So I was at work 2 days ago with a partner from work I don't see that often. He said I looked Great!! what was I doing?? you look like you lost 20 lbs!!! .......is it good that I have only lost 5 lbs.......did I look that bad before???? I guess I should just be glad he noticed all the work I have been doing. So far he has been the only one to comment that I look better including hubby. Maybe people are shy to say when someone looks better for weight loss.... I know that I didn't mention it to someone that I have seen in awhile and I know that she HAS lost about 20 lbs since I have last seen her. I should have spoken up and given her some positive feedback.

Your results show in your face. It may not look thinner, you may not look thinner, but there something to be said about determination and dedication. It shows in your face, in your demeanor, and body carriage.

Friday was donut day at the office. There is one very fit woman in our department. She started to not eat in front of me. I told her to enjoy the donut for the both of us and that I would be taking a trip to Austin, Texas to the closest Krispy Kreme after this was done.

It's not that I don't like them, it's that I learned they tend to stick with me, and like Lay's potato chips--I cannot eat just one!

5 pounds lost out of a 25-pound-loss goal is a lot more obvious than 5 pounds on a 100-pound-loss goal. YES!! Take it as a compliment.
And I hope you have a second chance to tell your friend that you DID notice a 20-pound loss. We all need the encouragement.
