While I was at work today a lady came in that I have been talking to. She stated hey skinny how are you doing!! I was like doing ok still trying to lose the weight and she said that since the last time she saw me that I have really lost the weight in my face as well as other places and I was like I cannot tell it. But everyone else can like most of you I still see the bigt fat person.
This made me feel so good and I had to tell my boss about it I was beamming from ear to ear. It made my day.

Congrats Pat! It's moments like that we need to cling too and help motivate us to keep going!

You should really be proud of yourself, and feel good about what she said. My personal experience is that we are the last to really appreciate the differences in us -- so relish the compliments and use them to spur you on! Congrats! :)

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

Thank you vagirl00 you are right we are the last to see it and now that it has happened to me I do see it some. This is enought to make me want to lose more and to get where I want to be.
