Good response! After awhile, people at work started asking me how I lost so much weight. I didn't mind telling them because results speak for themselves.1

I'll keep up the ruse as long as I can but when I eventually turn sideways and they can no longer see me, I'll have to explain at that point how I became so thin as to be two dimensional.
I kept my weight to myself for about six weeks until someone asked if I was on a diet. I just told them I was eating healthier and left it at that. When we had a pizza luncheon at work I would take my pizza and go to my office and throw it away....same way with birthday cake. After several more weeks most people quit asking about my weight loss. Now after losing 36 pounds no one says anything. Now when there is a luncheon I just get something to drink and tell them I've already eaten and no one comments.3 -
