Yesterday I wore my skinny leg jeans, a ribbed v-neck white sweater, my black leather jacket, and my pointy-toed black boots. Yeah, I looked hot! Smiling still...

This was the 1st day in the two-weeks where I could really show off my new body and weight-loss to everyone. First, one of the directors chased me down to say how great I looked. That made me smile.

But, the true NSV was from the group of women that I truly cannot stand. These women are a clique and spread hateful gossip like WILDFIRE! These women haven't said a single word to me since my return to work 2-weeks ago. But, they do stare at me.

So yesterday I'm in an early morning meeting with one of them discussing a new priority project. One of the key-cliquer's is in the meeting. She watches me get up and then looks me up and down with her mouth gapping....does she not think I cannot see this? I'm laughing inside and keeping a straight face while talkikng with my boss.

Then another cliquer walked in and I get the same reaction from her...looking me up and down with a gapping mouth, but not saying a word. I act like I don't see her, but she goes over to her clique-mate and they start whispering. I'm sure they are talking about how I took the easy road by surgery, but I don't care.

My take-away from this...the joy of seeing them look me up and down in shock over my current transformation. Just wait girlies....there is more to come!

Good for you for pretending you didn't see them! They are so childish. Yuck. I also can't stand women like that. Eeew! Congratulations on your weightloss! Great NSV.

That's an awesome NSV!!!

Sometimes it's the little things that give you the most satisfaction, isn't it!?! Who CARES if you took the "easy way" by having surgery? The results are the same...and so is the work once you get started. You are rocking your sleeve! Good for you!!

BTW, I'm catty enough that I might have had to swing my booty a little extra for them!

CONGRATS! I can't wait to hear more. You are doing great..... And you did not take the easy way out! This is hard and confusing at times...... :Banane57:

^{LOL yes I would be twitching my booty , swinging my hair and standing in show girl pose with my shoulders back, chest out and hip cocked to the side... :ciappa:}

I don't understand these type of people at all. They should be so happy for you! Anyhoo, I'm proud of you and I say strut your stuff girl!

That is the BEST NSV ever! You know when people don't say a thing, but what they are thinking on the inside...JEALOUS! HAHA, ENJOY it girl!!!

That is most awsome. I only wish you could have took a picture of their faces!

I have had the luck of an office full of people who have been polite for the most part - I even had a guy in the warehouse that commented I might need to be careful so I won't blow away (I was on top of a tall crate and the wind was blowing). There was even a joke (emabrassing but funny in hindsight) that our company waited till I returned to add a nepotism policy - just to be safe.

One of the things I am beginning to notice is how I am treated when no one knows...just normal, I blend in with the crowd.

Sounds like you are looking HOT, HOT, HOT!!! You go girl!!!!!!!

BTW, I'm catty enough that I might have had to swing my booty a little extra for them! :wink1:

HA HA HA...not sure if I could do that just yet.

Thanks everyone.

I know I should take the upper road on this one, but I am truly sick of these women and the drama they bring to our office. It's ugly behavior on their part, and I will not become one of them. I've always felt you treat people the way you want to be treated.

That being said, when I started in this job almosts 4-years ago the one key cliquer befriended me. I truly thought she was a friend I could confide in. I realized within a year how she was talking badly about me and telling this to her group.

At this point I've not confronted her and one other, but I've come to the conclusion that when I resign this year, I will ask for extra exit interviews with her and the other, and I will speak my mind about their ugly behavior.

They ain't seen nothing yet. You have so many positive things to look forward to!
