today i went to visit my friend and her mom. i haven't seen them in a couple of months (since before I started my diet). I walked into the house, and they looked at me, and both of them went "YOU'VE LOST A LOT OF WEIGHT!" their eyes were big, and they had these looks on their faces... and let me tell you... it was the best feeling in the world. her mom started telling me I've got an hourglass figure forming (something I've never had before) and it was just... the best day ever. My friend goes "you look like you've lost 20 pounds!" and.. I have ^_^ they were the first people to say anything, and I'm so thankful they did. It's just so encouraging... seeing the numbers drop on the scale makes you feel good, but when someone else looks at you and actually NOTICES you've lost a significant amount of weight.. gosh. it's enough to keep you motivated
i was driving home from my class tonight, and drove by soo many places that I love.. wendy's, church's, arby's, gosh, you name it, that town had it. I wanted to stop somewhere so badly, but remembering what they said just made me feel too good to turn back on my diet and eat that junk
i hope all of you have or will have someone notice all your hard work. it is an AMAZING feeing
