Hi! Welcome! You look adorable in that hat.

I just wanted to say "hello" - I am new here this week.

I agree with Cheryl, and also, while keeping the conversation short, also smile, as that may take the stress and ease away, from the asker, as yourself, too.

Machal, when I am dealing with people like that I just keep my conversation short and let them think what they want to think.

you're right and I will remember to do that next time! Thanks for the kind words, advice, support and friendship!

I know, we tend to feel we need to fill in the conversation when someone is curious. I just stop talking and no one has actually come out and asked me. Truth is, so long as you feel and look great, who cares? :)
Have you ever heard that if someone asks you something you don't want to answer you are supposed to say, "Why do you ask?" It puts THEM on the defensive and basically shows them that the question is inappropriate. Most people just back off. Good luck. I'm sure you'll look fabulous and all the other girls will envy you!

yes, I agree, but easier said than done. As soon as it's styled, I will post a new photo! I'm excited, yet anxious and nervous!

When people ask me if I've changed my hair I just say yes as it is true. If they compliment me I say thank you. No need to offer up any other information unless you want to.
Congrats on the weight loss, by the way, and I hope you post a photo of you in your new wig, Leah.

I'm in a predicament since I was at one job when all of my hair fell out, so most knew and who didn't know I was wearing different wigs everyday as "accessories", I didn't care. For the past year I've been at a new job and haven't told anyone here. I wore a different wig the other day, trying to get them prepared for my new "vacuum prosthesis" and got most comments from men! I guess if they haven't figured it out by then, they will with my "big reveal" in April. My piece is in and gets styled on the 17th, but I'm 20 pounds away from my weight loss goal and will come walking in looking like a different person, which will help with my confidence level! I know we should worry about what others think, but people are nosy, some rude and I'd rather not deal with everyone knowing my business!

Leah, I agree. I hate seeing minimal regrowth, while more of it sheds and is thinning. Ugh.
