I haven't had many people notice that i have lost weight and I am not sure I really want them to cuz sometimes it feels like they are saying, hey I just realized how fat you used to be. Anyway I have really only had 2 people mention anything abut it so I was thinking it really isn't that noticeable even though I have lost 30 lbs.

Today I saw a woman who's birth I went to and her baby is 9 months old so I haven't seen her in about 7.5 months and like 2 seconds after she looked at me she commented that I looked like I have lost weight. I said thanks and changed the subject.

Then later someone else who had been the whole time said something about she is going to try to lose weight by doing the stupid hCG diet soon cuz nothing she tries ever works. (I say it is stupid, she didn't.) It was weird because I have seen her a few times recently and she has never said anything, but I guess the comment from the other woman made her realize I have lost weight or made her feel like it was ok for her to say something. I actually felt kinda bad cuz it seemed like once it had been acknowledged that I had lost weight she felt the need to say she was going to or to justify why she was still fat... I don't know. I read too much into stuff sometimes.

    HUGE congratulations on your weight loss and that is fantastic that people are starting to notice. Don't feel bad about the other lady feeling like she 'had' to mention something, if anything you would have given her inspiration that it can be done :-)

    And I rarely notice people's weight loss / gain, only because a persons weight is not what's important to me, if I like the person, and they are happy & healthy then that's what I notice more, or like you say, if I do notice I don't want to say as that would imply I thought they were big before!

    Enjoy your NSV for what it is and well done!!
