Going Incognito Without Trying

  • Popular Post

I have decided one of the most amusing aspects of losing a ton of weight is the ability to go incognito without even trying. Multiple times over the last 6 months, I have run into people from my past who had no idea who I was until I told them. In fact, my own aunt didn't even recognize me!

Now, when this is becomes fun is when you run into someone you don't like.

Today, I was at the grocery store with my boyfriend. We turned down the aisle and I immediately saw this woman from my past and went out loud "oh sh*t". My boyfriend gave me an odd look and I just shook my head. I almost turned away from the aisle to avoid her but then thought....hmmmm....I bet she won't even recognize me.

Sure enough, she ended up right next to me. She even looked right at me. Absolutely zero recognition. She had no idea who I was. I was able to walk right by her without so much as a second glance.

Going incognito without even trying is seriously awesome :D
