Talking Compliments Anyone?

So it's been very frustrating to lose this weight and have no one notice! Not a single person! I have lost almost 22 lbs. and I know I am heavy (have another 50 to go), but you'd think someone would say something?

Went to a birthday party last week and a bridal shower and yes there were people there that I had not seen in a while...but not a whisper or question or look!

So what this means is: I gained MORE WEIGHT since the last time I had seen them (probably true) and by losing the weight to them I look my normal, albeit, chubby self!

The good news is I NO LONGER CARE! I know I am getting smaller. Got a roll of film back the other day...pics from our anniversary in January. There I am all dolled up and my face and body are huge....I look bloated with triple chins (think Ursula in The Littel Mermaid ). DH and I look at each other....nope he says, you don't look like that anymore...your face is way slimmer (oh yes I did go on Atkins to lose weight on my face...didn't you know? ha ha).

Went shopping today for dress for that upcoming wedding...and I actually fit into a 16 woman's petite...I asked for a bigger size before trying it on....next size was a 22. I also brought that into the changeroom...but lo and behold, the 16 actually fit!!!! And will of course fit even better in a few weeks! Of course I bought it .....on sale and an additional 40% off, how could I resist. Need to model it for DH and decide if I shall keep it!

I will get a pic of me in the new dress and try to scan both pics in!
