I can totally relate to this!! I was front desk for a chiro and was doing a 9 day cleanse, well I told a few patients (hoping I could sell some) and literally everyday they asked me if I had lost more weight! In my head I was like ITS ONLY BEEN 2 DAYS SINCE YOU ASKED ME!!! but then so I didn't feel like a failiure I'd lie and say I lost a pound.
Lucky for me I have friends who'll tell me I look like I've lost weight even when I haven't, sounds silly but I appreciate it.
(those are the friends I'll tell!)
