Something that keeps me focused and motivated in my diet are random bits of affirmation I get from people around me. Although, yes, I do know I am doing this whole diet thing for myself and not for the approval of others, having people acknowledge it is very much like an affirming pat on the back for me. Today I got two of them And since I was having a relatively not-so-good day (I don’t really want to call it bad because there was some good in it after all), I will hold on to that. I ran into an old student of mine and he (yes he ) haha commented that I did lose weight fast. He was like, “but last term you weren’t this slim yet!” WEEEE!!! Oh, and my aunt said something quite similar when I got home.

Yeeeessssss….random bits of affirmation. Thank you very much. Teeeheeeheee.
