 I can't wrap my mind around it !!  People even treat me different... they are far more social towards me and that is hard to get used to. In my mind I am still the same person but people are different !!  It's so crazy.

And sad too though!! Every time someone posts something like this it gets me upset with society!! People are mean and insensitive and it makes me worry for when I get my surgery and lose the weight that I might become a ***** to those that ignored me before... I hope not but thats how I feel right now...

 Someone just called me skinny too... But then I realized I just bought a Marc Jacobs men's shirt, small, slim cut, so maybe the shoe fits. It's still hard to wrap one's head around.

The first time you hear that, you're like "get the heck outta here"
The 50th time you hear it...you're like "really? thanks, I think and wonder if you've gone too far"

After that you just say "thank you" and remember that once, not so long ago...you were really fat and today is a really good day.

Congrats on being "skinny" enjoy every moment.

 I still smile to myself when someone refers to me as "tiny". Never, ever in my life have I felt tiny. My childhood memories are of being teased for being fat and throughout my life I have been so self conscious about my size. When I try on clothes and I gravitate to the size i see myself in and the sales person brings me a few sizes smaller, I just can't believe it. Congratulations, it's fun isn't it?

I've been called "tiny" three times in the past two weeks, which is honestly ridiculous because I am still over 200 lbs.  But it's nice to hear.....

I was called "tiny" last week.  I guess I am tiny in comparison to before.  But my BMI still is in the obese range, so I am nowhere near tiny!  It felt great though!
