I keep hearing my MFP buddies and myself say "I can't beleive it! I NEVER thought I would _______, but NOW I TOTALLY AM!!!":smile:

Mine:
-I NEVER thought I could rock a pencil skirt without my thighs/butt looking ginormous, but NOW I AM!!!"
-I NEVER thought I would be someone people ask for advice on losing weight, but NOW I AM!!"
-I NEVER thought I would be someone who didn't loathe working out, but NOW I AM (I actually even enjoy it sometimes)!!"

What's your (MFP related) version?

    I never thought I'd be getting up at 5:30 in the morning to go to the gym 5 days a week! Or that I'd even have a gym membership to begin with!

    Or, that I would look forward to exercising, and wouldn't mind sweating so much! Really? Me?!

    I never thought I would eat veggie burgers. I still love my beef or turkey burgers but at 70 calories those Boca burgers make my lunch plate at least once a week now.

    I NEVER thought I would like shopping for clothes ever again, but now I can can find flattering, classy things in regular stores. I'm only half way to dream weight, but I'm thrilled at where I am now.

    I never thought I would enjoy running but I find myself getting up very early to do it.
    I never thought I would love healthy food. I was a junk food junkie for years.
    I never eally thought I owuld care so much about my health. I was a lazy but busy mom of 4 and just didn't have the energy to work out or the time but somehow I do all the time now.
    I never thought I would work at a gym!!! But I love it!!!!!

    I never thought I'd crave the gym. I never thought I'd skip a girls night out because of a workout. I never thought I'd be a regular at the gym. I never thought people who know me from the gym. I never thought I'd crave fruits and veggies.

    I never thought I would be eating YOGURT!!!

    hahaha yogurt. I never thought I would be eating yogurt either...I never liked the idea of eating it, looked kind of inconsistant or something. I'll eat one or two every..5 months? what? that's a big change from not eating it at all heh.

    glad someone posted this on here.
