Two mental victories, one post.

First one:
Yesterday my ex started talking to me on Facebook. His first comment was pretty much "Wow, you look stunning. Are you working out or something?" Considering me dumped me, I did feel slightly smug. What was even cooler, however was the fact that I took the compliment and moved on. In the past, I always wanted to look good because of what someone else thought of me. Now I want to look good for myself and I want to be healthy for ME!
Which brings me to my second victory...
I used to always want to be rail thin. That's what I strived for day in and day out. In fact, I was rain thin. I would maintain and every single time the weight would creep back on. Thanks to MFP and the wonderful people here, I decided that rail thin is NOT what I want anymore. I used to be terrified of the word "muscle". I thought it meant a huge, bulky body and I had decided there was no way I wanted to exercise in case I ended up like that.
After hanging around here for awhile I have decided to totally change my way of thinking. I don't want to be sickly thin, I want to be healthy thin! I want to look strong and still have curves.
Basically what I am trying to say is "Thank you people!"
Cheers!
