NSV (people have noticed), but perplexed.

Lately, so many people have been commenting on my weight loss. I've lost the majority of it within the last year and especially the last few months. I got married in March 2019, and look considerable less heavier from then. I'm a couple pounds away from hitting 100lbs lost--it wasn't a milestone I had intentionally sought, but it's a pretty cool thing to be so close to.

Last night, my husband's (now, ours lol) friend was over--he comes around at least once a week-and he complimented my achievement. He did also comment that this much loss is enough, and he notices a drastic difference from last March. He recommended not to loose anymore and said my neck has gotten very skinny. His comments came from a friendly place, and did not seem out of line because we're a casual bunch.

Others have also commented on my loss--not just him.

When I look at myself, I still think I have at least another 20-30 pounds to lose. But, how do I know when enough is enough? Clothes look different, and even I can't deny the difference. But loved ones around me have told me that the loss is enough. I, however, feel it isn't yet. It's weird having been overweight for as long as I can remember - to people now telling me I look "normal" now.

I personally really want to get to at least 155, and then eventually even lower. I still have fat thighs and am no where near a flat-ish stomach. I genuinely think that I can afford to go around 135/140. How will I know enough is enough and to go into maintenance? I'm finding it to be a slippery slope, because I still want to lose more, but a few people have commented that I look "average sized now" (these were nice comments; they weren't being mean.) Do others think I have lost enough because they were used to seeing a heavier me? Am I treading into a dangerous mindset territory thinking I still have more to lose? Objectively, I definitely still have rolls and fat on me...

I'm asking becuase I want to maintain a healthy mindset towards the rest of my journey...and want to stay clear of ED territory.
