When you are a big person, it takes a lot of weight loss to even be noticed by others. Most people didn't see any real change during the first 30 pounds I lost, though I certainly could tell.
Now, however, I drop "just" (by comparison) six pounds, and it is being noticed! That made me feel good.
Health remains my number one reason for losing weight, but it is still nice to get the occasional compliment.
I won this award from Allan, for my efforts in the last challenge. I'll display it proudly under the appropriate tab. Allan calculated that I lost 2.6% of me, over the last two weeks.

I know what you mean...health is my number one reason, but the compliments do feel good!!! Congrats on the award.
ReplyDeleteThat award is funny. I came, I saw, I peed!! I have to pee everywhere I go! lol
ReplyDeleteI am with you on my motivation too. Yes, I want to look better but I want to be around for my kids more... I miss my mom like crazy and don't want to have my kids live their lives with me.
Congrats on having people notice your weight loss. Always so nice. I don't think anyone said anything to me until I'd lost over 60 - and then after I lost 100 - then more noticed. I think it's because even as I was losing weight, I wore baggy clothes so it wasn't as noticeable. It's always good to have our own reasons and not wait for others to notice! :)
Have a fabulous day Ann!!
