people never cease to amaze me...

...in good and shocking ways.

the fact that i've lost 83 lbs has become quite evident in recent weeks. when i wear a shirt that is too big for me, it's very clearly too big for me (4 sizes, usually). a lot of my pants don't fit right and kind of hang off my legs (it's hott, let me tell you). most people have been doing the rave, "oh gosh! you look amazing!" thanks. i feel amazing. the conversation at work turns to WW more and more frequently, and everyone around here knows i'm doing it. or so i thought.

today, however, something interesting went down. i was standing in the kitchen after finishing my lunch, deciding if i was going to have enough cheese today to count as a dairy serving, or if i should eat the yogurt i brought. of course, i wonder these things out loud. one of my co-workers (of "your hair looks like crap" fame) was in the kitchen and she goes, "are you still doing that program?" i said, yes, of course. her response? "is it working?"

seriously? seriously.

kind of ego deflating (the praise has definitely gotten to me), but i'm really kind of amazed by it. you see me every single day of the work week. you really don't notice that close to 100 lbs of me is gone? i understand when i don't see it, because everyone has a fake image in their heads of what they think they look like. but really? everyone else on the planet can see it, and you want to know if it's working?

sometimes, people really make me wonder...
