You need to take you out to a nice salad dinner and get re-acquainted, ChocolateLabLover. Or, maybe an even better way to build a good rapport with you is to take you shopping for new, hot, slinky clothes!
It is interesting that sometimes our heads change slower than our bodies do --- for now, just keep enjoying the pleasant surprise of seeing that sleek, healthy you in the mirror. Congratulations on such a wonderful change!
