Little Successes anyone?

What are some of the little victories you gals and guys have witnessed? For me, just today I decided to slip on a pair of shorts I bought 4 years ago when I was 18 (I was a little bit more than my goal weight at the time, probably 155-160 lbs). And they did up! Now, I wouldn't say that I would wear them comfortably out in public, but they did up! That was enough to make me smile this morning They should be good for the end of summer and those first few weeks of classes where it's still warm enough to wear shorts!

That's a great success I think those are the more important victories - not the scale victories!! Rock it girl!! Enjoy your day - celebrate you!!

That's an awesome success!

I am slowly overcoming my fear of high heel shoes... I have bought several pair and even wore a pair out in public last week. And I managed to not fall and break my ankle in them! LOL

I went shopping and tried on size 10 pants, and was said because they just didn't look right. So out of desperation I tried size 8, and they fit and were not tight!!! Very exciting for me. I was in a size 16 in January, and haven't been lower than a 12 in over 12 years!

The other day at the gym a girl about my age came up to me to tell me that I have amazing legs, that shocked me because she has a beautiful body. It felt so good to be complemented by another woman who loves fitness as much as I do. Especially when she complemented something that I am always insecure about

i avoided the pizza last night!
i am a binge pizza eater, and instead of tempting myself by having one or more pieces, i decided on a salad instead. i even sat outside to avoid the temptation. SOOO PROUD!

Too cool! Congrats.

I love little successes; they come so much more often and for me, at least, are insanely great motivators. My faves so far: the difference in how the seat belt in my car fits ... being able to wear jeans I hadn't worn in 8 years ... and then giving away those jeans when they got too big. (woot!)

One of my fave big successes: the choices I make now at the grocery store. Life is good. Forward we go!

I hear you! One of mine is related --- when I was heavier, I refused to where high heels. No matter the height or width of the heel, I felt like a giant apple teetering on itty bitty toothpicks. I am now the proud owner (and wearer) of a pair of 5-inch open-toed canvas clogs that are FABULOUS.

Congrats on your NSV! You will ROCK those shorts.

I'm loving the responses! Every one of you made me smile Congrats everyone!! And keep 'em coming. I find it more motivating to focus on smaller things - makes it seem a little less overwhelming..and I find it even more motivating when people share! I guess everyone does eh?
