Dear Naked Reflection,

HollyHobbitToes

I used to cringe when I saw you. All you showed me were rolls of fat and an overhang over my c-section scar. You pointed out the fat on my back that digusted me because I used to see women with back fat and thought I'd NEVER have THAT!

I avoided you for a long time. Afraid to know the truth. Inside I felt thin and beautiful and as long as I didn't look at you, I could continue to believe I was thin instead of this blob I'd become. Looking at you made me sick. You told me I was a failure. You told me I was ugly, even when on the inside I still felt beautiful and sexy.

This morning, I didn't avoid you. I made the concious decision to stand in front of the mirror and look at you. I was shocked at what I saw. I no longer saw rolls of fat. You showed me fat, but not the way it was before. The BEST part of it was that I could actually see my c-section scar. The thing I thought I'd NEVER be able to get rid of is SHRINKING! That nasty, fat filled over-hanging belly is disappearing! I can see my belly button again, not just a winking roll of fat.

So, naked reflection, what do you have to say for yourself after losing 50 pounds?

That's right, *****! You have NOTHING to say!

Booyah!!!!

I'm definitely at the point where I avoid mirrors like the plague. I am the same way...what I see in the mirror does NOT reflect how I feel. When I was growing up (a super active child, teenager...even a cheerleader in highschool)...I would THINK I was fat, when I really wasn't. Now...I have the opposite going on. I still feel like the girl in my cheerleading days...but then I'll look in the mirror, or (HORROR OF ALL HORRORS) a PICTURE of myself, and I'm like, "WHO IS THIS?!?!"

Congrats on being able to put that mirror in its place!! Can't wait for that to be me someday!

Love, Hugs and Energetic Weight Loss Vibes!
