That's brilliant Eliana, go you!
We are going on vacation on Sunday and while away will be visiting some friends we haven't seen since last October. They have seen my pics on Facebook but never commented on them, so I'm anxious and excited to see if they comment when they see me next week.
I help out at my daughter's school so am also excited to go back in a couple of weeks and see the reactions there. I did have several before the school holidays but people are telling me I look like I've lost loads of weight this past month when in fact I've only lost 4lbs, so I guess each pound now makes a bigger difference than it did before.
And as for the "diet and exercise", even people at the gym I go to seem to be disappointed when I tell them I've lost the weight with healthy eating and lots of exercise. They definitely want me to tell them I took some magic pill I'm sure! lol

That does sound like so much fun. I think that you are small enough now that just a few pounds make a big difference. I have been getting many comments and I have only lost about 17 pounds this entire year! I think 5 pounds make a much bigger difference on me now than when I was bumping 300 pounds.

Congrats! That is awesome!! I know what you mean about not wanting to accept that you did it by diet and exercise lol most people think you are holding out that magic pill

Just think, they all had a little Eliana sitting in their heads somewhere, maybe one whom they created two years ago, or some other time well before you began losing weight -- and only now do they suddenly really see that you don't match up with their memory of Eliana.

The human mind is a strange & wonderful thing.
