Overheard (Not really "overheard" but an actual conversation between me and...someone else. One of those "You had to hear it to believe it" sort of conversations.):
Her: You look good. You've lost weight. How much have you lost?
Me: 22 pounds.
Her: Wow. Good for you.
Me: Thanks. You know, (mutual friend) has lost over 100 pounds. 120, I think. Maybe more.
Her: Wow! I had no idea she was trying to lose weight. That's awesome.
(Go on about our day and have other conversations. Later....)
Her: Did you go to So-And-So's birthday party?
Me: No, we were on vacation.
Her: Oh. Well, I was there. (Wouldn't she have known if I was there, then? Regardless.) And (mutual friend mentioned above) was there, too. So, that was good. I got to see her.
Me: Wait. You saw (mutual friend) a month ago, and you're SURPRISED she lost 120 pounds?
Her: Yeah, well, I don't usually notice unless it's something monumental.
*headdesk*
*facepalm*
Sounds extremely "monumental" to me. 120 pounds is amazing - way to go to your friend. And, "hello, catch a clue!" to your other friend. Also, way to go, to you too. You are doing awesome.
