I have something to say!!!
Wow, what a difference a few lbs can make in social gatherings!
Last night my husband and I went out with friends, something we haven't done in a loooong time, normally it is just me and him doing our own thing. Mostly because I hate feeling like a 3rd wheel. You see, my husband is very, very outgoing and can break the ice like nobody's business. He is literally like my personal comedy show and while it's fun, usually you will find me sitting quietly and listening intently to everything everyone else has to say. This is due to the enormous amount of times I have been talked over. I cannot STAND to be talked over, it is seriously in my top 3 pet peeves. So, you can imagine my surprise last night when I decided to jump in on the conversation, people actually listened!! And responded!!! More than once!!!
I am not just "seeing things" either; I can't say FOR SURE that my weight contributes to this, but what else would the reason be???? I'm still not quite sure I understand this social ladder thing; Like when other people talk, no matter what they look like or where they came from, I listen and take turns talking.
Just a weird shift I observed last night and wanted to share. Would like to hear everyone's thoughts on this as well!
