So the comments have started!  In the last few days, I've been hearing from co-workers that I'm getting to skinny and I shouldn't lose anymore weight, WTH!  Some of them even say they don't remember me being heavy until I show them the before pics! Hack, none of these same co-workers ever told me I was getting to fat and not to gain anymore weight. lol 

I even hear "you are skinner than me now"!  Oh well!  This pic was taken yesterday after reaching my goal!  I still want to lose another 10lbs.  Loving my sleeve!

You look great :)  Don't listen to them.

 

I take pics of myself in that bathroom at work ALL the time.  I'm obsessed.  Playing dress up now is so fun :)

It was a bomb.  The guy was nice enough, but I was not attracted to him.  It ended up lasting 2 hours... I had to ask for the check b/c he was not getting the hint that I was ready to go.  

I'm excited / nervous about tonight.  I think things will either move forward with Gregory or it will become clear that they wont be going where I want them to.

I think you look great!  Nice proportions and not something anyone should criticize.

I think you look GREAT and definitely not "too skinny".  People in this country have a severely screwed up sense of what a normal-size person should look like.  There could be a little bit of jealousy thrown in there too.  

The next time somebody makes that comment, pull out the before-pics, show 'em and say "How come you never said anything when I was GAINING weight?  Oh, because that would have been rude?  Well, guess what - it's just as rude to comment on my size and weight now.  Please don't do it again."  

I promise you won't hear it again

I'm 100% with Tracy D on this one!!! I experienced this exact same thing when I lost a lot of weight with the lap band years ago! I hate to say it, but sometimes people CAN be a bit jealous. For me personally, many of my friends were skinny and gorgeous. I was the fat chick, and I think they viewed me as "safe" and not a "threat" (needless to say, I am no longer friends with any of those women). The more weight I lost, the more outgoing and confident I became, and they didn't care for the new me. That was long ago. I am hoping to get my priorities right to see if I am a good candidate for revision surgery soon. Keep rockin your sleeve cuz haters gonna hate ;)
