Got Lean?
Having gotten lean, GetnLean says she loves running into old friends who do doubletakes when they see her in her new body. One of my clients who achieved a dramatic weigh loss this year lists, in order of enjoyability, his favorite experiences as an “invisible man”:
(1) Not being recognized by relatives
(2) Not being recognized by co-workers
(3) Not being recognized by the guy at the coffee truck who used to call out “large grits, extra butter” to the cook as soon as he saw you coming
(4) Not being quite sure you recognize a relative because she got fatter – and realizing that walking in front of her a few times to see if she’ll recognize wouldn’t work because you’re unrecognizable thin
(5) Feeling insulted at being instantly recognized by an old acquaintance makes no comment about your weight loss – and then realizing that it’s because you look exactly like you did twelve years ago when you last saw him.
