Have you ever had people who have met you not recognize you? At my last job, I constantly had people coming in saying "I spoke with that bigger girl, but I don't think she works here any more". "No, actually, you spoke to me. . . . . "

    I would egg them on with something like, "Oh, that fat lard?! Gross..." Give them a little more rope to hang themselves with.

    OMG, I would be so embarrassed if I was the one who said that bc I didn't recognize the person. That would be a very awkward moment, lol. People do change A LOT with their weight loss so I'm sure it happens more than we might think. Good job on your loss BTW. You look GREAT!

    Just this past weekend, I walked into the office I used to work at during college. I happened to walk in during their weekly staff meeting and everyone just stared at me....Finally after about a minute or so, one of the ladies, goes 'Oh my god, it's Jimie Lou!!!' So once she figured it out, everyone else did too....I couldn't really tell who was more embarrased, me or them.

    I ran into an acquaintance in the store recently and we were having a conversation and it wasn't until my daughter walked up to us that she said, OMG - its you!!! She said she had no idea who I was during the whole conversation - she was trying to figure it out! I've also waited on neighbors of mine and we are face to face and they have no clue!~
