NSV: CONTINUED TRANSFORMATION w PIC/ THROWING OUT THE SCALE

Just2Bhappy

You look amazing!!! Great job!

You look wonderful - a classic hourglass figure that lots of men love - even if your friend may have implied otherwise. I have a similar build; tall with broad shoulders, full chest and hips, a round booty, and sturdy legs, and for years beat myself up because I didn't have the type of body glorified in fashion spreads - you know, the one that looks more like an adolescent boy! My mindset has changed, in part due to my husband. He loves my curves and my size. He said when we married he was excited at the thought that I might one day produce sons that had "some size on them." (He got his wish, btw - our boys are TALL.) He also said he loved the thought that I could put up a fight when we wrestled - which I found strangely sexy! I have learned to see my legs as powerful instead of big, my shoulders as athletic instead of manly, and my curves as sexy instead of plump.

Make the most of what you've been given. Strong is the new sexy! And you are a strong, sexy woman, no doubt about it!

This is really good to know and very incouraging that there are men that appreciate a womans curvy body

You look absolutely fabulous and I'm sorry that someone almost took that away from you, intentional or not. Own it girl!

Glorious! I'm pea-green with envy when it comes to ladies who have such skinny little waists and gorgeous, curvy, feminine, figures.

I'm very rectangular.

I dont know what is better. Your physical progress....or the text that accompanies your current picture. What a great attitude. Love it. Keep it up....you are definitely on your way to accomplishing whatever you want.

Bangin' curves, girl! You look AMAZING!

beatlesfan31

What an amazing post! Thank you for sharing.

micervera

You look absolutely amazing!! Thank you for the motivation that I needed. The scale will not always reflect what you have accomplished. As long as you feel that you are where you want to be is better than the scale.

lovesharmony

You look amazing! Great job on the work.......

SixCatFaerie

Congrats! I think You Look Great In Both Photos!

Pwrpuff83

I won't echo all the sentiments above me - goes without saying!

What I want to know is...HOW did you get jeans to fit you so AWESOMELY! I have such jean issues...lol

Misssynth

Well done! Your figure now is absolutely stunning!

NakedLunchTime

You look awesome!! I hate the scale too! Mirror, clothes, and how I feel is what I go by. It really makes it less stressful!

shoniabrown

Congratulations! You look awesome and are a true inspiration!

Hello MFP FRIENDS! I'm DONE with the scale. The mirror and how I feel are my parameters for now. Additionally, wanted to share a post I put up this morning that addresses some mental challenges that I bet some of you grapple with that way I did just a few hours ago.

MIND over MATTER, SHUT OUT THE CHATTER. Let's reach goals. Today, mine shift!!

First pic is today and the second is 11 months ago. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!!!! Reach for the STARS!!!!!!

DAMN GIRL!!! you....look...AHHHHHH MAAAAA ZINNNNGGGGG!!! Great job and dediciation recognized!

sadye58

Your waist looks so tiny, you are looking incredible! Good on you for recognizing comments for what they are, not what you think they were meant to be, I think sometimes a lot of people get caught up in their own minds and forget to expand their thinking. So congrats

rbeckner711

I love the little blurb with the photo. You are 100% right about reacting to people's comments based on your feelings, and some may not have been meant to be mean. You have a great head on your shoulders, a great outlook on life and you are looking fantastic too!
