    I think I am sort of expecting the compliments once my weight loss becomes more noticeable... and I'm sure I'll miss them. I don't think it's petty, or if it is, I am a bit too.

    we could have a comment swap :) I will tell you how slim you are looking and commiserate how tough it is.

    Although, I will admit, it also feels good to not be known as the chubby one in the group, too.

    It feels good to give a compliment and to receive one. You're doing great! By the way, nice pic!. :)

    You know I realized the same thing recently. The first time I lost all my weight (2012) I enjoyed the comments immensely, but the high was short lived because I majorly failed at maintenance. This time I lost it all, I'm smaller and fitter than ever. I do like receiving compliments but I also feel they are backwards like "wow your so small, you look great!" Is really the unspoken "damn you were big, you looked awful!" That they simply didn't want to say before. I know it isn't so but I feel differently this time depending on how it's worded. I'm determined never to go back so I'm trying to bask in the compliments while they are still coming.
