Im already starting to have some mixed feelings about comments Im receiving as I lose more and more weight.
For the most part I love that people now notice & are commenting on it but there are a few things that niggle. Things I suspect will become more and more as time goes on.
Last night I was doing the shift handover to the night shift, now its kind of important, it involves running through the calls, let them know whats outstanding, the current status of the calls cops are at, any calls that the cops will need a relief from that kind of thing. I was going over things with the night shift and mid way through the girl I was talking to said out of the blue 'You know you can really see a real difference in your face' Ok, I appreciate the sentiments but the timing just totally threw me.
Ive had a few people ask how much Ive lost and are suitably impressed but then add 'Mind you youd piled on a bit' Yes, thank you I know, you dont need to state the obvious. Do people think because Im now addressing the problem then theyre free to make whatever comments they want?
The one thing I can really see me being self concious about as time goes in is the amount Ive lost which will become a direct link back to my starting weight. Im not sure how Ill feel admitting to people Ive lost 15/16 stones in weight.......
Does anyone else feel like this, will it pass? Am I just plain mad
