I've had two coworkers mention to me today about how much better I am looking.
This morning I was told that while walking down the hall with another colleague yesterday, I looked "different." She didn't quite elaborate as I think she was lost on how to phrase it, but she said I looked "like a different person."
Just now, while guiltily reheating my leftover turkey dinner from Bob Evan's (holy sodium!), another colleague (who is also trying to eat better and lose weight) informed me that while walking in behind me this morning, she noticed I was "withering away." I laughed, told her I have a lot more withering to do, and thanked her. I think because I openly said I have a lot more to go, like I was shrugging it off, she added "your wide-load is becoming much smaller!" (It looks worse than it sounded - we laughed!) A couple minutes later she caught me again and said "you were in your coat and whatnot this morning, for what it's worth."
There are some days where I swear they are all meeting up in a conference room, pointing out they need to do another round of compliments and plotting out what times they'll be free to stop me.
It's always a little weird to me when people I am familliar with, but not really close to (like co-workers) mention my body to me. especially if it's not something that a simple "Thanks!" will cover. A compliment is a compliment though, nomatter how awkward the giver is. Congrats on looking good!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I have noticed that the most uncomfortable part of losing weight is knowing people are looking at you. I don't mind the occasional "you're looking slimmer!" but to know they are eyeballing me kind of creeps me out. As a fat girl, I always felt like people were staring at me, and now they really are.
ReplyDeleteSo true! I start feeling self-conscious if I think about it too much.
