Greatest NSV I've had

I was coaching a swim practice like I do every summer and a woman I know fairly well walked up to me, asked me if I was related to a coach named Anna, and told me that I looked exactly like her. When I told her that I was Anna, she looked so embarrassed and continued to repeat that she couldn't believe how amazing I looked. It was one of the most flattering and self-confidence boosting comments I've ever gotten!
It's really difficult for me because even at a 60 pound weight loss, I barely see a difference in myself. I look in the mirror and see the exact same unhealthy girl I used to be. The only way I know it's working are by the compliments I receive just like this one. They truly make all of the hard work worth it. :smile:

    Wow what a beautiful compliment :) 60 pounds is such an incredible feat! Nice work staying dedicated to your health and well being. I've heard it can take awhile for your mind to mentally catch up to weight loss. Stay positive :)

    Congrats Anna. You never see it in yourself.

    Anybody want to bet that Brad Pitt and George Clooney don't think they are handsome?

    Self-image will get you every time.

    That is why the NSVs are so sweet.

    Congrats and well done.
