This has happened to me a few times...even very recently when I made the mistake of thinking I was looking pretty awesome...hmph. The recent ones were actually by the same nitwit woman who was doing my pedicure...she asked me the same thing the visit before too....time to find a new salon.
I'm sorry it happened to you...don't let it cancel all the good hard work you've done.
This will sound crazy, but feel good about it. It means you're losing weight all over except maybe for a pooch. I can't wait to lose enough weight that people assume a) there's concentrated fat in one area instead of all over and b) I could actually get a man to sleep with me. :-) No, seriously, I had the same question posed to me several times when I was in your weight range. It comes with the territory. Don't let it phase you. Wear some Spanx and keep up the great work you've obviously been doing! You go girl!
