I feel pretty a lot lately. That hasnt happened to me in a long time. I feel confidant, proud and energetic. I love this new me that I have found. And I am starting to hate having my picture taken a lot less then I used to! Just wanted to share. Anyone else have this happening to them? I am also wanting to do more "upkeep" for myslef. Hair, nail, makeup, shaving etc. Had really gotten lazy on all that when I was at my heaviest.

    Good for you!!! At my thinnest, I always took care of myself compared to being at my heaviest. I cannot wait to get that feeling of confidence back and I'm so glad you are feeling it! :smile:

    I feel the same today...Have really had that "friday feeling" and not the one where im desperate to get to the pub either!

    Im eating better, exercising more, sleepng better...my skin is glowing & my hair is glossy -- i really feel great.

    A couple of people have commented that ive lost weight this week too so even though its only 3lbs at the moment its obviously showing.

    I can truly relate to the ways we negatively look at ourselves and treat ourselves when we are at our heaviest. I am happy to hear that you have been able to feel better... That is something I am looking forward to again! keep it up! btw.. I'm new here..

    I feel pretty a lot lately.

    I think you feel pretty because you ARE pretty.

    I understand what you mean! I went out and bought a bunch of clothes, a makeup spree at sephora and I have been shaving and keeping myself up! lol Its odd but really makes me happy to feel like this again!

    I've only lost 10 lb but I can really feel a difference in my energy, my self control and my self esteem. I know I walk taller now, more confident. You're much less depressed when you know you're doing something good for yourself for the long run, and it shows in the way you carry yourself, and the way you present yourself to others.

    Good work, keep it up!
