self-confidence a transformation from the inside out

We all struggle with something. The biggest thing that i have struggled with probably all my life is self confidence..always worried what people thought about me because of my weight, always so shy..never in the front of the line, always in the back of the crowd to hide, never social, scared to talk to people, but with this journey i am on, it was a transformation that happened from the inside out. I post pictures all the time, its because i am proud of myself, i want to share that happiness with my friends and others. my confidence is through the roof right now and its not a bad thing, it something i never had before. i would never post pictures of my full body ever before, because frankly i was disgusted with myself. if i had picture on my facebook profile. it was always my face or hiding behind someone. I dont hide anymore, and I dont care what people think of me anymore, what matters is what my family thinks of me and what i think of myself! This journey has changed me in so many ways. it was hard work, i had to tear down walls and some walls still exist today, but now i face my fears, and i face those obstacles, because i am stronger. I am still the same me, but this journey has taught me to live life, to live my life with confidence and love and happiness and cherish each day to the fullest. Beachbody not only helped me lose 73lbs it has helped me step out of that comfort zone to make a difference to share with someone who is going through the same thing, and with that there is no better feeling to know that you had inspired someone to become healthy and happy!. what do you struggle with? feel free to add me:) <3

    YOU.ARE.STUNNING.... Glad I could get that out of the way!

    I struggle with knowing when to stop. I have never been really unhappy with my body, but now I am getting to a point where I am starting to love my body, flaws and all. However part of my wonders, when do I stop? Will I ever be skinny enough/muscular enough? Will I have the commitment to carry on the way I am forever, or will I quit and become pudgy again?!

    My ideas of what 'eating noramlly' means have changed soooo dramatically, that I would like to think, even after MFP I may remain good to myself. That is my hope anyway!
