Okay so ive posted about the small amounts of negatives with weightloss now for the positives!

I have completely changed the way i see myself, no longer fat and worthless i now feel strong inside and out!

I feel the most confident when im at the gym working up a sweat

Seeing people i haven't seen for a while noticing how great i look!

Inspiring and motivating people to do the same :)

Looking good in clothes, being able to wear what i like not what makes me look smaller

Whats your favorite things about loosing weight?

    Well, first of all, we're not worthless when we're fat; we're just fat. Those feelings of worthlessness aren't justified.

    That having been said, I feel stronger and healthier, I have more energy to keep up with my son and husband, and the little aches and pains I'd developed along with the extra pounds seem to have disappeared.

    I also enjoy being able to easily paint my own toenails again. Not being able to do that really sucked.

    Picking out clothes because I like them, and not just because they fit!

    I feel the same way after I workout - gotta love those endorphins!

    Just the way I feel - I had a major splurge weekend a week ago, and even though I don't regret it, I felt like crap afterwards! It literally felt like I was hungover. Once I got back on track, I felt fine again, and now I've realized how amazing I feel with a good diet.

    The compliments on how good I look are wonderful too. (:
