An idle question, really, but I was just wondering at what stage you found people at the 'work-colleague' level of intimacy spotted that you'd lost weight without you talking loudly about it?!
Or even the DH??
Personally, I am not making a song and dance about my new diet, though I know the psychology of doing so is helpful to many other dieters. DH obviously knows, though the downside of not talking it up is him casually offering me a pot of creme brulee for dessert, for instance! Though I guess it does help me recognise that the family's life goes on and I have to adapt by saying 'no' where appropriate!
I am at the very start of a diet, I have 2 1/2 stone to lose. I know everyone would notice when I lost 1/5 of my body-weight but I wonder if anyone would even notice half a stone? ie 13 stone down to 12.5?
