Skinny Minny?
on July 11, 2011 1:22 pm

Friends keep calling me skinny.  It's kind of Odd.  I know that I'm not Skinny by definition (210lb is not actually skinny) but rather much lighter than I'd previously been.  And in many cases weigh less than many of my friends have ever known me to weigh.  I know it's  complement but I also know that I've got easily another 50lbs to loss to be truly healthy by Doc BMI schedules.  So how will people react when they see me in another 6 month and I weigh less than I do now.  
~~~~~~~~~
An interesting thing happened this weekend.  I know a person peripherally threw a group of friends.  He's always been an ass and treated me as though I don't exist.  But now all of a sudden he's deemed me worthy to talk to.   I know it's cause I'm not MO any more and it just goes to prove what a complete ASS he actually is.  I ran into his ex-wife yesterday, she was always nice to me and relayed the story to her.  She just laughed in the ironic kind of way and said something to the effect of
"Reason #101036 that we're not together any more."
   
Some where I'd read a blog about people treating you different after surgery and loosing weight.  It's not my friends who treat me differently.  They've always loved and accepted me but it's the strangers and new people that I have to watch out for now as I don't have that automatic AssHole filter/buffer that I had before.  LOL...

My Great Uncle died this past week.  Last evening was the wake and today is the funeral.  It's weird as I'm not close with this side of my family.  My mom talks to her cousins but I"m not involved particularly.  So to see them for the first time in several years was odd.  I can't remember names to save my life and they have no idea who I am let alone after lossing 100lbs.  Several of the cousins can guess who I am once they see me with my mom & dad, but their kids who are my age have no idea.  One actually knew who I was off the bat as she is a Nurse at the hospital that I had my surgery and I'd talk to when I'd gone back for my Strictures.  But of course with the anistisha I had to have that day whiped any memories and my mom had to remind me that I had spoken with her.   

It's just been and odd couple of days.  I'm not grieving in particular way as my Uncle was ready to go.  But it reminds me that my parents aren't young.  Rather humbeling, does that make sense....

I know I'm rambeling
