Learning to take a compliment after six quiet months

I am down 18 pounds since January, and my weekly average has been moving down about half a pound. The number is not the part that surprised me.

Last week a coworker said I seemed more settled lately, and I almost gave my usual answer: oh, it is just the lighting. I stopped, said thank you, and later wrote it in my notes app next to my weekly weigh-ins. It felt strange but good.

For anyone further along, what small non-scale moment convinced you that the changes were real?
