NSV - funny

OK, I go to work every day.  My group is so small its only two of us, but I see other people on my floor and in the break room regularly.  I am down 64.4 lbs and TODAY is the FIRST day someone has said to me "OK, you really need to tell me what you are doing, cause it is working!"

It was nice to hear, but do you have any idea how long I was waiting for someone to notice?!?!  LOL!!

Sounds about right. I was down about 60 or 70 when work people really started saying something. Now that I am down over 100 I have had several people not even recognize me.

This weekend a lady told me she was thinking I had gone back to school, but then she got closer to me and realized I wasn't my daughter!!  Hahahaha!!

Nice. Last weekend I was standing next to my business partners at an event when a person we have known for many years came up and hugged them both hello. I was feeling like "what the hell" since I am the one who maintains that particular relationship. She goes "Where's Keith?". I was like "Oh yeah baby!" Love those NSV's. Last week two co-workers I haven't seen in a couple of months walked right past me not realizing it was me.

Its funny when people who I do see a lot finally realize, they go "there's something different about you". I always go "new haircut". About 80% of the time they go "Oh..Yeah, thats it". I get a good laugh out of it.

I was over 50 the first time someone noticed when I got the band.  And that was after 8 months.

Congratulations on your successes!  Sometime people feel uncomfortable to bring up someone else weight, even in a positive way.  Even if people aren't saying anything, I'm sure they're thinking it.  Keep up the great work!

I was a lightweight and no one notices until I lost 40 pounds and was around 150.  People are very self absorbed and really are not paying attention to us as much as we think they are or should be.  It's funny, but reassuring too in a way.

People must have thought you were reverse aging thought. When I look at your before pic and your profile pic you look significantly younger.

Thank you Keith.  It really shocked me that I thought I looked so very different, but no one and I mean no one, said a thing until it was truly striking and then everyone was just "shocked" by the "sudden" change.  :)

Cool!!  I think people notice but they just don't say anything. Maybe due to uncertainness or whatever the case may be. But at a certain point it just gets real obvious.

Case in point. I was talking/looking at someone in church this past Sunday. And I thought to myself is she getting smaller? Later my mom was like did you talk to so and so? And I was like yeah is she losing weight. My mom was like yeah.
