered when she wrapped in a towel, and I was always a little envious (OK, OK – a LOT envious!) But this morning, not only did it wrap all the way around, but it also overlapped a good bit, so I was perfectly modest – perhaps not movie quality yet, but so much further than I have been. “I’m ready for my close up, Mr. DeMille.” LOL!
32 Weeks out – I’m down 163 pounds total, and 103.2 pounds since surgery.
Celebrating this Wednesday! Loving my cheerleaders!
