  • Well THAT put me in a good mood!

    Coming in to work today, grabbed my usual breakfast from a cafe downstairs and went up to my floor. Talked a bit with a new employee while I was filling up my water bottle. She asked me about my food as she didn't realize there was a place you could get hot food so close. I mentioned it was also a pretty decent deal, my usual breakfast is 2 eggs, 2 strips of bacon for $2.65.

    She said "That is a good deal, but you don't get any bread with it?"
    I said "Well you could get bread, but I just stick with the bacon and eggs"
    She replied "Well, that must be how you stay slim, I just love bread..have to have it with my breakfast".

    I had to laugh. Not about the fact that she has to have bread (though that's too bad) just that since she is new she doesn't know how much I used to weigh. "that must be how you stay slim". indeed, hehe.

    Made me feel so dang good.

        That is so great! I had a similar thing with someone when I started a new course. It made me do a double take and helped to change my self perception.

        Great start to the day too

                        What a fantastic start to the day for you. "Thats how you stay so slim"...I'm sure those words will be ringing in your head for some time to come.

                        Great deal on breakfast too!

                        Congrats!
