NSV: Pride of ownership.

esphixiet · May 2012

I went out for my first mountain-bike ride of the season, and had a little epiphany as I rode up to my car after an hours ride.

I've always felt pride-of-ownership of things I've acquired, my car, my fancy mountain bike, other long-sought trinkets... but today is the first time I have ever felt pride of ownership of my own body.

Wow... not one reply. Amazing.

I definitely feel more pride about myself since I started running 9 months ago. I'm not done and I don't plan to rock a bikini, but I have made noticeable differences especially to my lifestyle.

Exactly! I'm no where near done, but I'm finally at a point where I'm not looking in the mirror going, "ewww'. I'm looking in the mirror going, "you're really something, and you'll continue to be something if you stay on this path". Best motivation, self motivation!!

You've reached a major milestone. That is truly the best place to be, psychologically and emotionally speaking, when you are proud to "own" it. Great share!

Would have replied earlier, but I was sleeping

Good for you!

I never thought I'd be happy until I reached my goal. I'm almost half-way there and I've never been happier. It feels good to get up, get dressed and tackle the world every day.

It can only get better!

Congrats to you on all your hard work!
