Wore shorts for the first time in years

Options
OK, I wore a pair of shorts while doing errands yesterday because I really felt good about my body. I'm not thin by any shape of the imagination (try almost 300 pounds) but after four weeks of work and dropping 15 pounds -- and my husband commenting on my toned legs -- I took them out for a spin. I think it's been four years since I've worn shorts in public.

I feel strong and powerful now, so how can I feel bad about my body?

Anybody else have similar stories?
