Ok did something weird and my apologies if this offends anyone bc its not my intention.. but here goes, I stood in the mirror with my clothes off..I actually could see muscles forming here and there and got a good look at the areas I need to work on and I wasn't ashamed of how I look. It was actually kinda rewarding, which is great bc today I feel like crap. I could see the positive results of my hard work , not just weight loss but toned up areas.. It was reassuring and makes me want to work out even more. Registering a gain today but TOM is here and he is not my friend. Every bone in my body hurt this morning when I woke up, from the work outs obviously and my allergies have flared up something wicked BUT, Im not letting that stop me. Ive got goals.Prepping a nice dinner during my lunch break so I can hit the gym with my kid tonite then its off to bed early.. so I can curl up and cry LOL.

And I'll cry with you! I remember how happy I was when I first discovered that I had a waist.

Red, to me that was a big part of it. The day I looked in the mirror and thought to myself damn you look good naked(ah ha moment for me). So good for you muscles, and what you have to work on now that you know it and see it-it can only get better :)

God Bless You! I appreciated your encouraging post :) I'm not losing weight but I am finding that I am accepting myself more and more which is the best gift.

That's so awesome! I hear you about having a waist and the butt not being so big. My daughter said to me the other day "You ARE losing weight--your butt takes up less room when you tuck me in." Ha! Kids.

I'm still waiting to get to that point...where I can look in the mirror and like what I see, when I can actually FEEL like I look sexy and believe it. No matter how many times my husband tells me how beautiful and sexy I am, I want to be able to FEEL it for myself..in my heart. He did tell me yesterday that my butt is getting smaller :-) And I have noticed a bit of definition in my stomach where some abs are trying to poke through :-) I'm waiting for that back fat roll to go away, you know, the one above your hip under your rib cage? I know my stomach will never be FLAT as I have had 3 children each by c-sections and unless I have surgery, that pouch will always be there. But oh well. As long as I can get to the point of "Dang, I look good" then I'll be happy.

I hear you....am certainly looking forward to having a waist again...can't remember the last time I saw it...think maybe 40 years ago! I am one of those ladies with a straight shape...never really ever had a waist even when I was thinner...but of course, I never had a big butt either. LOL Enjoy yours fully....you deserve it!

That was inspiring, I'm not sure if I'll ever get there. When I step out of the shower we have a large mirror on the opposite wall and I try to stay covered as much as possible with the towel. I've never been big on naked even when I had a really good body. I really need to work on my self image, you give me hope.
