    My Daughter Didn't Recognize Me!

    I had not seen my daughter since she got married the beginning of November. My wife picked her up at the airport just a couple of hours ago and I met them for lunch. I walked right up to them and she looked at me and said she saw me walk in, but didn't recognize me. She could not get over how much weight that I had lost and how much thinner that I was, especially in my face.

    Here is the picture of us at the wedding (after I had already lost a bunch of weight).




    and another picture of the newer me!

    Oh, that's just a beautiful story! Thanks for sharing. I love moments like those..makes me all weepy

    I can't see the one from the wedding, I'm sure it was a beautiful time for your family. But in your newer picture you look really happy. And a smile is worth a million words

    Best wishes on your journey.

              It took a bit to get the wedding picture to show up. But it did! Kewl Beans!

              So you're the one who's putting on the mileage in that challenge! ...

                        Now it is my dentist! Went in for my teeth cleaning today and they wanted to know what I did with Don and who I was! I then got to spend the next several minutes talking with the staff on how I did it and what Atkins is REALLY all about. Not what they heard. When they found out what I was eating, they realized how totally balanced that the diet really was and that it was something that you could continue to do for life without starving yourself. I think I may have made a couple of converts today!
