Went to a reception at my old workplace. My supervisor there is getting ready to retire and I was invited to attend because I worked with her for 8 years. I have been away from there for 5 years and have kept up with a couple of people by phone. The last time I saw any of my old co-workers, I was at my highest weight and my hair was really long. Imagine everyone's surprise when I walked in - almost 100 pounds gone and my hair cut to my chin!!!

I got soooo many compliments! I had quite a few people who did not recognize me at first and to be able to see the expressions on their faces was absolutely priceless!!!! I still can't get over how many people said I was "skinny" although I still have 40 pounds to lose. Loved every minute of it! Gosh - I really like the "new me"!!!
