When folks don't notice....

This really is an NSV and not a need for encouragement. I have been thinking about this a lot today. To start, I have a recently new boss who is aware that I have been working at losing weight. He mentioned the other day that 'wow, you are still losing huh'? Good for you! He finally saw an old pic of me and then said 'wow, I would have never known that you had been a woman of size ,'
I think that is a testament to the healthy approach.. I look well, healthy and not deprived. I also think my daily workouts must be helping me to look as firm as can be expected of a woman of my age...so, patting myself on the back a bit!
Just goes to show that new acquaintances won't always know how far you've come until it is in their face.
I also chatted with a long time friend the other day. She was gushing about my new hairstyle and glasses and how it lights up my face. I just kind of smiled knowing that I didn't have a new haircut or new glasses. Now, I see this person at least every other week.. And I truly believe that she has not registered that I am over 105 pounds smaller. In a way, this is the best compliment of the world. This woman sees me just the same as she always has (albeit Improved or enhanced in some way) but it appears she never had me labelled as ' extra large' or else it would be obvious to her now...and trust me, this person would have said something. I am seeing others a lot differently now..and that is a good thing!
