Watchout,
As someone who has struggled with their weight for my entire life, I have times where I'm thrilled about my losses, and I want to shout it to the world (when I'm thinking about the future and how much progress I've made). There are other times when I am shamed and embarrassed about telling the truth when it comes to how much I've lost total (when I'm feeling negative or looking into the past in that "I can't believe that I was THAT big" kind of way.
In any event, what is right for me may not be right for you. I'm embracing my losses now and I have been telling people. It makes me feel good at the step that I'm in my journey to say "I'm doing great, I've lost *341.2*lbs" I should be proud of that...
