I was doing my morning work out this morning which consists of dancing around in front of the mirror with my hair brush and the tunes cranked full blast when I realized that I actually LOVE my body!
For the first time ever in my life I can look in the mirror and even though it's far from perfect I am so proud of the work I've done and the way my body is coming back to life that I honestly stopped dancing, hugged myself and started crying.....
For years I looked at people and said if I could have that body I would be so happy..... and now I do!
Please Please Please don't ever give up!..... When I started I could hardly move, walking to the car was an effort and climbing the stairs were something I avoided at all costs.... now I'm DANCING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dance dance dance! That is so spectacular. Looking in your own mirror and seeing a body that you can say "I wish I had that body" is a fantastic win. Fantastic! Wish no more, you've done the work yourself and found what you were looking for, self respect.0

awesome thanks!!0

How amazing for you, I am so glad you love yourself far too many people on here don't like themselves and run themselves down all the time and that can be damaging in so many ways.
When I saw how much weight you had lost I was truly impressed well done you deserve to love yourself. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:0 -
Congratulations! I'm happy for you. I hope to have a similar feeling some day.

Congrats!! Great job, I can't wait to have that feeling.0

Thanks!
I honestly never thought I would be happy with my body... .I've hated it for so long and done everything to hide it......I completely broke down when I realized I was actually comfortable in my own body. I KNOW I'm going to buy a 2 piece bathing suit for next summer and if I'm still a little chubby I won't even care!.........
I just wanted everyone here to know it, so that you can find your way here too..... I am floating!0 -
WOW!!! a tear jerker...that's what it's all about...Loving Yourself inspite of imperfections. Congrats!!! Dance like no one is watching 0
