Anyone else kind of sad at having no big thanksgiving weight loss reveal?

I’m so sorry if this is insensitive, obviously keeping everyone safe and healthy is of the utmost priority, which is why I (like hopefully many others) will not be seeing anyone outside of our household for the holidays this year. I know this is very selfish but I can’t help but feel a bit disappointed that no one will see the hard work I’ve put in.

Started losing weight (thanks to this sub) end of February, going from ~175 - 129 at 5’2. I think I look better than I did before, but it’s still very hard for me to see the change and I think I look mostly the same as I did 45 lbs ago. After having a zoom call with friends I haven’t seen in a year, one of them messaged me saying I looked the same as I did a year ago. :( I know she meant nothing bad by it, but some external validation wouldn’t hurt.

My family is very weight conscious and spares no words in telling you how they feel. Thankfully, I held my weight very well before, so I never got any negative comments, but I know that they would give me their honest thoughts if they saw me now. Also, my partner is from Hawaii, so for Christmas/New Years we go there for two weeks each year. Clearly this isn’t happening this year, and while I’m mostly sad we won’t be able to see her friends and family, I also was kind of looking forward to feeling more comfortable in less clothes šŸ˜…

Okay, pity party over!! But I’m curious if anyone else if having these slightly shameful thoughts with the coming holiday season.
