“Nurse Kevin! Are you Losing Weight?”
Walking to the conference room of our hospice agency’s building, a fitness buff in her own right, and one of the easiest nurses to ever work with (I could tell you stories about “other nurses”), was “following” me to the weekly meeting. “Nurse Kevin!” I heard her say behind me.
“That’s me! What’s up?!”
“Are you losing weight? You’re looking kinda loose in the caboose!”
The scale lies! Measurements LIE! Other people when asked about your weight when you are fishing for a complement...LIE! When you ask for that validation, most people will stand back and look at you while they search their memory files looking for a memory of a fatter-you that is more fat than the fat-still self standing in front of them. The sweetness of that unsolicited complement in the hallway that day was sweeter than all the cake, cookies, and sodas that I had denied myself over the preceding weeks.
Over the next few weeks the weight-loss continued with “power-ups” being received at each “Nurse Kevin! Are you losing weight?!” Those “power-ups” came in all kinds of forms, “Looking good, Nurse Kevin!” “Nurse Kevin, you're getting skinny!”
