    Nice comments

    I know we have talked about this before. I don't get many comments on my weight loss. We were at a Halloween party today and I saw a friend that I haven't seen in a while. He came right over to me and said "You look FANTASTIC!!" He went on and on and said "Congratulations!". He was so excited for me, it was honestly the best reaction I have had yet.


    The funny thing is, I look in the mirror and usually don't see it. With certain clothes, I think I look better. I pick up a pair of jeans and think "these will never fit" and yet they slip right on. I am working on realizing (and accepting) how I look. I am happy and determined to keep going...I am not done yet!

    I struggled with that a LOT the first time I lost about 60lbs on Atkins. I was about 135 lbs, but in my head when I would picture myself, it was always the original 190+ lbs me. It took a long time to get re-adjusted to what I actually looked like. A really long time.

          Its nice that he noticed and said so, but it is even nicer to hear your own positive words about your weight loss.

           It's not about the results. Its about the process.

            How wonderful it must be to get sincere positive comments! You SO deserve them; it looks to me like you've lost 40 lbs!!!! this is truly terrific and if you don't see the changes, maybe you need to seek them out. the skinny jeans are a great example > keep your focus on how great u look in your skinny clothes. It's fabulous that you are happy and determined to keep going - this is so crucial imho! Good luck, put on your 'skinny glasses' and get used to seeing yourself as a slim, trim lady.

                I gave myself negative self-talk for so very long it's difficult to stop the habit and form new, healthy ones... but this I must do for this WOL to work. Look in the mirror and give yourself a wolf whistle honey. Try saying, "Hey these might fit." rather than that they won't. Try it... you have nothing to lose.
