When Other People Notice

"Have you lost weight?"

I'm sure this a question we all love to here, especially when we have been trying to lose weight. I got to hear it this morning from my neighbor. It was an instant mood and ego booster. While I had already noticed a slight decrease in my gut, my clothes still don't fit any better and I have been in a pretty poop mood about it (as you know from a couple of posts ago). But having that validation that I AM starting to look different is great. Having other people notice your hard work is an awesome feeling. It makes me want to work harder and show people what I am capable of.

I know I am capable of reaching my goal weight. I know I am capable of feeling absolutely incredible and safe in my skin. I know I am capable of becoming healthier and more fit. Do I need other people's validation to know all of this? Absolutely not. I already know all of this. But like I said before, validation from other people is always a great addition.
