A day does not go by when at least one person does not compliment me on my weight loss. I have had so many people tell me that I have inspired them to start losing weight. i guess I really didn't know people said these things to practical strangers. These are just people I see at work walking down the halls. It has taken a long time to get used to people complimenting me everyday and I probably don't respond with the appropriate answer.. People want to talk to me about weight loss and exercise and running of all things. ME. This amazes me every single time. Anyways, I guess the point is, if that is not my biggest NSV, then I do not know what is.

I find it is such good encouragement to keep going when people notice. I had someone tell me this morning I was looking very slim - it made my day!

That's great! Having people you know take notice of your hard work is one thing (and a good one at that) but then you almost expect they would make the appropriate comments and give praise to you being as you are their friend or family member. BUT to have people who don't know you well (maybe a pass in the hall at work now and again or at the gym etc) Really notice you and see the difference in you is so inspiring! Not just to them but to you as well!!

Keep up the amazing work. I wish you great health and continued success on your journey!

I can understand that feeling... I had one person who has not seen me in 6 months in shock. It's hard to see the big changes when you live it everyday, but only takes one person to help you understand how big it is.
