I woke up this morning thinking : Yay, I’ve lost 20 pounds, I’m really doing this. Then I thought about how no one had even noticed that I’ve lost weight and I became completely discouraged. I know I’m doing this mostly for me, to be healthy, but a big part of it is for people to notice that you are slimming down. The compliments, the encouragement, is some of the greatest motivation one can receive. I’m visiting a friend who I haven’t seen in a long time and all I can think is “will she notice?” My own DH hasn’t really noticed and I think that is the biggest bummer of all.
