I don't tell anyone how much I weigh, I don't tell anyone what my goals are and how much I want to weigh. All I share with my immediate family is how much more I've lost last week, this week, etc.,BECAUSE THEY ASK !!! And I only tell people at work when they ask as well. I'm happy enough with myself for getting this far and sticking with it to make up for everyone else.0

My friends are pretty good at noticing my 25# weight loss. My family never says anything even though they may notice. sigh! I wish they would comment, however they never commented how overweight I was either. thankfully. I'm thinking that maybe if they compliment me now, then it says, "yeah, you were heavy", and they don't want to validate that. In any event, I know they love me no matter my size. I do this for me and my health anyhow. I'm happy with me. A compliment would be nice once in awhile though, but I've stopped looking for it and if I do get a compliment, it makes my day. Good for you and the hard work you are putting into this weight loss journey. Keep it going.:flowerforyou:0

Let me just throw out a bit of (calorie-free) food for thought.
I know someone who lost a bunch of weight. Someone I care about very much! She was quite obese and it was absolutely awesome to see the changes.
As she lost, things like this started to happen:
ME: Ugh. I gained five pounds over the holidays.
HER: I don't know how I did it, but I managed to LOSE five in December!!!
ME: I could really use some new jeans.
HER: (standing up to demonstrate): ME TOO! Look at how these are FALLING OFF!
ME: mmmmmmm... Cheeseburgers
HER: UGH! I have absolutely NO appetite for greasy foods!
It got pretty hard to be around her for a while. She thought I was being unsupportive.
I'm not saying this is the case with you, OP, because I don't know you and your friends. But maybe take a second to look inward?0 -
