I've been on my weight loss journey since last June and have lost 65lbs (SW 220, CW 155, I'm 30F, 5'4), through CICO and exercise. I go for walks in my local park almost every day, in the beginning it was a very light walk, now I do a mix of walking really quickly and proper running.
Today in the middle of my jog I see a lady waving to get my attention (I appreciated the covid-safety, we also each took a step back when we started talking!) and at first I figured she needed the time or directions.
What she actually wanted was to say she's seen me in the park since last summer, and just wanted to congratulate me on my efforts! She said she noticed how I'm doing so much better with the running and how much weight I've lost. I was so shocked I only just managed to thank her profusely, it was just the nicest, kindest thing.
I'm mostly sharing because in the beginning, I felt awful going to the park to exercise. I saw people running and felt like they were judging me, when actually there was someone rooting for me all along! And while I still look in the mirror and don't see a lot of difference, it's amazing that a complete stranger did! So often we stop ourselves from even starting because of what others might think, but there are such kind people in the world.
