    I've always taken pride in my appearance. Even when was overweight/obese I did the best I could at whatever size I was wearing.

    But I was uncomfortable. When I was losing weight I wanted the fat rolls gone, to be able to wear a bikini and shop at any store I wanted without going to the plus-sized section. I didn't even have a goal weight or a celebrity dream body inspiration. Just wanted the weight off and to get fit.

    I worked really hard, reached my goal and all the above and more. I don't have a fitness model body and I'm not skinny (never strived for either body type), but I'm in perfect health, have a normal BMI, very fit, comfortable with my lifestyle (don't have to diet or overexercise to maintain my figure) I feel amazing and love the way I look.

    Like the above poster said I also feel that it's empowering to embrace your own standards and be the best you can be.


    I keep writing and deleting my response to this thread. This pretty much sums it up for me as well.
