Really? Me?

Jul 20, 2009

I was busily plugging away on a new case nose deep in papers, hair pulled back, pencil stuck in my hair and mumbling to myself when I felt someone looking at me.  I pop my head up from looking down at all my medical records and see my co-worker Barb standing in the door way.  She said, "I just have to come out and ask, how do you get such a great shape around your abdomen and waist."  "Huh," was all I got out.  I was really confused.  Here she is this 5'2" , maybe 120 pound lady and she is asking how to get my waistline.  No way.  "What do you mean?" I asked.  She said, "What do you do to get that great silhouette that  you have?"  I stammered, waiting for her to burst out laughing, or point to the person behind me (when there should have been no one else in my office), but she never did, so I ran with it.  "Foundation garments, definitely foundation garments." (exercise too, but the shape is mostly from the garments).  I told her that ever since my surgery I just feel more contained wearing them and I guess a great benefit is the silhouette she seems to like.  I told her the name of them and where I bought them and she was pleased and went about her day.  I sat at my desk in a little bit of a stupor, kind of confused that someone would want my shape, the shape that I am learning to love as a part of me, but would certainly aspire for more.  I eventually fell face-first back into my work and forgot the great compliment for the time being, but wow, that came out of left field for me.
