A cool thing happened to me today at work. A co-worker out of the blue asked me, a bit hesitantly (I think she might have been afraid of offending me...she's Iranian and sometimes her English is a little broken): "Are you...doing a diet?"

I blinked in surprise...this really caught me off guard. "Why do you ask?"

She smiles and says, pausing to think of the right word, "You look...thinner."

To say I was blown away is really putting it mildly. I don't see a change in myself yet (I've been bad and haven't been tape-measuring myself), but it is VERY nice to know that change is happening and that it is noticeable to others.

What a GREAT encouragement this is! My co-worker really made my day and bolstered my resolve even further to keep up the fight.
