about the lack of comments on your weight loss

a lot of people (myself included!) can't help but feel a little sad when no one in their lives brings up the weight they've lost. i think it's natural to want recognition and attention, but please try not to let it get you down! my own father didn't want to say anything even after i lost 80 pounds, and it wasn't until i brought it up myself that he was able to act SO excited, offer help, and cheer me on. he loves me. he noticed. he just wasn't sure if i wanted that commentary. i think a lot of people are scared to make comments on such personal things. it's honestly a good thing imo to not assume you can bring up a personal topic. of course there may be people who are jealous or critical as well, but the important people in you life will probably thrilled to discuss it and cheer you on! if you're looking for validation, i really do suggest bringing it up yourself first as permission for others to follow! i just casually said at dinner "so i've lost 80 pounds!" and they were ecstatic haha ❤️
