[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been all over the place with my weight but most of us want others to notice and recognize when we’ve put in hard work to improve ourselves. It’s very affirming and validating. If I know the person well, and I know they’ve been putting in that work, I will positively comment on how their efforts are paying off and how great and healthy they look. If I don’t know the person well I keep my mouth shut. Not all weight loss is good, even if the person was fat before. Most people I know would rather be fat and healthy rather than skinny due to cancer. [/quote] I think if you want validation for weight loss then the appropriate thing is to share with people that it's intentional and bring it up yourself. That lets them know it's something you are comfortable discussing. All this means is you have friends and family that see you as a whole person, not just your appearance, which is lovely. [/quote]
