I'm back to work now for a couple of days, with a new hair cut. I'm getting lots of comments about my weight loss all of a sudden. LOL Change the hair and they notice even more. Most people some say nothing, some people like it, or I even had one lady say she didn't like it. Funny what people's reactions have been and watching people look at me. I feel kind of like I'm under a microscope a bit. Oh get this: my boss has not so much as said a word to me about my hair. Like it's not even different. I haven't blogged about my boss much, but she is heavy and really is not happy for me, she is just sad for her. She never says anything to me about my weight loss and now nothing about my hair. Strange how people/friends/coworkers can not like you because of a choice I made in my life. It's just really obvious she not happy for me, she just annoyed with me instead. So once again I'm answering lots of questions at work because I work in retail with lots of repeat customers. I do get tired of sharing my story to EVERYONE some days. I feel the same inside, it's the outside that is changing. I can not find myself to not tell people that I've had WLS surgery this past February. I still feel like I'm lieing somehow when people ask what I've done to lose weight. And believe me that's usually the first thing they ask is how your doing it? I do say exercise, diet (eating less), and I had gastric bypass to most people. Maybe I should just lie. I don't know. Now it's out there and I'm not hiding anything. I try to let people know it's a tool. I could fill my tummy with shit foods, but I do eat like I'm on a diet these days for the most part. Good foods just make me feel better overall. I just get full fast. That part is great. You can have some, and you fill fast. I don't have trouble talking about it at all, don't get me wrong. It's just a lot some days. But the hair changing and peoples reaction is kind of humorous.
20 more pounds to go until I get to my goal of 169. That still amazes me!
Happy Turkey Day blogger friends! Even for you in Canada. I know it's not your Thanksgiving but happy day any way. I know I'm not worried if all over eat this year. LOL :)

Susy,
You say you have changed on the outside and are the same person on the inside. That is true for the most part, but you are far more confident now. Not willing to place yourself LAST on the list. That is a big change. That change really shows to those who know you. You will never reach someone like your boss. Just let her be her sad self and don't feel badly about it! I think your hair looks amazing.
I know how your boss feels, I used to the girl who was jealous of anyone who had success in losing weight. Is that healthy, no, but it's hard. You are doing great, yes you exercise, eat right and less but at the end of the day you aren't doing anything different than any other smart person shouldn't do for their personal health and happiness. As for your hair and the changes your body is going through, it's not noticeable (when actually it is) then all of a sudden someone will hear one person comment and then the flood gates have opened and the comments are abounding. I know a few salespeople who visit us thought I was sick or had cancer early out from my surgery, it's funny and good to see the relief on their face when you tell them no, i wanted to do this!!
