Ok so I've lost 14 pounds ALL TOGETHER! My self esteem is back up. I can see it in my midsection. I haven't yet truly dropped a pant size, no idea when this will happen, but my pants are a little looser. So it's going well.

I've had 4 or 5 people here at work tell me I look thinner. Now I don't know if they're saying this because they know I'm dieting or if there really is something different about me. When should I put that "HAPPY FACE" on?

What do you think?

    Sometimes we cant see it in ourselves because well we always see ourselves in the mirror, but when people start telling you thats a HUGE PLUS! I would definately be encouraged if people started noticing it on me...
