so everyone at my job has noticed my weightloss and, as a call center, we have a screen up in the middle of the department where our pictures come up once we meet a sales goal. well, i met one of my sales goals so my picture--which i took a few months pre-op--comes up every couple of minutes. since last week, a friend of mine has been freaking out, telling me how different i look. well, this week, she jumped up when she saw it and yelled "everyone look at kristine's picture!!" quite a few people--way more than i expected--got up to look at it and there was a collective "oh my god kristine, you look so different!!" which caused me to bolt and hide behind a cubicle wall, red as a tomato and laughing my ass off like i always do when i'm embarrassed. it felt good, knowing that everyone was seeing a difference where i am blind to it but oh my god, being put on the spot like that was so embarrassing, especially when i hate having so much attention on me!

Get used to being in the spotlight. I have so many people coming up to me saying how great I look. I say "Thank you, I feel great" and do a little dance.

Learn to accept the compliment graciously. say Thank You. No explanations necessary.

Keep up the good work! It's such an awesome feeling to be getting small!

I thought you were going to say your heel broke and you farted when you fell down and ripped your dress up to the waist...

CONGRATULATIONS!!
