Body NSV (Kind of?)

Options
Well I'm finally realizing that I actually have hips and a little curve to my body shape! At 315 pounds I didn't care what shape I was, frankly I didn't care about anything; I just always thought I was really boxy and took after my dad. I am built pretty much like my dad and he is very boxy. Well, I have been noticing lately that I have a little hour glass curve going on. It's small but there is curve there. I put on a friend's North Face Jacket this morning and it fit perfectly everywhere except it was kind of snug at the bottom. I was like " This doesn't make sense! It fits everywhere else" then I noticed the the spot where it zipped up was along my hips and that's why it was tight. So my hips are actually bigger than my waist! I'm kind of excited about this because it's new to me.

As I have lost weight I have become more in tune with my body. I have also noticed I nit pick myself more than I ever have before (it's something I'm working on because I don't want to be unhappy with my body when I get to my goal). But before when I was super fat and even before then when I wasn't 315 pounds I was never in tune with my body. I just say a straight body so I didn't care. Now I'm noticing things about my body that I never noticed before and it's all so interesting to me. I have never been healthy ( I am somewhat now or at least more so than 86 pounds ago) or at a healthy weight so being able to see my collar bones, knee bones, feet bones, and finger bones is almost foreign to me! I have never been under 200 as an adult (Very sad, I know) and I am only 30 more pounds until I reach wonderland and I am so completely eager to see what my body looks like.

So, I guess this NSV is that I noticed I do actually have some curves to me and I am becoming more aware of my physical body.

    I must be dumb because I don't see the button to edit my post.

    I meant *ONDERLAND* not wonderland! hahaha. I'm a dummy!

    Great job! We need to notice those things about ourselves. Too many of us look in the mirror and see all those things we hate! So good for your NSV. Merry Christmas.

    I finally got used to portion control, and I am starting to workout again. I'm doing a 30 day get in shape program at my gym, and then doing a 90 day warrior challenge. Just got through with day 1, so 29 to go until the big one.
