People notice I'm losing weight

I went in for my monthly massage yesterday. One of the massage therapists asked mine if I'd been sick since I'd obviously lost so much weight. Well, that was strange, but I'm glad it's noticeable. Just under two pounds a week average since October 2008. That's not too much.

I've begun watching "What Not to Wear". The transformation of a recent guest had Stacy London stunned into silence. Today I was grocery shopping at Wegmans. Started walking down an aisle and noticed a woman standing at the end with her jaw dropped and unable to speak for about a minute. It was someone I hadn't seen since last summer BWL (before weight loss). I loved the reaction!

We need reminders that we've done well. I know, because sometimes I look in the mirror and only see the leftover rounded tummy and the slight saddlebags. Like any other area of my life, I sometimes focus on what needs to be done and forget to embrace and relish my accomplishments. Don't you just love those words - EMBRACE! RELISH!
