A woman that I serve on 2 different committees with and see a few times a month plus when I bump into her at the grocery store or library in town stopped me and said - Ive been meaning to say to you, did you lose weight? I noticed that you looked thinner and really good at the meeting last week and didnt get a chance to tell you. You really look good - and good for you, I know how hard that is - I told her that I have lost some and that I really appreciated her comment, she stepped back and gave me a hug. I walked away with a smile on my face....

    Way to go! I think this is the validation we are all looking for. We may know we've lost a few pounds or a half-inch around our waist. But it's not quite real until someone comes up and spontaneously asks if you've lost weight.
  • That's wonderful. :)
    It's always nice to hear something like that from someone who you don't know extremely well, and doesn't know your struggle.

    That is awesome! I'm sure it's a wonderful feeling. One that I am anxiously waiting for myself.

    it really is the best feeling ever isn't it? i love it! sometimes when i lose weight i don't really notice it in myself, so when other people notice it, it gives me inspiration to step back, take a look and realize how far i've come. it's awesome to know your hard work is paying off, and being noticed.
