NSV - "Have you lost weight?"

Tonight I saw several friends I had not seen in 3-4 weeks. I had not told any of them I was on this journey, which started in earnest at the beginning of August. They all asked if I'd lost weight and told me I looked thinner and healthier. I was flabbergasted, since I've only lost 9 pounds max - the number varies so much that I've stopped using weight as a goal - and I don't see it. But the unsolicited feedback, and support and encouragement to continue - feels like a victory and is incredibly motivational.

  • We live in our bodies, so it is much more difficult for us to see the change, even when it is obvious to everyone else! Just keep up the good work. Continue living a healthier life, and you'll reach your goal! Good luck and congrats!
