I walk in and the dude at the counter, one of which I see about 2x a week, says "Looks like someone has lost more weight!". He then goes into detail saying:
"Hey man, don't wanna to be a jerk or anything..but a few months ago your stomach was out to here, then it went down to here and now it's here..you're doing a great job man!" (he was imitating using his hands and stomach, haha)
I thought it was pretty cool that he told me this, it really motivated me even more!

    Thanks friends! It was a good feeling to have someone whom I don't really know notice it. :)

    That is really cool. And those observations are often way more accurate than our own. I think it is quite common to obssess a bit with what we see as our own weaknesses. Recently my trainer remarked, "Between you and me a lot of people around here are commenting on what you're achieving." I kind of "Huh!?" I hadn't told him but I was actually a bit irritated and frustrated that day.

    So that dude is probably seeing a very accurate picture that you may not be able to see for yourself. Way to go, pleased for you!

    I know as a girl, I'd be a little offended and embarrassed if somebody imitated my fatness with their hands! Lol. But, that's so great. :) Good job.

    I LOVE that! Because you and your family/closest friends see you every day, but someone who doesn't see you all the time can really see your progress! Congratulations and keep up the hard work!!!
