Yeah, you know the ones, where someone says something that makes you question all the hard work you've been putting in to lose weight? Yeah- that was me today, someone asked if I felt the work I was putting in was paying off and then said 'well maybe in a couple weeks it will be noticable'. 30 days in, making major lifestyle changes and it's not even noticeable to someone that sees me every day? I tried and I couldn't just let it roll off my back. I got VERY upset and had to go into the bathroom to gather myself (I don't think the person meant harm) and am still really sad about it. I have recovered twice from an ED, so it's hard for me to take this stuff in stride. Anyway, just wanted to vent and see if anyone could identify. My husband was great in trying to make me feel better but it didn't help.

    It is very rough and I can relate. My changes were really, really, really slow which meant it took about a year for anyone to say something. To top it off, weight loss can be a touchy subject and the people out there who notice (trust me, they are out there) won't say anything until given a golden opportunity or until you bring it up with them. Keep going, you'll blow that naysayer out of the water soon enough.
