Getting Noticed

[JanBow]

Isn't it lovely when people start to notice your loss. I'm just about at 1.5 stone & I can see the difference & am really feeling it in my clothes but no-one has said anything (apart from hubby but I know he's usually just being nice) but last night I was out at rehearsals for a play I'm in & one of the ladies commented that I was losing weight, which was really nice & gave me a boost. Then today I saw a friend I haven't since since I started s&s a month ago & she said "wow you've lost loads of weight" which felt really good. I'm not even halfway there yet so it's just going to get better & better as I get smaller & smaller

Words of encouragement from people a bit more distant somehow make you start to believe it, as opposed to the"does my bum look big in this" damned whatever other half says
my receptionist is the only person to say something she mentioned my face looked slimmer and my trousers are looking baggy round the bum oh how I wanted her to say omg your belly has just melted LOL I live in hope of this dream conversation, stay strong and keep sucking up those compliments with pride

I think it is great that people notice and compliment.

Sometimes I struggle with the attention I get when I lose weight and will sabatoge myself and put it back on so I intend to change that pattern this time. I will take very compliment and smile and be thankful for it.

I've lost 3 stone in the last 9 weeks... I can tell now and people are starting to comment, at work today a client I've not seen for a while noticed I sometimes wonder if people are too polite to say anything...

Wow! That's a great loss, yes I do think people don't always like to say, I think they're worried they may be wrong and then be insulting you by saying you looked fat before. Some people of course don't say anything cos they're jealous

I have done exactly the same! When I lost weight before especially the last stone, some people at work openly stared at me, especially my legs. I suppose it's because I don't wear weight well and I look very different at different weights. The attention is sometimes nice, sometimes a bit intense. Not going to let it stop e getting to goal though

Only 2 people have commented that i've lost weight; the first one was at the beginning of the month when went back to work after 6 weeks off. I'd lost 17lbs then but only one colleague said anything. The second was yesterday a friend whom i see nearly every weekend finally comment that he could see that i'd lost some weight that was after losing nearly 25lbs.
It nice when people notice, I thought i looked a bit slimmer but then when nobody seemed to notice i thought maybe it was just me wishful thinking; but now a couple of comments later and it re-assures me that I'm getting smaller and when walk past mirror at home I think yah I'm on my way.
