So, today I had my first real experience with someone not recognizing me! I feel like I see friends and acquaintances frequently enough—plus I share a lot on Facebook—that no one should really be that surprised. I’ve been told that seeing me in person is much different, but still, you know to expect the change.
So after morning program I ran into his old assistant kindergarten teacher in the hall on the way out. She chatted for a moment then had an A-HA look and said “Have you lost weight?” I said yes, and she said she hadn’t even recognized me! She had recognized Katie but wondered who she was with…then realized it was me…but hadn’t wanted to ask about the weight loss but then did anyway. Of course she was amazed when I told her I’d lost 125 pounds (I’m rounding—I was at 124.8 this morning). And she hadn’t seen me around the school and we’re not Facebook friends…so she had NO idea!
“Awesome Sauce”…………….you had to be beaming with pride!
