I had a lovely lunch with Z today. I have to say that I really enjoy her company - she is always interesting and she just exudes goodness. But...she hasn't seen me in over a year and she did not even notice the weight loss. I really don't want people coming up to me and telling me how good I look or what have you, but I would like someone to acknowledge the weight loss without me having to talk about it. In group all I hear about is how people are always commenting on how much weight they have lost and how good they look. No one _ without my prompting _ has made a comment about it (okay maybe B did, but she has been reading this blog.)
I think as I have said time and time again in this blog people don't see it. They develop a mental image in their head and that is what they see unless there is a really drastic change - and I guess I haven't lost enough weight for there to be that "drastic" change. Mores the pity. But I do have to say that some of the people who were talking about how people were mentioning their weight loss -I personally couldn't see the loss as much as they said their friends did.
BUT - I do know that their is a change because I see it, and I am one who shouldn't be seeing it since it is happening to me. Oh well - it is an interesting study in human behavior.

But but but...maybe she thought it was impolite. I'll bet lots of people feel that way.
ReplyDeleteI also concur with T2 - women tend to not make comments about weight (good or bad). As we unfortunately know, guys are just oblivious, so we're no help.
ReplyDeleteIn addition, T3 wears baggy clothes which tend to conceal rather than reveal - my comment: SHE'S LOOKING GUUUUDDDDDD!!!!!
Sexist T' (aka TSH) signing off - the weight loss is noticeable. RLB likely didn't notice since Dick isn't going to win the Mr. Observant awarde (I know, I know - TSH will never win the "Sherlock Holmes Award" given my dismal performance at my 65th conception party - I was trulyfaked out)
