Ch-ch-ch-changes

Now that I’m halfway through my weightloss at 10kgs down, a lot of things are changing.
First of all, and most importantly, I feel better. Most of the time I have noticably more energy, and my skin is clearer and my eyes just seem a bit brighter. I’m embarrassed to admit it, but I spend a lot of time admiring myself in the mirror these days
Other people are noticing too. Colleagues, friends and family are generally telling me how noticable my weightloss is, how my clothes look looser, how my face looks slimmer. I’d say I get asked about how much I’ve lost at least 3 days out of 5. I get compliments too - how great I’m looking, how healthy I look, stuff like that. I love, love, LOVE it, but it can be a little uncomfortable too. I don’t like it when people go overboard to the point where it’s insincere, or when they seem really amazed like I’ve done something out of the ordinary. But on the whole, I’d rather have overboard insincere compliments than none at all
I think there’s a bit of danger that I’ll become complacent now. I have to keep reminding myself that I’m only ‘thinner’ and not ‘thin’ yet, this is no time to stop! All those compliments are really only in relation to how big I was before, and they’d stop quickly enough if I went back there!
I’m doing a lot more things now too - I go to swim squad, and I’ve joined a beginners ballroom dancing class, which is a lot of fun and I really enjoy it. I’m more confident when meeting new people now too, which helps.
I haven’t noticed a lot of difference in the way people treat me in general, I’m not sure that I ever will since I was never really obese or anything like that, not enough to be discriminated against anyway. Any differences are probably only due to my own confidence.
In general, I smile a lot more, and I walk with my head up and more of a spring in my step than before. I feel a lot happier and less like moaning about my job and life in general.
That can only be a good thing for me and every one around me.
