Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

Yesterday was the first day that someone told me they noticed I've lost weight. I know it can be a hard thing to bring up weight issues with peers. I get it. You don't want to offend anyone. But still. I'm down 35lbs and I'm just now getting comments. Or comment.

When I look in the mirror, I do not see that my body has changed. Sure, some clothes fit better. But some don't. It's kind of confusing. I mean, given that much weight, shouldn't I SEE it more!? Shouldn't I notice more in how my clothes fit!? I haven't felt like the weight I've lost has been "real" and this doesn't help that theory.

Granted, if I look at a picture of myself I can see a difference. Not sure how much of a difference I see but I do see something.

Realizing that the way I'm eating how is going to have to be how I eat forever kind of sucks. Maybe I don't have to be AS strict, but the number of calories I'll be able to eat is a lot less than I would think one would have per meal. A "cheat meal" shouldn't be a grilled chicken sandwich.

But alas... It is what it is.

I think that you look amazing!! And clothes are so weird. I know it's easy to get discouraged, but you are truly doing an awesome job!! <3
