Non-Scale Victory: Someone Noticed!!!

I am so excited, I just had to share it here with everyone. I work for a non-profit and we have several different volunteer committees that help us with our major event fundraisers. Well, I hadn't seen the chair of our golf committee since March, which was when that event was held. He came by our office today for something and stopped in my office to say hello. He has this huge smile on his face and says "stand up girl." I was a bit confused, but stood up. He said he was amazed at how good I look and couldn't believe how much weight I have lost since he last saw me. He said I really look great.

That absolutely made my day. I don't hear it much from the people I see every day, because they don't notice the change as much. So it was good seeing someone I hadn't seen since before my surgery and hearing that there really is a big difference in the way I look. I am going to be walking on air for the rest of the day! :001_rolleyes:

Congratulations!

That doesn't happen to me as much as it used to, but it's still great when it does.

That's great Susan. I am happy for you.

I haven't lost much from surgery because I was quick to get sleeved as soon as I started gaining. That never happens to me because of that.

I know how good it feels though when people do notice, and I am happy for you that you got that NSV today!

What a great thing to experience. I can feel your grin from here! Way to go girl!

woo hoo girl - that has got to be an AWESOME feeling -- I'm with Ruthi - can see your smile from here and see that your feet are a few inches off the ground. Keep up the great work! It's got to be a GREAT feeling that is for sure!:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

It is a great feeling, thanks! I ran around work the rest of the day with a silly grin on my face. When I got home from work tonight, Lee and Danielle wanted to know what the heck got into me because I was in such a good mood and just being really silly with them.

Susan,congrats and be silly all you want. I can hardly wait to be silly and excited over loosing weight. You go girl. Judy

Thanks Judy! It is fun to see the scale moving and even more fun when others notice.
