Kind of a weird NSV

Options
I've lost about 105 pounds from my heaviest weight over the past several years with lots of time just maintaining. I lost most of it when I had moved to another state. Now that I am back and running into old friends and acquaintances, they don't recognize me. Even my best friend's Mom! At first I was kind of offended and then I realized that it isn't that they don't remember me, but that I look like a different person. I'm still thinking it over, but I'm glad they don't recognize me because I look better instead of looking worse.

    my own MOTHER didn't recognize me the other day!!!!! She lives in another state, but was up working on a house she rents out and I just happened to run into her at home depot. I smiled and waved as I walked up to her and she just looked away, when I got to her I was all offend and said hello and she jumped and exclaimed she didnt realize it was me - my own fraking mother!
