I don't know about this. I mean, I'm sure you're thrilled with your loss, and snaps to you for it! But I was raised that you NEVER comment on another person's body. EVER. Their bodies are their business, and NOT mine. I have a friend who has lost 91 pounds and is now tiny, but to me, it's utterly rude to comment on someone else's body. No matter what. So I never do. It's not that I don't notice, and not that I don't feel thrilled for their achievement, but it's also NONE of my business.

I understand what you mean, and I don't disagree with you. I'm not sure how to explain this.... but lets call it intuition - you can sometimes just tell when a person has noticed, and even if they say nothing, know if they are glad for you or not. I definitely am referring to the people who take notice of an accomplishment, and still treat that person as inferior/stupid, has a stuck up attitude, or minimizes the effort that it took. I know which people will treat me like this and I know which ones will comment, whether positive or negative. I know who will talk behind my back and who will minimize my efforts, or accuse me of fullout starvation; and I don't have room for people like that in my life - those are toxic people, and none of us needs people like that.

Thanks everybody for your encouragement! You guys definitely help keep me going!!!!
