Soon2slim~ Hey! I've recently lost 25 lbs too! I'm currently 210 from 235, and I have a few people in my life who've noticed my weight loss but not mentioned it for different reasons... Some of these may apply to the people in your life too.
First of all there's my bf... he's a sweet heart; he's always been super suportive & happy with me no matter what my size was. Now that I'm loseing weight, he's really happy for me & proud of me... but he's not sure how to tell me! Whenever he compliments me or points out a feature of mine that's obviously slimmer (face, but, tummy, etc...) he confesses that he's been wanting to tell me that he's noticed for days but... he's afraid that if he says I look really good/slim/better, then I'll think that he thought I used to look bad/fat/ugly! Did that make sence?
So your husband may just not know how to go about telling you that you're looking better!
Then there's my sis! I'll make this as short as possible... (our relationship has become quite complex... I could go on for pages!) The thing is we've always been overweight together & we always talked about loseing weight together! Now I'm losing weight & she's still talking about it... do you see where this would cause problems? Anyways, she quite obviously notices the difference, but says nothing out of anger/jealously/her own self consciousness?
My mom's reaction is better, but reserved... You see, she didn't say anything to me about my weight loss for quite a while because my sis was always around & she could see those tensions building & didn't want to add to the problem! So just a little while ago she confessed to me that she's noticed my changes, but she hadn't had a chance to congradulate me with out hurting my sister.
I can't leave out my weird best friend Alicia who's always been a toothpick! Weight is the only thing that's not a disaster in her life! I love her... but Good Greif she gets herself into some messed up situations! (have any close friends like that?) Our lives are as different as water & fire! I've got pretty much everything in order & happily peaceful in my life (except for my weight of course) Alicia on the other hand has not had a peaceful, calm, or normal day since she was 14! Well, her weight has always been the one thing that she can top me on. Ya know what I mean... like, her love life is a wreck, but at least she can wear the cute, little clothes that I can only dream of wearing! (As sick as it is... I think that helps her sleep at night!) She's obviously noticed the change too, but she refuses to mention it or to congradulate me! It seems that she's afraid that I'll soon have everything in order & she won't have anything to hold over me!
Unfortunately the best of friends can sometimes be this petty!
Anyways, i've got to tell you CONGRADULATIONS!!!
It's great that you've been dropping those lbs & sooner or later people will definatly take notice & compliment you on your successes! And don't worry... if the reason that they haven't said anything is that they've got issues like the people in my life, they'll come around; good friends & family always do, it just may take some patience! But hey, you've just dropped 25 lbs; you MUST have patience!
talk to ya later, kalypso
