I started trying to exercise more and improve my diet a few months ago, and since early April I've lost about 22 lbs. I live in Canada and they've declared it safe to gather in small groups, so some out of town friends and I got together this weekend for the first time since before the quarantine started. The first thing my one friend said when I walked in the door was "Holy crap, where's the rest of you?" Some other friends showed up later and commented on how good I looked since they saw me last.
I still want to lose another 20 lbs. or so, but with no one but myself for company the last few months it was hard to gauge how my weight loss was actually looking. Having people who hadn't been there for the slow transition, but just to see the results, I got some good outside perspective.
I guess all this is to say that I found these interactions encouraging and they make me want to keep going to lose the rest of my excess weight. Sometimes when you see yourself every day and only see the weight loss really gradually it can be hard to see the progress. Other people can be more likely to notice a difference, and their perspective can help you see how far you've come.
Hope everyone else is here is having positive experiences too. Losing weight is hard work, so much respect to all of you for the progress you're making.
