    With stronger thighs and less weight, I keep hitting my head on the roof when I get out of my car. Seriously. Every. Time.

    And spending a lot of time flexing in the mirror. Weight lifting FTW!

    LOL. Me too. Most of that is at home, but my trainer has caught me checking myself out more than once and teases me mercilessly about it. "Oh look Linda! There's another mirror!"

    ^^^THIS! Last night my trainer was the one who actually told me to get in front of the mirror so I could see (and appreciate) my rear delt definition while going through my reps. I've never seen her look so proud.

    At this point when she tells me to look at myself doing something (presumably so I know what it looks like when I'm doing it right) I usually can't decide if she actually wants me to look or if she's teasing me. She's a super fun trainer.

    I discovered that I could wear high heels that used to ache and I would blame the design of the shoe but when I had lost my weight I realized I was so much lighter on my feet that it was no longer painful. That was a huge "oh yeah" moment.

    Yesterday I was looking at the most lovely pair of heels I have ever seen and thought, maybe, just maybe when I lose all this weight I can buy these and actually wear them longer than just around my house to see if I should really leave my house without a back up pair of flats. Thank you for this! You have made my day :)

    *Being able to zip high boots up right to the top because my calves fit in them!!!
    *I never recognize myself in reflections of store windows or mirrors and so I'm always caught off guard like there was someone standing close to me and I didn't realize. I always look around startled before realizing THAT'S ME!!!!!

    This is too cute!!! Congratulations!!!!

    After losing 25kg through diet and lots of cycling, I recently had trouble buying trousers because the trousers were too tight on the thighs but loose on the waist.

    Story of my life!!

    I noticed I spend more time caring for and decorating my body - caring for it in the gym and the kitchen inspires me to spend extra time rubbing on lotions, grooming, wearing makeup, adorning with jewelry - I'm not yet near my goal weight but happily I love my body again and want to treat it well all the time :)

    This! I also never used to look at myself in mirrors or allow anyone to take my picture and now I spend a few moments in front of the mirror to give myself a once over and see if I can notice more changes.
