    To be honest, and at the risk of sounding conceited, I always think "wow, you look amazing".

    If you were to ask me prior to getting in shape I would think "wow, you have really nice hair" or "Nice boobs" lol. I try not to ever put myself down.

    Um, YOU DO!

    I try not to look much. When I do I ask myself "The rolls are having kids!!!". When the big ones start to shrink they reveal new little ones.

    I honestly always think "it's a great day to be alive" and then smile. I lift my shirt (every morning) and think "someday I will have real abs." Then I do some squats. For some strange reason I enjoy watching myself do squats in the mirror!

    Not good at all.... but it has improved a lot since I lost weight. I feel a lot happier and healthier now but my self esteem still sucks.

    Red stretchmarks everywhere, it is really bothering me at the moment. Other than that I think that I'm improving.

    I tell myself that I can't believe I let this get so out of control, and that I am working on it, and will NEVER let that happen again. Then it's usually something about how gross my thighs and my arms are. : )

    It used to be I'd look at myself and think that I was pretty from the mouth up... lol I've always like my eyes and I have great hair. but lately I look myself in the eye and tell myself that I'm worth the hard work I'm putting in and that at the end of the day I matter and I will be a better person for all this hard work. :o)

    That being said I cannot WAIT for the day I look and I see my cheek bones and defined jaw line again. *sigh*

    hmm... well I tend to love the shoulders and arms... like the abs... but wish that freaking kangaroo pouch (from having two, almost 9 pound, babies) would just go away.

    Umm, looking at your profile pic, I believe it did!

    I sing Mary J. Blige "Just Fine" my favorite line is ...so I like what I see when I'm looking at me when I'm walking pass the mirror. I'm not there yet, but I see myself there. Trying to be positive.

    At the risk of sounded conceited - Although I'm 5'4" and have lost 7lbs (CW 180.4lbs) I don't mind how I look.

    My self-esteem is pretty high which is why it probably took so long for me to decide that I really need to get in shape. Of course I know things should be smaller/tighter, but I'm quite confident in my skin now. More so than when I was younger and weighed my current Goal Weight. I guess confidence comes with age.

    I don't like my stomach, thighs or butt very much.. but it will all change for the better. I'm sure of that.

    :)))

    I DEF feel this^^ way!!! But my thoughts usually go a little something like this: "I definitely see why you are ssoo attractive to others, as I'm very confident IN MYSELF as well!" However, as a lesbian female, I don't look into the mirror and see the body of someone I'd " *kitten* " as others have said lol

    I look in the mirror and for one minutes I see skinny legs and thighs. Then my mind takes over and says I have a fat body and need to lose weight because 114 pounds is to big.
