Don't look my weight?

Okay so the whole surgery cancellation this is a massive pain in my ass but it has lead to my discovering something strange -- apparently I really don't look my weight. When I was speaking to my father about how my surgery was cancelled I said something along the lines of "How could this have happened? By simply looking at me you can see that I am way over 200lbs." His reply was that no, it wasn't a given anymore and that he frankly assumed that my current weight was around 200lbs. As a doctor I thought he would have been able to estimate weight better! But then when I was speaking with my sister, who is extremely fit and very into fitness in general, and was commening on how off the mark dad was and her reply was "Well, I guess I would have assumed the same thing! I wouldn't have necessarily guessed you were over 200lbs."


I know that I am very muscular and that while I have lost a lot of weight and LOT of inches I have also gained a lot of muscle mass over the past year or so, therefore I knew that I don't look like the full 270lbs that I weigh. However, I thought it was like a 20lb threshold, not a 70lb one. I honestly can't believe that I look anywhere near 200lbs. I just don't. Muscle or not, I still have a giant ass and thighs. LOL

Also, for what it is worth, I didn't disclose to my father my actual weight. It isn't his business, and it just isn't worth the sad and uncomfortable comments he would no doubt make about how he couldn't believe I had ever been as high a weight as I was. However, my incredulity over him thinking I was near 200lbs probably tipped him off to how wrong he was. ha ha ha

Hi,
You have no idea who I am but I found your blog from the weight watchers message boards and I have been following you for about two months now.
(God this sounds soooo stalkerish!)
Anyway I wanted to let you know that I think you are fantastic! You have such a great attitude, not to mention a sense of humour.
It really sucks that your surgery was cancelled, but at least now you have time to get to the goal that you wanted before the operation.
Ummm yeah, I guess that's all I wanted to say. But keep going and definitely keep writing on your blog cos I will be reading!
Thanks for inspiring me and making me laugh
Jules
