So I had a bit of an interesting NSV today.
I went to the gym tonight for my weight training class. There were four new women there who were only taking the class for the second time. I had just upped the amount of weight I was lifting so I had quite a bit already out and set up.
One of the women remarked: "Ok, are you lifting your actual weight or something? How can you lift that, you're tiny!"
First NSV of the evening, I suppose. I'm still getting used to being called "tiny."
So we all started talking for a bit and I mentioned that I continually add to what I lift. One of the other women who is a regular and has known me a couple of years joins the conversation and says "hey you know she lost a lot of weight! You should listen to what she says!"
So I mention that I lost 80lbs and they gush over me, but they all say the following things:
"You look like you've always been tiny--I can't imagine you 80lbs heavier!"
"I thought you were just a thin person coming for the heck of it!" (lol)
"You always weren't this way?!"
I assure them I even have pictures on my phone if they don't believe me, haha, but I was really struck by the "You look like you've always been tiny" comment. I don't know how someone who has always been "tiny" looks but apparently I look like that :P
Now for my stomach to lose the extra skin and catch up to my arms and legs
I should tell the owner of my gym that I can be a walking advertisement for her!
