flattery goes a long way

Addendum to previous entry: perhaps the change is more obvious than I gave myself credit for. A patient's daughter remarked to me at work last week that I had "lost a lot of weight since they started coming to the office last December." And my dad asked if I'd "lost a couple pounds" when we visited them 2 weeks ago. I guess maybe it's been so gradual that I don't notice it myself.

Funny how I was just griping about it not helping... but going for my 40-minute walk did improve my state of mind, if nothing else.
