MY RING FELL OFF MY FINGER TODAY!!!!! And then I looked at my hands and they are definitely smaller. Why couldn't my underwear fall off instead?

I had bought a new sweater back in the spring. I never wore it because after I got it home, I thought it made me look FAT. I am wearing it today and I don't feel FAT in it. It is fairly low-cut and my collarbones are sticking way out there. It is so nice to find something that is already in your closet that you can be happy to wear.

Great NSVs, everyone!!

I'm getting lots of comments from people now, and today I had a great one from a stranger at the gym. The lady who works the counter had to put in my name because I didn't have my ID (lost my keys - ACK!). I walked off and got changed and got on the treadmill as normal. In a few minutes, she came up to me and said, "I just have to say something. When I put your name in the system your picture came up and you look so different. You've really lost weight and you look very good!"

Yay! I just wanted to hug her. It made me feel great, and it definitely motivated me to keep going in my workout today. I don't even know what that old picture in their system looks like, and I don't want to see it!!!

Right before this NSV, another woman (a coworker) came up to me and said I need to buy new clothes because mine don't fit anymore!

Apparently I am unrecognizable.

1) On Tuesday, I saw a Japanese student I hadn't seen in over a year. I had seen him around campus and wondered why he never said hi. It occurred to me that maybe it’s harder for Japanese people to code differences in Caucasians. So I went up to him and started talking. I could tell he didn’t know who I was for a second. Then he said “You look different!”


2) I talked to a man today whom I have interacted with several times before over the past few years (he buys books from me). I moved offices over the summer and hadn't seen him since last fall maybe. I commented I was glad he found me in my new digs, etc... but I wondered why he was surprised I knew his name and why he gave me his business card again, as I thought he knew I had one from earlier.

After he left, he went to our secretary's office and heard him asking where my office was -- apparently he didn't recognize me, even after talking to me! She told him he had just been talking to me, and he said "I didn't recognize her." Our secretary told him I had lost over 100 pounds. She said he just kind of stood there and then said, "Well, that's some accomplishment!"

At least his conversation with her clarified some of his interactions with me!!

You know, I never for a single day forget I am on this journey, but sometimes I forget just how far I have come.
