Very insightful post! I was a yo-yo dieter for years until I found that slow and steady wins the race. Making permanent lifelong behavioral changes would bring success in the long run!

Have a wonderful weekend!

I really love this post! At first, I read the title in kind of a negative way… but as I started reading, I realized it was most definitely the opposite!

I can completely relate with what you’ve just said. I’m amazed by how effortless sticking with this healthy lifestyle change has become. And on the days when it isn’t effortless, which usually comes around once every couple weeks, I just let myself relax. I think it’s my body’s way of telling me to lighten up a little. And I do. And I’m happier for it.

I say you’re doing things right! And that scale will start to move. The way I see it, we aren’t just doing this for the scale to show a lower number… We’re doing it to be happier and healthier and be able to live life without feeling controlled by our food!

Ah! I wrote you a book! haha You’re doing great, girl!

You are right about people feeling like not knowing what to say… When I notice somebodyy has lost weight I don’t say “you look thinner” but things lnike “that shirt looks great on you”, something like that… In fact I wouldn’t like people saying I am thinner, but saying something flattering now and then… I am sure we are all looking amazing!

Some people don’t say anything because they don’t want to make you feel like you didnt look good before the weightloss. Its weird. When I had lost about 25 pounds I was like,why isn’t anyone saying anything? Am I really that big that no one can notice 25 pounds?! Slowly people started saying something and it made me feel awkward. I have now lost 50 pounds. Yesterday I was at a family funeral,and I was overwhelmed with all the comments of how good I look. Cause I don’t feel I look much different. It’s like you think you want the compliments,but it does turn out to be a little awkward at first. Even though I know it’s a good compliment.

Some people don’t like to mention anything because the world is filled with over sensitive people. If some one say “oh you’ve lost weight” that person can turn around and say “Oh so you think I’m fat?” something dumb along those lines so it’s better for people to be quiet then it is to speak out about it I guess. I wish more people would compliment me too on my losses, its completely motivational! Good job on your loss and being able to see yourself in a different manner! Two accomplishments I say you’ve accomplished!

Some people are super nervous mentioning weight loss. I remember losing my first 10% and wondering if it showed. My sister says it does but people don’t know whether or not to mention it.

Continue doing what you are doing since it’s obviously working. Eventually people won’t be able to shut up about it …. (truly)

No, I’m not doing or eating anything different… I think it is just my nerves. I have to work it out with a mild antihistaminic and with peace and quiet, I think. Thanks for your comment!

I get really itchy too, it’s rather irritating. Usually it has to do with my laundry soap I use. Are you using something different when you do laundry?
