Make a comment about my weight loss??? Im sooo happy with my accomplishment, but it would be so nice to hear it from other people...just ONE??? (my husband doesn't count :tongue: )
BUT NOTHING!!

I know 12 lbs isnt alot, but I have worked gosh darn hard to lose this weight and personally I am proud.

Funny how that one little compliment can give you a big boost!! Hopefully one day I will get one.:grumble:

    First of all, congrats on your success :flowerforyou:

    And second, I wanted to tell you that there are only two compliments I've ever received that really stuck with me, and neither one was about my weight.

    The first was at a Christmas party, and I was talking with a couple of women that I worked with. One looks at me, and then looks at the other woman and says, pointing at me, "You know why I love this one? Because she's so ALIVE!" True, the woman was just a little drunk, but I knew that she meant it.

    The second was only a couple of weeks ago. I had just finished my second spin class ever, and went to ask the instructor about a problem I was having with cramping feet during class. We talked a while, and he said, "Do you spin often?" To which I replied, "No, this is only my second class", and he said, "well you're very good at it, you're obviously athletic."

    The only comments I've gotten about my weight loss (about 10 pounds so far) have been from my husband and a couple that I hadn't seen in a few months. But that doesn't make me feel bad... when I need a little boost, I remember those two compliments that I keep stored in my head and it gets me going. That, and when my doctor looked at me and said, "Well, you're not THAT overweight" :laugh:

    So maybe try and think about things people have said to you that are about more than your appearance... those are the things that really matter anyway, right?

    Congrats on losing 12 pounds! I had lost 11 but put 6 back on when I quit smoking a month ago. I've been working real hard and now 2 of those 6 I gained back are gone again. Just gotta kill off the other 4 and keep going :wink:

    And I feel the same way sometimes. Not only about weight, but not smoking too. I've gotten a couple praises/compliments but it gets really hard to remember them in the middle of a nicotine fit. lol

    Anywho ~ Keep up the awesome work!!

    Good luck in your journey!!:flowerforyou:

    Sorry to hear that.:ohwell: It really does help. Hopefully with summer (and thus less clothing) settling in, you'll start getting more comments and compliments!

    NICE work on the 12 lbs!!

    people rarely feel comfortable making comments about weight. From what I hear, people don't comment unless they are 1) REALLY close to you (think hubby or mom- who by the way are the only people that comment on my losses :grumble: ) or 2) You've lost MAJOR weight. Like as in a Biggest Loser winner. People are so silly sometimes.

    You;re looking great, don't let their silence get you down!
