Just wanted to share a small victory:

Yesterday at work, TWO different co-workers asked me if I work out or if I'd lost weight -- "You look great!"

That's the first time anyone besides my roommate and boyfriend (who know I'm trying to slim down) have said anything, and I was *ecstatic*!

    Awesome! It's so funny, you strive for that...and then when the moment gets there, you just blush and say "well, I'm trying".
