Staying Positive in a Negative World

We get so many negative signals sometimes while we are losing the weight such as "your face looks too thin" or "what do you care what other people think." I am not losing weight to please other people but to improve my health and to please myself. I want to be able to get around and not have to depend on someone to take care of me. It feels good to be in a smaller size and sure improves your self image. When I see that someone is losing weight I always let that person know that I noticed the effort.
