saw a friend for the first time today since Christmas time. I am down about 50 # since then. He was stunned by the changes, and that was a very nice reaction. Encourages me to keep on with all the hard work.
That's always a nice feeling. I saw someone yesterday who I haven't seen since New Year's, when I was about 60 pounds heavier. Feels kind of great, doesn't it?
yes it is! especially when most of my friends see me on a daily or weekly basis. they are happy to see my health improve, and my best friend is eagerly anticipating us wearing the same size clothes, but it is great for that "big" effect of someone who hasn't seen you in a while.
