Keep Going
 

:)
I lost 30 lbs but very few people have commented, I know I just need to keep going and it's no one's fault but my own how big I got. It's not their fault if they can't notice.....it's just been so hard to change my ways and get started - I know I just have to keep going. Did anyone else feel bad if people didn't notice? I guess when you get to be that kind of weight you have to lose a real lot before your friends and family can really notice.

People are usually too self-absorbed to be that observant of others. Don't worry, people will start to notice soon!

~CGH~ :coffee2:

In some cases, people do notice but they are hesitant to say anything since they don't know if you are losing on purpose, or if you are ill, or what. I wouldn't worry about it. I'd lost over 50 lbs before people who weren't family or friends started commenting on it . . .

In my experience, sometimes people notice but it takes them some time to comment. They may hang back until it is obvious that you are making a change and not just a fluctuation. Or, they could just be self absorbed and not pay attention, like choirgirl said! :)

People will start to comment, don't you worry. As you make more progress you will start to carry yourself a little differently too, I imagine, and people will see that as well.

Good luck and hang in there! I'm sure you look great!

Have you had to move down to a different size yet?

I didn't buy new clothes for a long time with my weight loss and I finally had to when they started falling off. Once I had clothes on that fit right, the comments started coming. And coming. And coming.

There are pros and cons to people noticing, trust me.

Congrats on 30 pounds!!! That's awesome! :carrot:

wow! 30 pounds is fantastic....:carrot::carrot: you should be sooooooo proud!

anyhow, people will notice it when you least expect it, I remember my sis in law had lost loads of weight and we went out one night, I remember thinking she looked well but didn't comment, she has really dressed up and taken time with here hair and makeup....

BUT then next day all hungover and tired (:dizzy:)in her PJs I suddenly realized she dropped LOADS of weight so I bet some day soon someone will take a second glance!!!!

With me it was different when people started to notice. I didn't see alot of people for about 4-6 months and then I reappeared. Then it was comment after comment after comment. I am not saying I "hid" from anyone however, when my habbits changed I didn't go to the same places (bars mostly) that I used to. And I am sure people do notice, they just don't say anything because of whatever reason. When I notice someone has lost weight it's usually after they have already left and I get to thinking about it.
