Smile Halarious, unrecognizable moment!

I was out with a group of friends a few weeks ago, when a man approaches me, places his hand at the small of my back and says, "Hi, whats your name?"
I replied, "Hello, and dude I totally know you!!!!!" He says, "know me? How do you know me?" I said, "Well the last time I saw you, you were supposed to take me out on a date and you stood me up, and when I went out with my girlfriends to pout about it I saw you hugged up on another girl!"
His mouthed dropped to the floor.
He said," We had a date?" I said "Yes." He said "Whats your name?". I said Bridget. He responded, "Your not Bridget, I know a Bridget and your not her." I said, "Yes I am, Im Jennifer's sister. " He once again insisited that he knew a Bridget and I definitely wasnt her.
After playing 20 questions, and then being blown away at "Why i would do something like that to myself." I said, "Do what? Lose weight?" He kept insisting I wasnt "THAT BIG" to go and do something drastic! (At this point he had no idea I had WLS) He then asked how I did it, I told in which he was more horrified. I told him, "Dude I lost 125 pounds, yes I WAS THAT BIG!"

It was just halarious because in all ths time this had to have been the craziest reaction to my weightloss. BTW, he is STILL an ass.

okay Im ready for any of your story too... if ya have one!

What Sawyer would call me on LOST: ladybug

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."

A few weeks ago I was at The Open Bar with some girlfriends (I know shocker) when I walked past this guy, and I looked at my friend and said I think I know him. We went to the bathroom, and walked by him again and I was like I'm sure I know him. So I walked up to him and said Keith he looked and me and said yeah. I said it's me Jeanie. He looked at me for a minute and said DAMN girl you are fine. He said you were always fine but DAMN girl look at you now. I just smiled at him and said yeah. We use to work together and we were buds at work but I haven't seen him in like 3-4 years. I thought his mouth was going to hit the floor! It was kind of cool to see his reaction.

Bridget

That is a funny story...I can say I would love to run into some of the guys that I dated a few years back that kept me as their hidden girlfriends. To let them see me now. I bet that felt great.

I impress myself lately.

I know it sounds weird, but I look in the mirror and...dang, is that me???

I am not a gorgeous beauty, I am not highly intelectual, I am a mom and a wife with a middle class job, but what I am not is....fat!
My throat chokes up and my eyes well up.

Moment still going strong!!

Thumbs up My stories.........

Okay, I can add to this...........

In my industry, I have many contacts between vendors, contractors, fellow distant associates, etc. Therefore, I have many "industry get togethers" where everyone proceeds to "tie one on" and the men begin to flirt and try all kinds of things with the women.

Over the past year or so, I have run into SOOOOOOO many men that would try to fondle me and ooooogle at me in the past. I would play their game and because of my low self esteem and allow it.

As a matter of fact, Holly is in my industry and would be considered a vendor to me. We recently ran into each other at a trade show. (And might I say she looked so fabulous that I walked right past her at her booth! I didn't even recognize her! ) Right Holly?

So anyway, it's funny how I can walk right up to a man, or woman, now and they have NO IDEA who I am until........................they hear my voice! Of course anyone who knows me knows my "unique" or shall I say "loud" voice and laugh!

I just really enjoy tripping the beeegeeezus out of men! And I also enjoy them "soaking it all in" when I walk away from them, smiling of course and shaking my a$$. All the way thinking..........."Ha! I have someone who cares for me and loves me BEFORE AND AFTER, you Loser!"

He He.........That's my story!
