Not only have I gone to the beach in a bikini TWO weekends in a row (and currently experiencing painful sunburns as a result...) - As I'm sitting here on my bed, confronted by my dressing mirror... I actually *feel* skinny. I've been struggling this whole time to see the size 6 me, instead of the size 12 me. And here I am... looking at myself...noticing my collarbones, and my distinct shoulders...and the fact that my waist does in fact nip in.

Long story long...I don't feel like the huge whale I've been seeing myself as. The mental change is finally coming with the physical. I'm still 12 lbs away from my goal, but I know it will come with determination and dedication. Now that I'm finally seeing what my hard work has REALLY done...I can't wait to see what else I've got.


Just thought I'd share! :D

    Congratulations! Someone on here wrote that the taste of food doesn't outweigh the delight of seeing yourself skinny. As you've experienced!
