Day 41, and I'm going to throw this out there:
I love myself.
No, not "I love myself now that I'm down a few pant sizes." Not "I love myself but I'll love myself more when I weigh 160 pounds."
I love myself. Plain and simple.
I love myself fat, curvy, thick, luscious, womanly, Rubenesque, whatever you want to call it. I loved my body before I decided to lose weight, and I'll love it after. I've never been embarrassed of who I am or what I look like. I love clothes shopping and seeing how I fill out the clothes that hug my curves.
My decision to lose weight came out of a desire to make sure I'm as healthy as I am happy. I want to keep up on a hike! I want to run a 5K! I want to live a very long time, and see my family grow!
Some of the self-depreciating comments in the forums make me so sad! The comments of "Ew, this is me before.... I was so disgusting!" are disheartening for me to hear. Love yourself, and the most beautiful thing you can do for yourself is be happy.

Amen to that! So many people put their lives on hold till this is accomplished, or say I'll be happy when thats done. Life is being lived right now and living life disliking, abusing, and dissing yourself is no way to live. Good for you figuring out that there is more to life than those ephemeral things. You've got the right goals in mind and you're doing great things to get there.

Absolutely, Dani- it makes me sad to see people in the mindset of "Once I change myself, I'm going to get the job, the soul mate, the happiness" when it's something they could do right now. Everybody has something they'd change about themselves, but it shouldn't hold you back. Thanks! Keep doing great, Dani!

I LOVE this. Sometimes people put to much emphasis on trying to be the model and they think their self worth is reflected on a scale or a pants size. I hate to admit but I sometimes think along those lines. Thanks for the Great reminder to love yourself regardless. Most days I am ok at that, some days I am awful at that.
