Since I work from home and I have a house full of interruptions, I usually head out to my local Panera Bread at least once a week for some interruption-free work time. I’ve been coming here for over a year now. Since I always come to the same Panera, around the same time each week, and I usually stay for the same amount of time, most of the employees recognize me. And I can tell that they can tell that I’ve lost weight. I haven’t had any questions come my way so far, but there have been a few looks. And the one guy who goes around clearing tables often takes my plate and takes notice of the fact that I routinely dissect my food and never finish more than maybe a third of it.
On a related note, here is a side by side comparison of me from this time last year, and me from yesterday!




Look at you Miss Thang!!! You look fantastic!
