Hello MFP peeps.
Slightly wanky post (or, more relevantly, pose) incoming.
Those on my friends list will know that I updated my status recently following me taking my measurements. To cut a long story short, my waist is 11" smaller than it was 18 months ago. I took my (Athena poster/gayboy pose) progress picture, had a little smile and that was that.
I was digging through some old photos earlier and came across this one of me larking about with some friends (I'm sure the pose was both relevant and hilarious at the time), and did the natural before/after comparison.
What had me quietly taken aback more than anything was my happiness with my body as it is. Pooch included (I have what I call flabs - sneaky, shy little abs with stage fright wrapping themselves in a velvety curtain of fat, squealing NO NO I DON'T WANT TO GO ON-STAGE YOU CAN'T MAKE ME).
Is there room for improvement? I guess. But for someone who was historically dissatisfied with their body, and now sometimes scrutinises it more than I really should, that quiet satisfaction really hit home.

ETA - ignore the druggie dark circles in the after shot. I'm blimmin' knackered.

Great job hun!! What an amazing transformation and completely inspirational! Well done you!! x x0

Thank you all very much. My stomach is my problem area; but looking at that photo I thought shy abs were better than no abs! I'll always have a degree of loose skin, I think, but that's okay - a reminder0

Awesome work, girly. Look at you! I cannot imagine EVER standing in front of a mirror with my abdomen out & not feeling repulsed. You've done SO amazingly well! And, the abs are DEFINITELY there!!
In slightly related news, I do love the dress in the 'before' shot, though.0 -
You look fantastic hun.
Well done xxx0 -
THIS is why I tell you that you are my inspiration. You're a friend, you've been there and you've done it, worked your *kitten* off and got the version of you that you wanted to be. You're are proof that it can be done and that with the right effort, I can get there too.
So bloody proud of your achievements, and so proud to call you friend.
Big love, gorgeous x0
