I'm one to talk - I'm just as bad.....mornings always, night time (the night before WI) and that's all.....harmless.........isn't it? Seriously tho' - once you see losses in the first week, you'll get right back into it.
I received a lovely compliment today - a woman I work with told me that I looked amazing and that I'd lost loads of weight, then quickly added "not that you needed to or anything" and was embarrassed so I quickly piped in "yes I did - I've lost nearly 3 stone - so I absolutely did need to, and have more to lose"......she said that I looked younger and even taller.....aw, told her she made my day.
Also today I stopped myself congratulating a woman I work with (who I don't see very often) who looked about 6 months pregnant - why? Well......what if she wasn't? I'd hate to embarrass her
(and me
)....so I didn't say anything. Felt just as bad about that, cos she must have thought, 'why didn't she congratulate me - is she blind?'
Anyway, these two things got me thinking about something Angela1 said yesterday (that no-one has noticed her weight loss yet)......
The thing is, a lot of people probably
have noticed our weight losses but are too embarrassed to say anything.
The woman complimenting me was embarrassed that because she said how well I looked, she was afraid that it implied that she thought I was fat before ........and I was afraid to congratulate the pregnant woman, just in case I was wrong and didn't want to make her feel bad.
I'm rambling a bit but the point is, people do notice us - we just don't always realise it. x
