Who knew static cling could be a good thing?
It has been insanely cold here, we had 5 inches of snow yesterday, then hail, then a small ice storm…all that is missing is the locusts. Anyway, the furnaces have been working overtime.
Last night on my way to work, I had the car heater pumping and once I finally got there my sweater was completely stuck to me with static cling. Like I could see little sparks coming off my sweater when I tried to shake it out.
Luckily I had my handy can of Static Gaurd in my purse, but decided to spray myself down after I got inside.
I walked in the door, almost running smack into a co-worker, Jim, who did a double take at me and said, quite loudly, ”Holy shit Erika, how much weight have you lost?” A few regulars turned around and they echoed the same compliments.
According to Jim, he hadn’t been able to really see a change, other than in my face, because my clothes are so loose. But thanks to my static cling issues he could finally see all my hard work was paying off. He even bought me dinner, low carb of course.
Once this diet is finished I am going to have to get the kitchen staff a nice gift. They have been so kind and patient with me and all my special orders. Even my boss, the executive chef, has been creating special low carb versions of his dishes for me.
I am very lucky and grateful for all the support.
I’m off to dig out my car, I have a 15 hour day ahead of me…better get moving now.

Ugh…Are you sick of the snow too? I live in Northern Indiana and I cant wait until spring and 50 degree weather.
Isnt it great when others (not family members) notice the weight loss!! Good for you! Keep up the good work and try to stay warm.
WOW thank God we didn’t get but a few little bit of dust…I hate snow and cold ugh! That is so awesome when people notice you lose weight it makes it all worth it! Keep up the good work and try to stay warm. Digging out the car…man that’s got to be a real headache!
