Lost ten, feel like I want it back...

Posted on August 8, 2014

Since i've started losing weight, I've lost about 10 lbs. Why would I want it back you ask? Well, it is a little disheartening that not a single person I know and/or see has noticed the change. People I see daily, yeah they probably wouldn't notice. However I have recently seen some friends and family that I haven't see in a while and not a single person has said anything at all. Kind of a motivation killer. If they haven't noticed, that either means I was and still am so fat that nobody can see small changes, or it means that I didn't really need to lose the weight in the first place and I've been hungry for a month for no reason.

I am being facicious, and I realize that I do feel much better about how I look and that is really all that matters. It still is a bummer that rest of the world still sees me as I was 10 pounds ago :(

I know exactly how you feel. I've gotten the same thing. Sometimes I tell my coworkers about Dietbet and they seem curious at first but then almost scared. We are here to improve our health and our outlook about ourselves, that's what matters, not what anyone else thinks. I love our dog pic!!! IT made me laugh!

Everything I've read in the literature says that the loss of 10 pounds is great for improving one's health -- blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, etc. So, even if the world doesn't see the changes in your body, know that on the inside you are changing for the better, for a healthier body and a better life.

Your post reminds me of a quote I saw...
"It takes 4 weeks to notice your body changing, 8 weeks for your friends, and 12 weeks for the rest of the world. Give it 12 weeks, don't quit"

Also, pick up a 10lb bag of potatoes or cat litter or dog food and feel how heavy it is. Then realize THAT is how much extra you were lugging around all that time! You don't want to pick that up again and start carrying it around. When I lost 10 lb I found I was jogging a lot easier and felt great. Keep up the good work and I promise eventually people will notice.

It's rough I know. Ive lost more then my coworker (who is already smaller) and people in the office keep asking her and telling her she looks like she lost weight! And I'm sitting there like what?! It's jealousy for me but I remind myself that I'm doing this for me and no one else! I'm sure you look awesome. Try not to let it get to you. Push on, you're doing great.
