accolades & compliments

trainorgirl

why is everyone needing such accolades with their weight loss??? I dont get it.. everyone is complaining that no one is noticing/ complimenting them for getting healthy!!! Is it just a simple ego boost that people are looking for?? cause I am not healthy for people to give me praise!!!! why does it seem like all the time I am continuing reading about how "people havent noticed" there is a difference between motivation/encouragement and pity party/self sabotage- no one has noticed!!!! just wondering!:happy:

woou

i don't know. i really haven't seen much of it on here myself. just before and after pictures.

I admit i like getting compliments about other things but for weightloss, that's actually the area that i don't need compliments in, b/c how i feel physically, the difference in my appearance, the number on the scale, measurements, etc... speak for themselves. :laugh:

For many of us this is a very hard lifestyle change, having someone else say that they notice the change is just validation that what you are doing is accomplishing something. I can see and feel the difference but hearing someone else say it is just a nice little boost
