While watching the Olympics (I'm so sad they're over!) I would always look at the gymnast/swimmers/volleyball players and think that that, yes, they had amazing bodies, but that they were so muscular. I would find myself thinking that I never wanted to be that muscular, and I would turn my attention back to the skinny things in the magazines for inspiration.

But now days the women olympians are everywhere-Magazines/TV/advertisements, and they look so different in actual clothes instead of a swimsuit or leotard. They look healthy, fit, and teeny-tiny in their regular clothes! And no, their muscles aren't bulging out all over the place!!

Forget the pin-thin, bobble-head teen stars! I want to look like an Olympian!!!

    my main goal now is to shed the pounds to find the lean muscles bulging beneath. I love to feel my biceps, triceps, shoulders and stomach...it amazes me. Right now I have to hold in really hard to see or feel them....but they are there!

    I feel them when I lift or carry something.

    I love feeling strong.

    I cant wait to see the new me emerge from beneath. :flowerforyou:
