Well, right now I'm back up almost to my original starting weight, but the FIRST time I lost a lot and went down to 150, the reaction I got from customers at work was the best thing EVER!!!
I had a regular (I'm a waitress) who was a sleaseball and used to say really vulgar stuff when I was fat and stuff like "I bet you let guys do ***** (vulgarity removed) just to be with you." All I could do was smile and nod and say "Do you want a refill?"
Well, they were painters, and they weren't working in the area of our store when I went from 180ish to 150ish, and when they came back the guy stopped dead in his tracks mouth hit the floor and said very slowly, "Wooooooow. Is that you? Are you the same girl I use to get in here before?" I said, "Yeah, I changed a little huh?"
He said, "Wow, I think now I can actually ask you on a date!" To which I replied, "Honey, you didn't have a chance 50 lbs. ago either."
That was my glory moment.
But, other than him, I had a lot of NICE regulars, say things all the time like "Wow, you are MELTING." and "You are shrinking!" and "What have you been doing lately? You're getting so small!" I replied to that one, proudly, "Atkins actually." And he said, "Oh okay,I used to do that actually, so... you must be pooping a LOT huh?" I laughed, half shocked he would even say that to a waitress, let alone in front of all his co-workers at lunch, and I said, "Actually, no... But, it's still coming off anyway?" It was still funny... and ackward I guess...
But, that's that kind of stuff I'm looking forward to again
The memory of those reactions are SO inspiring, and I hope you all have your own glory moments!!!!
