I have noticed the same - esp in my face and stomach. Less puffy - brighter whites in my eyes. My complexion is also more even and less blotchy. I'm breaking out alot but I'm sure my body is going through a lot of changes. I'll take it too!
It's good for us to notice the positives and not just focus on what we are "missing". I know it will keep creeping in my mind, but I try and consciously remember these benefits. Oh, and the money saved!!! Coffee and iced tea are so much cheaper!
I bought myself a few new items of clothing as a treat. I think rewarding myself is a good incentive too!!
Great job, bexxed!
