Thursday this week, I got to witness the effect weight loss has on others. I haven't seen David Perry in some time; maybe a year or close to it. He hadn't seen my new knee, so it's probably been since last year. When I entered the waiting room to greet him, I saw his face change, saw the expressions on his face go from the eye contact of acknowledgement but non-recognition, to recognition, to disbelief. I actually watched him go from polite, "Hi, how are you (new person)" to, "WOW! That's really YOU?? It's hard to believe that's really you!" That was awesome! Then he said I looked not just awesome but freaking awesome! hahaha! That was great too, being appreciated for my LOOKS! (I'd insert a smiley if I knew how to) ;-)
I have meant to write this for awhile now; I get complements nearly every day on my weight loss. Apparently it is noticeable, even though I fail to notice it! That's not the same as not appreciating it; I am just used to my own face and shape. GLAD it is different!
