I bumped into someone at a party tonight who looked at me for a few minutes then asked if I had family in town. I do not have family within 3000 miles of here so we quickly ruled that out. She then insisted that she knew someone who looked a lot like me.
I knew that she was talking about a heavier version of me so I said the other person you saw was a different version of me, to which she responded with a I think this guys crazy face. I see it a lot so I'm used to it, then I showed her my drivers license with my old photo on it and she was shocked. The weight loss made her think I was a different person!
What's funny though is I feel like a different person, but not because I have lost weight. I feel like a different person because I have been through so much in the last six months. I feel transformed by the whole experience and were not even done yet. In fact I suspect this is just the begining of this journey/nightmare.
