While working out on the treadmill today, I saw my reflection in a dark pic that hangs on the wall above the treadmill. The reflection is not exact, because of the dark picture, but I can see myself still thru the glass darkly.

When I first started walking on the treadmill a little over a month ago--it was sheer unadulterated agony--so hard and painful for/to me. On top of that woe, I saw/would see in the reflection a HUGE figure of myself threw the glass darkly and it was rather, ummm, discouraging to say the least. Today for the first time I saw my reflection and I saw a smaller me (don't get me wrong, I've still got a long way to go...40 more pounds--I haven't arrived but I've not only LEFT the place of Yuck--but I'm moving more and more toward my goal and prize of a healthier, slimmer, happier, more livelier/ALIVE inside and out ME), and I saw a SMALLER me, I saw my arms that are getting well defined with beautiful muscles--sleeker looking and not flab/batwings under my arms, my face is slimming down, my double chin is just about gone. Most important...I FELT smaller and lighter as I walked on the ole treadmill today, it was an empowering and humbling feeling at the same time.

I'm getting smaller outside and bigger inside--that's so FANTASTIC to/for me!!!!!:glasses:

    I had the same thing happen to me. And then all the sudden I couldn't stay out the mirror during exercise/dance class.
