Pretty much the best thing you can hear at a gym

So tonight at the gym I was doing my normal routine. I finished my cardio and was working on the weight machines and a woman I have seen but never spoken to before came up to me and said:

"I just wanted to tell you - I'm a trainer here I've noticed how long you've been coming here and how often you come. I see how hard you work and I just wanted to tell you you're doing great and it is really noticeable. Don't worry, I don't say this to everyone, but I really think this is something you need to hear."

She didn't give me her name, she didn't try to sign me up for training or anything. It really seems like she was sincere and it was truly a very good moment for me. As much as I know I am down about 55lbs since I started a little over a year ago and have changed my appearance rather dramatically, it is really amazing to have have a total stranger tell me they have noticed. It also bares mentioning that yesterday at Thanksgiving dinner my family was really taken aback by my appearance. Some of them hadn't seen me since the spring and they were really impressed.

I guess the weight I have lost really is noticeable. :)
