My success

knovello82

So I started over on MFP about a month ago and yes I was a bad girl over the holidays, and I have not lost anything yet. I do, however, think that I have achieved something that I have never been able to before: being happy with who I am and what size I am! I grew up in a family that has been kind of obsessed with weight. My older sister has battled eating disorders and is very skinny. I've always been jealous of her (not the disorder part, but the fact that she can keep so fit even when she is not on an eating disorder). I've always felt embarrassed during the holidays seeing all of my extended family & feeling like a fat a**. Well, this year I felt great over the holidays...even though I'm the same weight I was a year ago, I found myself saying "you know what, you are beautiful the way you are, and if someone thinks you aren't they can suck it" This is the first holiday in a long time where I actually felt comfortable in my own skin. I am still going to try to loose, but I'm liking how I feel

Hope everyone else enjoyed their holidays

It's a great feeling to be happy with yourself. For me, just working out on a regular basis makes all the difference in how I feel.

Im happy for you. I learned a long time ago if someone didnt care for the way i looked they could kiss my big butt. Lol. I had a cousin that was really skinny all the time no matter what she ate. Well now that shes married and has kids shes bigger than i am. And thats shocking bc ive always been the thick girl. So i know how u feel. Keep up the good work.
