Does this happen to anyone else??

Since I started CC, I've lost 15 lbs and before that I had already lost about 5 lbs so in total I'm down 20 lbs and no one has noticed!  I'm only 5'3, so I'd think losing 20 lbs would be obvious to people!  The only people who've actually noticed are my boyfriend (because he sees me naked! ha!) and my best friend (because we go shopping together and I've dropped 2 sizes!).


Why hasn't anyone else said anything=(


P.S. I know you're going to say "well we can't comment since you don't have any pictures up!" I don't have any current pictures but I will put some up soon...

I think it's a sensitive topic.

People may wonder if maybe the reason you've lost weight is because you're sick, and they're afraid to ask/comment...

... or they've commented on someone's weight loss in the past and received a negative response...

... like the time a friend commented that my jeans were fitting much better and I informed him that they were actually a new bigger pair than my previous jeans.  I really should've just said thanks and shut up, but didn't think before replying.  Oops.  The poor man has never made a comment about my appearance ever again.

And people who see you on a regular basis won't notice it as much.. the same way you don't notice your own child growing... until you look at photos or a growth chart... or have to go out and buy new clothes!  LOL.
