    I went to a wedding on Saturday and there were people there that I had grown up with, aunts and uncles that saw me ever since I was like--born! I said Hi to all of them tagging along behind my sister and they said Hi back but kind of looked at me weird...and I just thought it was kind of rude, like why are these people who I knew since I was young giving me this weird look as if they've never seen me before? then most of them asked my sister
    "Who's that girl that came with you?"
    My sister said it was ME.
    Another one asked
    "Who's that girl with you? is she your friend?"
    and my sister cleared that up too and said it was me and they all just looked at me and couldn't believe it and kept saying no way, because it didn't look anything like me. Basically nobody recognized me and they said I looked great and lost a lot of weight. Last time they saw me was when I was 210 lbs.
    Suddenly I realized why they looked at me that way! but when they knew it was me, they smiled these big smiles and realized the familiarity in my eyes.

    I just really loved this feeling. Made me realize how far I've come. I was completely anonymous! lol I think I actually feel proud of myself. And that's something I've always wanted to feel.
