Love hearing "You're so skinny!" and other NSV!

So far I've lost about 16 lbs, which I know isn't much, but it's a big enough difference that many people around me obviously notice cause I keep getting tons of "You are really getting so thin, you look great!" Total boost in my self-esteem! Before starting this, I never thought I'd get to a point where I actually like my body. I have a muscular build, so I'll never be too thin, but with this weight loss I'm really starting to like the way my body looks. Is it wierd that I like my body better in a bikini rather than jeans and fitted shirt?
Also, I'm doing the C25K, on week 8, day 1, but ran even longer! First time I've ran that long in a long time! I also didn't hate it every minute and kinda found a good rhythm. I may even LIKE running one day!
AND, in a scale victory-I finally broke that pesky 150 mark- scale said 148.8 today! I'm sure it's just water weight loss as I didn't drink much yesterday, but it's still nice to see, and know that soon, it will be my "true" weight!! YAY!

I think that the best part of your post was your personal realization that *gasp* you are starting to like your body. I am now feeling the same way and after years of self-loathing, I think that it is the best NSV possible. Great job!
