Congrats!

THANK YOU!

You look simply amazing. I think it's hysterical she actually got in a snit because she thought you were trying to dupe her.

she's right lell....it doesn't look like you. it's almost impossible to see it's a before and after shot. it's really amazing.....

Big changes must sometimes bring up a lot of stuff for the people around us. I worry about this in my usual way of banking anxiety in advance -- what will I say, what if people like me better when I'm thinner and that feels weird, unfair...etc. And so I love how out there you are with your colleagues -- it's inspiring me to be more open. Maybe. But just so you know I like the you on the left as well -- so glad for your health, your success -- congratulations on the results of all your hard work!

WOW!

You look great now. I had never seen your before picture. Keep up the amazing work.

I did see your before picture in a white dress.

Wow! You look like a different person. You must feel on top of the world.

WOW, A-mazing transformation! You look positively fantastic!!

Lying, really? Why on earth would someone lie about that?? Geez.....

Just as another anecdote to this story, I went and saw my 7yo the same weekend I wrote the original blog post, and I was talking to my ex about this subject on the Sunday. I showed the ex the picture above and my son spied it over my shoulder. He then got upset because he wouldn't believe that the person on the left was me and thought we were making fun of him.

My older kids remember that photo of course, but obviously my youngest doesn't ever remember mum being heavier...
