I’m trying to get home to Chicago after visiting family in Detroit, and 10 mins before departure at 7:00 AM they tell us that all trains are cancelled for the day. sadly there are only two trains per day and they can’t guarantee that the 5:11 PM train will leave, so I have been rebooked on tomorrows train. I am already delayed by 24 hours and really hope that tomorrows train is fine. It is about a 5 hour drive. We are preparing for the possibility of them having to drive me home or at least to South Bend.

I was supposed to arrive in Detroit on Saturday. I was delayed by over 12 hours as my train to Detroit was cancelled as well and was rebooked for Sunday morning.

If I book months in advance I could get a flight for under $200. Sadly I think I might have to switch to flying, even if the flight is only like 45 minutes.

I’ve recently lost enough weight that it’s become pretty noticeable. I’ve gone down a few pants sizes and, for the first time in a long time, I’m no longer usually the biggest person in the room, I’m more “average” sized now.

Something I didn’t expect, though, is that some of the overweight people in my life have started acting differently toward me. Not outright hostility, things that feel a bit like bullying.

I’m trying not to take it personally, because I know weight and body image can be emotional topics, but it’s been surprising and honestly a little hurtful. Has anyone else experienced changes in friendships or social dynamics after losing weight?
