The magic number

Ok, so when I first came here I complained because no one noticed that I had lost weight. I lost, 10, 20, 30, 35 nothing, not one person. All of the sudden when I had lost 39.6 lbs everyone began to notice. I got two comments before I lost 40lbs and am getting constant comments now that I have lost the 40lbs. Yesterday I saw someone who I haven't seen in a few months and she was just raving about me. It was such a boost. The weird thing for me is that, I have my before pic, my 20lb loss pic, and my 40lb loss pic, and I see a huge difference in the first two, but not much in the second two. Oh well at least people are noticing now so I actually feel that sense of accomplishment. I know I shouldn't need other people to notice, but it is nice.

I have had this happen so many times. When you need to hear it the most no one says a word and when you think nothing is really different suddenly it's all you hear. (BTW, I think your loss is INCCREDIBLE! Congrats on that!) I think the whole process is so individual and isolating it's reassuring to have recognition. Keep up the fantastic work! Annie
