Small victory :)

I had a miniature revelation today at work.
There are tons of reflective windows at my office, which I pass by every single time I walk outside. Several months ago I would look into those mirrors to try and readjust my outfit to cover up any problem areas, and basically just be down on myself. I would think I was motivating myself by going "Ugh, my booty is sagging. My arms are too thick. I should really join a gym..." which I soon realized was having the opposite effect.
Without realizing it, my attitude has slowly been changing. I changed into my workout gear in the office bathroom this afternoon, and then walked outside for something. I caught myself staring at my reflection, like usual, but this time... I was checking myself out.
I love small victories like this, and just wanted to share with everyone. :flowerforyou:
