Sharing just in case anybody has been through this before or feeling the same...just feeling thoughtful today...

It's gotten to the point where everybody and their mother stops me to ask about my weight loss...every. single. day.

They call me the incredible shrinking woman at work...and they keep saying I'm going to disappear...and when they say that I kinda get sad actually 'cause I think...am I disappearing? Am I just going blend in now? Disappear into the crowd? I know that's silly but it's oh so real for me. Will I be just average? Boring?

This isn't just about weight loss for me...it's about redefining myself and rediscovering myself.

I feel an extreme mixture of pride of my accomplishment and a soft undertone of mourning the loss of "me"
