149! In addition to Dally's lunch...
"Alex" wrote in message I noticed last month that she looked great and I told her so -- I let her know everything she was doing was obviously working for her and that I was proud of her. I didn't get anything then, but I didn't think much of it since I didn't feel like I had lost significant weight. Now I'm down 25 lbs, everyone is noticing, and still nothing from her. I thought maybe it wasn't obvious, but a co worker came up to me today and said I am an inspiration to her because I'm shrinking before her eyes, and I look so healthy. I think I would take the grudging compliment (and that's what it is!) of being too skinny over being ignored. Ally 212/187/160 It sounds to me that she is jealous. Have you confronted her about this? This could wreck a friendship.... |

"Dally" wrote in message I've had some variations on this. One SIL has always been in athletic good shape - had a tummy tuck as soon as she was done having kids and still wears mini-skirts in her 40's. (And can get away with it.) Anyway, she didn't mention my weight loss until I'd lost over 50 pounds. I think she was just staying out of it in case I regained it all. Or maybe she didn't think going from fat to still-fat made any difference. Whatever, it was weird, but she eventually started making a fuss. It was all the sweeter for having been hard-earned. Dally 244/177.5/169 Dally and Chris do have good points.... she may sincerely not notice if she sees you all the time. |

I haven't confronted her, I was thinking maybe she is just incredibly self-absorbed right now. We are going out this afternoon for a pedicure, so if there is an opportunity, I may bring it up. She knows I have changed my WOL, at least I know I mentioned it a month ago, but there was no recognition of it then either. You're right about jealousy ruining a friendship, nothing will kill it quicker IME. Ally 212/187/160 |

The update from yesterday: she didn't notice. I actually didn't expect
she would and as we were talking during the appointment it occurred to me that perhaps since she is leaving for a trip, maybe she just isn't seeing anything but what she needs to get complete before she leaves. I decided to let it be for a while and see what happens once she's back for a couple of weeks. The funny thing is this, another good friend stopped in yesterday at work, and she didn't notice either, but she was in a weird space. Self absorbed. She was talking about her weight loss and the method she's employing, and all I could think about was that it sounded like a setup for yo yo dieting, because her plan *can't* be a new WOL. She's doing 2 protein shakes a day and 1 small meal. I just let it be, as she wasn't in a place for listening, and I wasn't interested in talking about myself or my new WOL. It's interesting now that I am losing weight, how clear I am getting to be about the people around me as well as myself. Interesting side effect. The upside is I am not retaining water even though my TOM starts at some point today, and I am within 6 lbs of my wedding weight 10 years ago. Ally 212/186/160 |

Congrats on being so close to your wedding date weight. I am 75 lbs less then mine since I married last July. Ally 212/186/160 |

Hi Perple, You're absolutely right about that -- it did make me feel a LOT better! Plus the pedicure was heavenly -- it was an aromaglow pedicure, which means foot and leg massage is included...YUM! :-) 75 lbs less?!?!?! WOW!! That is awesome! When you get to goal, maybe you should renew your vows since you will have a new lease on life together! I'll use any excuse to wear a party dress! ;-) Ally 212/187/160 (my TOM, up 1 lb in water weight today, no biggie) |
