I've got a client who was 100 pounds overweight three weeks ago. She is now 90-91 pounds overweight (depending on what time of the day she measures herself. (I've yet to convince her to only measure herself once a week, every Sunday for choice.)
So she's lost 10 pounds, but she looks at her body and sees no difference, and she's in despair about it.
I told her that even though she can't see the difference - there is a difference. If she had a pair of slacks a size smaller than what she normally wears - she could get into them now. (I didn't want to suggest that she go out and buy such a pair, as in another month or so they'll be too big for her too!)
I also told her that in another month, when she was only 80 pounds overweight, instead of 90, she would be able to see the difference.
If you buy boxes of butter from Sam's Club, you can see how much volume a pound takes up - a couple of sticks of butter - and you can see how much 10 pounds takes up. And the equivalent of that volume is coming off your body - all over your body...a little from the legs, a little from the belly, a little from the breasts, a little from your face.
So do not despair that you have months and months to go in order to have an easily viewable weight loss. Just know that it is happening, and will continue to happen!
