This put a big smile on my face! NSV

About 13 years ago, I lost 40 lbs on WW and became a lifetime member. I remember when I had gotten close to my goal, people would say to me, "I can't imagine you weighing 30 lbs more than you do now, you are just so slim".

I hoped this time around that I might have that happen again. Today it did! I was talking to two coworkers and the one looked at me and said, "I can't imagine you weighing 30 lbs more than you do, you look so great".

It really made me feel fabulous because I have been struggling with my body image. I still think of myself as the overweight (in the obese range) person who started this journey a year ago. I've seen a video of myself that was taken recently (while we were on vacation and walking on the beach) and I was shocked! I thought I was so much fatter than I really am. I still have 20 lbs to go to hit my ultimate goal, but I'm almost there. And people are noticing! It feels wonderful.

Keep on smiling

I know how you mean, exactly. The 'old' view of Self is very difficult to break. Hold on to those words when you go and look at yourself in the mirror.

You deserve those compliments and more! Only thing better than recognizing how great you look is getting unsolicited positive feedback!
