Forgot to mention this in my previous post...but the biggest (and funniest) NSV of this trip so far occured at the Detroit airport. I had picked up my luggage at the baggage carousel and called my son on the cell phone to tell him I was heading outside to the curb for him to pick me up. (He had called me earlier to say that he had found a "parking" spot along the pick-up curb at the opposite end of the terminal.)

Well, I waited a few minutes and finally, I saw his car with precious granddaughter in it and waved at them.

Ready...

Wait for It....

Here it comes....

He didn't
recognize me
and <img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_12_6.gif' border=0>
drove right past me!!!

Luckily the car in front of him stopped so I was able to catch-up to him and "gently" pound on the trunk to get him to notice he had just driven past his mother!!!

Boy, was he apologetic and amazed. Come to think about it,the last time I weighed this much he was in Junior High (he's 29 now). Thank God, granddaughter Maggie didn't have the same problem and welcomed me with hugs and kisses.

That's too funny!!! But what a GREAT nsv. I bet he's never gonna live that one down!

[sidrah]

Aren't you a little glad he didn't know you? That means you are defintiely doing it right!

Thanks Carmel! I'm going to be laughing all day thinking about that. Hope you're enjoying your visit and grandaughter. I'm sure you are.

Hugs,

Keturah

Carmel,

What a fun NSV!

The Detroit airport is almost as nice as the Pittsburgh airport. That's where I had my quick change from my way too baggy dockers to my size 14 shorts.....great shopping opportunities, lol.

As for your grandaughter noticing......I've lost enough weight to look like a totally different person, but my grandson hasn't said a word about it to me or his mom and dad. Strange! Every time I see him, he runs into my arms with a big "Grandma!!!!!". I guess it's not looks that matter.

I think that is the best NSV I have read here!

For your OWN SON to not even recognize you must mean that you are doing this thing right!

That is so great! That had to make you feel so good.

How COOL is that!!??!!! No question now as to whether they would notice the difference!!!!!

And....isn't it great: Maggie sees you from the heart - out....That should be a lesson to me as I look at others! Not so easy when, as "heavies" we have often seemed to be judged on our appearance alone.

But, as it so often happens "a child shall lead them".

Enjoy all those unconditional hugs and kisses!!
