where could it be? (m)

I went food shopping today and deliberately put two ten-pound sacks of potatoes and one five-pound bag of sugar in my cart.  I lifted them up and tried to hold all three items at one time.  They were very heavy.

I walked a few feet away from the cart and looked back. Yup, you definitely could see them.

So why don't I notice my own twenty-four pound weight loss?  I see it in my face a little, but not anywhere else.

I got home and saw that my older brother, Joe, called.  He and my sister-in-law would be in our neighborhood this afternoon and wanted to know if we would be home.  I invited them to dinner.  They said they heard about my diet and couldn't wait to see me.  I told them not to get too excited.

They arrive and I can tell they are trying their best to notice a difference.  Finally, my brother says: "maybe your face...a little?"

This is going to take forever.
