Will anyone actually notice the difference?????

For the last few days I have been thinking about what it will be like once I have started losing a lot of the weight and looking different. Will anyone actually notice the difference in my appearance? What will they say? How will they react? Will I still feel the same about my body as I do now or will I still feel like the same fat person I am today? These are all really good questions. I feel it will take a lot of adjustments on my part as well as others around me. Come on I have been fat for so long I cannot believe that over night everyone is going to go WOW look at her!!!!! The change will be slow but over time I bet the way people treat me will be more positive as well as the way I see myself will change along the way to a positive one. I am a little afraid of what is to come but I cannot remember a time that I was not over weight and not happy with who I was and what all of that means so to be on the journey to a healthy lifestyle and try to make a difference in my life for myself is a challenge I know it is worth it in the long run and nothing else should matter. But we all want to be accepted and be noticed by others that is what life is about. Will I really care what anyone says? What I think really is the only opinion I should care about right??? I know I am the same person on the inside that I have always been and that I will be true to myself no matter what and that I can win this battle and make a difference for myself and I will be a role model to the one person who needs it.....me!
