Another non-scale victory of sorts...

Postby mellowmom » May 26th, 2006, 8:37 pm

I went back to my old workplace on Thursday. I left almost a year ago and haven't really looked back, but I do have a credit union loan for my car there and I was in the area so I thought I'd sneak in the back door and make a payment. <img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15_1_63.gif' border=0>

Well..........I ran into a few of my co-workers from the sales department. Most of them stared at me slack-jawed. Then when they could finally speak coherently they kept commenting on how "relaxed" I looked and "great" and "younger" and the best one was..."Did you have some kind of 'procedure' done to yourself?" <img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_17_1.gif' border=0>

Procedure!!! I just busted out laughing and shook my head no...(but I don't think she believed me). So that was my little victory for the day. It's one thing to have cosmetic surgery done and have people notice it...it's another to not have it done and for people to think you did have it. <--boy that sounded confusing..<img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_6_4.gif' border=0>

So now I guess you can measure Medifast success in pounds, inches and lines...!

Congrats! And I love the confused looks from people. I posted this before, but back when I was knocking on the door of the 50-pound club, I saw someone I hadn't seen in a long time, and she kept commenting on my great new haircut and how nice it looked. (Apparently it made me look 50 pounds thinner!! LOL)

What a great moment that must've been.

When I first read this, I thought the procedure she was asking about was gastic bypass...LOL! oops... I guess not. You must be just glowing for her to think you've had cosmetic surgery. :)
