The narcissist in me in hoping that I'll go out without my puffa in late Spring and the playground will collectively do a deep intake of breath
Glad to see I’m not the only admitted member with an inner narcissist.
The collective intake of breath will happen, but it will happen quietly.
Which brings me to Lyrata as well.
It can be difficult with significant weight loss. People don’t always know what to say. Commenting “OMG you’ve lost tons!” doesn’t always make is feel good, does it?
Not commenting doesn’t make us feel good either sometimes. 
It’s tricky.
Mostly I look at any compliment as a gift so the only appropriate response is a “thank you.” No explaining, no complaining, no questioning.
By the way everyone—I’ve been laughing quite a bit with all the clever shit going on and especially enjoyed the “Miss” and sneaking a fag etc from earlier. This is certainly a lovely lot. Let’s have more, it’s a highlight for me, and I sincerely wish us all the best for this Bootcamp. Mwah!!
