@TransientTinkerer That definitely works. How are your numbers looking? I am pre diabetic. I take Ozempic and Metformin. Between the two they keep my A1C, blood sugar, number in line. 🙂

@Musicman Great as of right now. Lab work looks great. I could raise my hdl a little, but it’s good right now
I’ve been in hypertension for months. I thought it was beer, but just found out it’s sodium. I’m way high. I’ve been taking a lot of sports supplements, which are made for rehydration. So a ton of sodium. I’m shaving that a little at a time and my bp is coming down accordingly.

overly sensitive, you kidding?
You lost 30lbs! Congratulations!!! Keep on going strong, care for your health, well being and appearance.
Why they don't notice? Are they too stressed with their live, or have you made them too comfortable not noticing you...? This is not okay, you matter and you should be seen.
Kudos to the co-worker who noticed!

I don’t think it’s you being overly sensitive. I think it’s you being under appreciated. Please forgive me for that boldness as I do not intend on hurting those you care about. I’d never want to do that.
But…the weight loss would be noticeable, as would the haircut given how drastic such a haircut is. I…I just wish they’d see you more. You really deserve that instant recognition 😔. I say that as someone who probably notices too much though.

@PerfectionOfTheHeart You do notice too much. Because you’re like me; tuned into those around you.
And I know like me, you extend grace to others because it’s you, not them. I don’t know how to not be so focused on them. We have to do life together. It’d just be nice if they felt the same way

Oh bless! Well done! Very impressed with the fat loss!
I know what you mean about hair and things. I teach, so I am a little older and can have a few grey hairs. Get they dyed, the children notice straight away..some colleagues do....my wife? Not always!
So I do feel disappointed then, so I get what you mean.
Keep on going. The world will catch up with you and they'll be surprised. That's when you drop the "Well you didn't notice!" bomb on them!

@Just4fun it is. The haircut thing; it wouldn’t have bothered me anymore than usual that no one ever notices, but the “oh, you got your hair cut!” two days later? At that point, just don’t say anything
TransientTinkerer · 41-45, M
@Just4fun I chuckled because I was going to say, I could go on and on with examples, but I’d wear out the thread. It’d probably be better to just dm.

@BrandNewMan I’ve been wondering if it’s a normal husband/father thing. Which is why I’m open to the possibility of just being overly sensitive. It just feels crummy; like a tool brought out when needed, but never wanted
BrandNewMan · 61-69, M
@TransientTinkerer I've lived this to an extent. I'm a big guy and can understand my early weight loss going unnoticed. It was my youngest son that noticed first. I was down more than twice your 30 before most others did. Talk about not feeling seen by those around you. I get where you are at here .. and it doesn't sound oversensitive to me.
TransientTinkerer · 41-45, M
@BrandNewMan Thank you, sir
TransientTinkerer · 41-45, M
@JamesBugman thanks James! I finally got serious in September. I lost the love of fitness for about 7 years
@TransientTinkerer So what was the secret? Lifting weights, or treadmill or what?
TransientTinkerer · 41-45, M
@JamesBugman The biggest contributor is counting calories. But that did cause me to get more serious about my gym time. I’m mostly cardio right now, but I do 4 days in the gym

@VampireQueen That’s a very to-the-point way of saying exactly what I’m about to do 💛
