Two Days of NSV!

There's a guy I've known since he was 13 because I worked with his mother. This means he saw me at my heaviest (255) which was several years ago. I saw him for the first time in months Sunday, and he said, "Damn! You look awesome! Way to go!" For a 34 year old to hear that from a 21 year old was the greatest feeling! Then tonight I was talking to some coworkers and I said something I've said most of my life: I'm very flexible for a fat-*kitten*. I've always had horrible self-esteem...I'm slowly learning how harmful those comments are, but anyway... One of the guys said, "But you're not fat! You've done an amazing job losing weight! Seriously, you're not fat!" I'm still 206 lbs, which makes me obese, but my hard work is being recognized, and it feels incredible! I may be doing this for myself and my family, but their feedback pushes me even harder. I think I'm even realizing how great my extended circle of friends is.

Also, I spent part of my first day of being 34 years old doing 30DS. I'm on level 1 day 9, and my PANTS FELL DOWN while I was doing jumping jacks!!!

I am seriously on cloud 9 right now. This is going to be a great year!
