I remember when I first started losing weight it seemed like NO ONE noticed. Finally, 20 or so pounds in, someone in one of my classes noticed and I was so happy. It sucks working so hard and not having anyone notice!
I talked to my MOH about it at the time, and she pointed out that people that see you all the time don't really notice, because they see you everyday and you look the same as you did yesterday even if you don't look the same as three months ago. Makes sense.
She also said that even if she did notice, she would never say anything, because she doesn't think of her loved ones in terms of their appearance, like it would devalue them as a person for her to point something like that out.
Then over Thanksgiving, I saw one of my mom's friends I hadn't seen for a while, and she practically had to pick her jaw up off the floor fawning over me, saying things like "where'd the rest of you go?!" It was nice for someone to notice, but man I was uncomfortable since I've always been sensitive about my weight.
I was wondering what other people's experiences have been. Do people know you're dieting? Has anyone noticed/commented on your loss? How did you feel?
