48 Pounds Lost And I Am The Only One Who Notices?

[diochick 40]

I feel ya! I was sleeved march 12, current weight 198, starting weight 281. Almost 100 lbs dropped. Only people to say anything about it? My husband and mother in law- the only 2 who know about me having this done. It's so frustrating, and messes with my mind. I feel like maybe I'm not looking as svelte as I think I do, but then I slide on my size 18's (down from a 24) and think- the difference is so amazing, how could anyone not notice?

It's so hard to not let people mess with your head, but that's just another way our addiction try's to trick us to stop doing what we're doing! Think of it this way, we want to look and more importantly, FEEL normal. "Normal" people don't go around complimenting one another on a regular basis; ie.; "Hey there! You look terrific! You haven't gained ir lost any weight! Good for you!" lol I thought about this and now I try to compliment people every day, "That color looks great on you!" Believe me, people in general are not used to, or get uncomfortable, when receiving a compliment. Now, I'm the giver so I don't worry about being the getter! 
