First Week At Work

[Cheles 75]

This is my 1st week back at work since being sleeved on 12/20. I thought I was going to be the "freak on display". Thankfully it wasn't that way. Although, the ENTIRE building knew about my surgery...can you say GOSSIP CENTRAL?

Anyway, I had cleaned out 1/4 of my closet before returning to work. That left me with 22 and 20 sized pants to wear. Well, I wore 22 on the 1st day and my legs were swimming in them. Some of my co-workers were like, you need smaller pants!.

So, the next day I wear 20's. I only had 3-pairs of size 20 in my closet. And again I heard, you need smaller pants you are swimming in them. Tuesday night I shopped my mom's closet for the 1st time in my life. She's always been smaller then me. This was a treat! She's a classic,, tailored dresser like I am. She gave me all her 18 pants, some 1X tops, blazers, and the beautiful navy blue dress coat (which I have adored for years). I came home, emptied out another portion of my closet and hung all these beautiful clothes. Mind you, mom's pants are way to long for me and I need to get them hemmed.

So off to work I go Thursday. I have on 18's which are comfy and dressy. My shoes...well, I've lost a shoe size so my Pliner which I hadn't worn in 4-years were sliding off my feet! Ugg! I'm so ticked about that....really, my feet this quick??

Thrusday was also the day of the 1st instance of a freak on display occured. I got a good laugh about it. They didn't ask me a question or say anything about the surgery. They just stared and said "Welcome back...you were missed".

I also received a wonderful compliment about how my weight loss has taken 10-years off my face. That made my day!
