<human>: So my 6 month milestone hit the other week and during that time I had been purposefully silent about my efforts in the work place. This was for no other reason than me wanting to keep my progress internalized, by doing this it helps me avoid backsliding.

Anyway my work mates had been incredibly quiet on the subject, not a single mention. I chalked this up to people either not noticing (because they see me everyday) or because they're being polite and don't' want to comment on a guys weight.

That all changed the other week when on casual Friday I came into work and took my hoodie off and a colleague gasped, turns out she had just been rifling through the work Christmas party photos from 2014 and it had finally clicked. I then (with a big fucking dumb smile lol) explained that as of that week I had lost 60 lbs. After a bit of a chat where I got lots of congratulations and questions about my success I felt like a million bucks :)

I thought it would end there. Turns out the floodgates have been opened. Looks like office gossip has kicked into over drive because it's now like a clown car of colleagues individually approaching me to congratulate me on my efforts. I'm not going to lie, it's pretty fucking wonderful. 

We had a group lunch last Friday and someone openly turned the tables conversation to my efforts and I was then for the next while bombarded with praise and questions, it was a fascinating experience. I've gotten more compliments on my appearance in the past week than I have in my entire 27 years of being.

I can only hope that the inspiration I give helps the people I work with if they want to make the change. I've always prefaced any response I've given with "I'm happy to answer any questions if you have any :)" and so far quite a few have done so.

It's weird being the positive center of attention for gossiping coworkers. I think I like it? **Who am I kidding, I do :)

Condense the text into a few key points
<bot>: Coworkers finally noticed I've lost 60 lbs and now I need to readjust my goal weight to allow for my bigger head
