So, I havent lost much weight since ive started on MFP, but I have lost a pant size (24 to 22), and a shirt size (3x to 2x). SO, on mothers day my mom bought me two pairs of uber cute shoes, and 3 shirts, and a pair of shorts. I also treated myself yesterday to a new haircut. Now today at work my bosses that NEVER notice me... definitely took notice, and told me how pretty I was, and (they are men), NOTICED MY HAIR?!?! lol...
And everyone else around the building has paid me nothing but compliments since yesterday.
It guess those SMALL things really boosted my confidence.

This is awesome, congrats on your success so far! I believe it's very important to feel pretty. It does wonders for a girls self esteem. Even men need to feel like they look good! I have this fantasy of pretty shoes and a pretty yellow sun dress when I've gotten down to my gw.
Enjoy your new clothes! I hope you have to donate them soon and replace them haha!0 -
That's fantastic, well done! It is such a boost when people start noticing eh?0

What a great way to stay in the game. You get energized by others comments and support and then before you know it you start seeing the numbers change and your on your way. Often times your body changes before the scale does. Way to go! How Exciting!0

Hazzah for you! I know that when your attitude changes you see more changes. At least that's the way it goes for me.
Keep it up. You are doing great and many times it's the NSVs that keep you going.0 -
Sometimes NSV's can be more satisfying then a SV. When you get compliments its just the greatest feeling b/c it sort of reassures you that all your hard efforts are paying off. Also, I noticed, when I was at my highest weight I was not dressing very well. I was extremely embaressed of how I looked and stopped trying. I thought, oh well I'm already fat & gross, why even try anymore? That's a terrible mentality, I should have NEVER thought that way. Because the second you get down on yourself is when others will see right through you. If you are confident and glowing no matter what your size, people will see that you have an awesome attitude and will start noticing you "physically" as well. Best of luck to you. Great job on your progress so far.0
