And now for something completely different

Well maybe you should just continue being yourself even if they are weird and then maybe they'll snap out of it. If not, well you've done what you can do. I was thinking of suggesting explicit discussion eg saying to them "i've noticed u've been uneasy around me now i've lost weight. Just wanted to assure you that i'm not out to get ur man!" LOL I think that would go down like a lead balloon. Teehee. I guess you could do it in more subtle ways though like by dressing nicely but not dressing to attract attention and by just not getting involved with the politics. I bet they are just jealous cos they want to get into cycling too. Funny how everyone( including me!) wants to be goodlooking given all the trouble it causeshttp://www.cyclingforums.com/images/icons/icon10.gif. Hope all works out
