Several people have started calling me "skinny minney" when they see me. I find it unusual that they would do that because if they were just meeting me now, they would never think that about me. However, their previous perception of me as being "heavy", "fat", or "obese" seems to change what they see now...interesting.
Yesterday an older man at the gym was chatting, told me I was looking good, then told me not to gain it all back now, and then the kicker. "So are you going to have surgery to get rid of all of your extra skin after?" When I told him no, that it didn't bother me, he suggested that I not decide right now but wait a bit longer, I'm still young! Really interesting!
The day before yesterday a woman I know asked me if my grandchildren have seemed to notice or made any comments about my weight loss. When I told her no, she said that was not surprising, as they probably don't even notice that about me...I'm just Gramma! Priceless!! They still like to jiggle my bat wings and snuggle with me, so I think she is probably right. That's what I choose to believe at any rate.
Just perfect, elly

Interesting perceptions, especially the first one, for me! Our society is so confused between being skinny and being healthy!
