I love that I can feel my bones now, especially my hips because there was so much fat in that area.

    I love looking in the mirror and at photos of myself and feeling proud, not ashamed. I love feeling truly flattered instead of uncomfortable when someone compliments me. I love how energetic I feel and how easily I can run and climb mountains and stairs. I love wearing clothes that actually speak for who I am rather than wearing whatever fits out of necessity. I love feeling at peace with myself instead of at odds.

    Since I've lost 30 pounds I love my smile, I used to hate it. I don't know why I like it now, maybe because I feel more proud of myself :laugh:

    I love not feeling out of control around food. I love not having to huff and puff when I go up a flight of stairs. I noticed today at church that I don't have to use the pew in front of me to hoist myself up during mass - I love that! I love shopping in the regular section at the store. Mostly, I find that I love life. :) Happy Thanksgiving! This year I am truly thankful!

    I love my lab numbers and awesome read-outs at the blood pressure machines.
    I love the spring in my step and added energy.
    I love getting back into the clothes I've saved.
    I love being eager to do fitness events again.

    I love that I can walk. I love that I can stand to take a shower. I love that I can stand to do the dishes. I love being able to play with my nieces and nephews.

    I love my increased self confidence... I have become more outgoing and friendly! It is also a plus to fit in a skinny seat on the bus!

    Being able to try on clothes and find things that I know look good on me.

    I love that I am looking forward to Thanksgiving because I won't feel like I'm too fat to eat.
    I love that I have to keep pulling old clothes out of storage because nothing in my closet fits anymore.
    I love that this all feels sustainable now. It didn't when I started, everything seemed overwhelming and working out felt like work. Now working out feels fun, and counting calories is so easy (especially since I eat the same things 5-6 days/week, so I don't have to bother logging it in).

    I love being able to chase my kids around in the garden or on the field. I'm also kind of addicted to buying new clothes since losing the weight.

    Most of all, I like that I can control my eating habits so that I don't end up where I used to be.

    Love the fact I can wear size 6. Also that my husband likes to pinch my butt when I walk past. I won't tell him that.

    Me too! I still have about 35lbs to go, but I go out looking for clothes all the time. I used to hate shopping since nothing ever looked good on me.

    I love;

    Wearing a size 6
    Calling myself a runner
    My smile, I never used to smile
    My new found confidence (I went to a singles mixer alone Saturday)
    When I get dressed just grabbing what ever
    Freedom In not having to wear what camouflages trouble areas the best

    I was a healthy obese person lab wise and vital signs wise, or I would have that on top of my list.
