I've had some coworkers be polite about it and just offer one compliment and go on with life. Those are awesome. Then I have some who, every time they glance in my direction, wanna comment about it again and again... like I didn't hear it the first time, or like they think I look thinner than I did five minutes ago lol. Those get a little uncomfortable. It's not that I don't appreciate the compliments and encouragement... I know they are just being nice... but, as I've said before, I HATE being the center of attention, so this is just awkward for me.

The students return tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to seeing them and their reactions, but I'm also looking forward to the fact that half of my students are 9th graders who didn't know me in the spring, so they won't be shocked when they see me lol. It'll be refreshing to walk into a classroom without thinking the kids are thinking about how fat I am, how fat I used to be, or how I don't look like that anymore.

Work is wearing me out already (not so much because of my wl as for other reasons), and I'm only two days in. Gonna be a long year...

Highest weight: 277 Starting Weight: 250 Surgery Weight: 241 Current Weight: 130

Moon, I totally can relate to the couple teachers who comment on it EVERY time. I have only 1 of those, she is the one addicted to drama, and dammit she didn't retire like I thought she was going to. Oh well, another long year of drama with her. Pretty much decided I am going to take her down on it though. She crossed a line when she called my house to pump my husband for information. Can you believe the freakin' nerve! He just told her I had a cold. I love my man!

I've been back 4 days and every day someone has asked me if I've lost weight. Then of course they want to know how. I never told them I was having surgery this summer. So I came back to work 40 some pounds lighter. I've told them the truth about how I lost it. Most have been really intrigued and interested in knowing how I am doing. It's nice to have positive remarks and nice compliments! :)

I am really glad you were able to come out about it, and really glad to read you lost 40!

Sounds like your boss just really cares about you. Don't know why this makes you angry. Lots of people WISH they had a considerate (or at least attentive) boss! When your coworkers ask if you've lost weight it's because it shows. That's a perk of losing weight. Be happy, be proud, and when they ask say, "Yes, I have, and it's wonderful!"

It isn't that i don't think that he cares- but he is straight up trying to figure out if I am going out on medical and not going to be able to start with the students on September 4th. If this past week had been a regular school week I would have had to call in and he knows it. He just doesn't want to listen when I say I will be ready to go.

Ah, I see. Unfortunately, bosses have to worry about that stuff. Hope he gives you some space!
