I had a miniature revelation today at work.

There are tons of reflective windows at my office, which I pass by every single time I walk outside. Several months ago I would look into those mirrors to try and readjust my outfit to cover up any problem areas, and basically just be down on myself. I would think I was motivating myself by going "Ugh, my booty is sagging. My arms are too thick. I should really join a gym..." which I soon realized was having the opposite effect.

Without realizing it, my attitude has slowly been changing. I changed into my workout gear in the office bathroom this afternoon, and then walked outside for something. I caught myself staring at my reflection, like usual, but this time... I was checking myself out. :wink:

I love small victories like this, and just wanted to share with everyone. :flowerforyou:

    Congrats! Small victories are an important motivator! Just being able to wear something that is not as tight or to fit into something I couldn't before is awesome!
