One thing you may need to be aware of is something I refer to as the "praise addiction".
People can when undergoing body composition change, eventually get people who like them, commenting in a positive way, which in itself can be very reinforcing and motivational.
However, should this start to happen with a fair amount of frequency, the person could, (I believe), start to become emotionally addicted to it, but eventually it will happen less, I think either because some individuals won't see the need to comment much, incase they look like they're sucking up to someone, or because they perceive it may start to get embarassing to someone; "yes, I'm changing bodies image, but suddenly being treated like a minor celebrity, is making me feel a bit awkward and uncomfortable", so if some people think, they could start to look like their affecting the individual in that way as well, they may lay off the comments.
This could then have an emotional crash effect, as if the individual perceives people to no longer care, or bother about them, or perhaps because they think people said things out of a sense of duty or loyalty, not because it was spontaneous and because all the nice comments stop happening, this might potentially derail someones attitude to composition change.
I'm not saying this might happen to you, but it might be something to be aware of, because people are noticing now and expressing their acknowledgement, but if they stop doing it, it doesn't mean they think more of you when they say certain things, but less of you when they stop.
Personally I think it's great that people are noticing what you are doing. Me personally, if I was someone attempting to undergo some sort of change, I wouldn't be overly bothered how many or few people recognised it, because I wouldn't be doing it for any or all of them primarily, but for me and perceived need to make it happen, for own benefit and good.
The comments you're getting, are indicative of what you are now doing to make change for yourself and I like the way you have recently been expressing certain changes in attitude, to your approach to things and how you feel about yourself, because you're not someone with a slew of weight to lose, but whatever a person is trying to achieve, they ultimately want to feel like it will work and they can do it and you're certainly doing it even better than before and I'm really, really happy for you Karrie, because I know whatever you want to get from this process, it still matters a lot, just like someone elses goal(s) and it isn't any less important than someone elses goal(s) either.
I'm not entirely sure I'd call Wonder woman badass, as her costume was a bit cheesy. I mean if she had looked like Cherie Currie out of the American band the Runaways, that featured Joan Jett, I could get the whole badass thing
, but whatever you use to find motivation / inspiration, is all that really matters here and I think you'll one day soon, become a superwoman and have the inspiring, healthy body, you are working hard to create.
I'm proud of you misses and happy to see someone with such a brilliant personality, kicking it real good and feeling great about themselves, so chin up, be strong and keep on pushing, because it IS worth it, you're worth it and you're doing GREAT!!
