    I never thought that I would be able to post a photo showing my body.....and then I decided WTH! I've come a long way.....and I'll tell you what, I have NEVER felt so liberated. For me, it's not about the sexy part of it (I mean it doesn't hurt lol) but it's about pride....about realizing, for myself, how far I have come!

    Just take that pic....you might need to take 100 before you feel like you have one that you "kind of" like.....but just take it. And look at it. And reflect on it. Look at every bit of your body and how it has changed since you have started. It's about progress....it's about being kind to ourselves and beginning to speak kind words to ourselves. Honest, it's the best feeling ever :smile:

    Okay, here's me (and yeah, I'm WAYYY to old to be doing this!)
    I'm not all the way there yet, but...

    I'm 5'8, 167, size 10... got 15 lbs or so left to lose. I'm feeling okay because I think I look better than I did 8 years ago, and I feel like I felt 25 years ago... maybe better!

    I hope this will encourage others to post also.

    to my average ladies & gents... thank you for participating! Hugs all around!!!

    I love how genuinely happy you look in this picture! You're rockin' it girl!!

    This.

    I've been working for several months on positive self-talk. It takes practice but it's such a healthier mindset to focus on the good things you see. Plus everyone around you is affected by how you talk about yourself. I unintentionally made someone feel bad a few months ago because I was talking about my flaws, and what she heard was that even a slim body isn't good enough. So she was looking at herself and wondering what I was thinking about her. I didn't mean it that way at all and after she told me that I decided to work on my self-image. I'm loads happier with my body than I was then, and it hasn't changed much. What has changed is my perception. Be kind to yourself. :flowerforyou:

    Hun, most of us have stretch marks. Heck, I have silver marks all around the top of my butt/hip area and I haven't even had kids.

    I love this thread and if MFP made it easier to post pics, I would totally post. Awesome. I know it's not out of the question hard to post, but I boycott photos out of principle on the lack of ease. Keep up the good work, ladies! This is great.
