Ok, a question for those who have been at goal for a while: when do people forget your old self?

I'm getting -really- tired of every conversation with people eventually including something about weight loss/eating/exercise/etc.

It's almost as if for most people, they're just sitting back waiting for the fatman to reappear.

I'm only a year out, so I'm guessing that this goes away after a while, but perhaps it doesn't. Maybe the next step is to move somewhere that people never knew that old me?

Thoughts?

Ok... so we had surgery the same time, and hey we are even about the same weight... although I'm about 20 lbs from goal..........

First, My husband is puking sick of my band.... he also told me that my ass is now flat and would I please eat more ice cream... oy (nother post for nother place)

But yes.... I wonder how long it will take for people to think of me as this size normal... (but in my case they are all waiting for me to start the regain process) because that is what is normal for me... PROFESSIONAL YOYO dieter........

I've been grabbling with this exact issue because I have been asked to try out for a LapBand video... and I've now made it to the top 10... but then I see banner ads pop up and think.. HOLY SHIT THAT COULD BE MY HEAD and my HORRID B4 pic............ and THANK YOU CHICKIE a post from last week has REALLY made me wonder.. do I want that "out there" forever.......... or do I want to quietly slink away and be in normal land........ with my band and my 1 taco........

I think yes, ESPECIALLY since your a guy.. the 175 lb YOU will BE NORMAL soon enough! CONGRATS!
