Unrecognizable

The other night I went to dinner with my family, and on the way to our table I saw an acquaintance that I haven't seen in just over 10 months. I approached him, said hello, shook hands, and we exchanged pleasantries, although he looked pretty confused. As the last time I saw him I was over 100 lbs. heavier I told my wive I don't think he recognizes me. Sure enough about half way through our meal he comes over to our table with a more upbeat personality "What did you stop eating? I didn't recognize you when you said hello, you've lost so much weight?" He stated the he was able to recognize my wife and kids when we sat down, and he couldn't believe that I was the same person. This made me feel really good, that I even had a small sliver of cake for desert.

    That's awesome, and an amazing feeling!
    My family has reunions every other year. We just recently had one for the fourth of July, and everyone told me how much I have changed, and for the better I might add, and it felt awesome! :P

    Yay for you!!! Feels great, doesn't it??? People don't recognize me, either, and I'm only about 20 or so lbs lighter than a year and a half ago, but about 3 sizes smaller. lol

    I had people fail to recognise me after losing just 30lb, so after 100lb I'd be more surprised if someone DID recognise you than didn't.
