I feel sooooo good

[littlefroggy 0]

Here are some things I am feeling soooooo good about- what about you?

1. Not knowing how to react to being hit on (that this is actually a problem for me is a totally brand new thing!)

2. That I bought skinny jeans in a size 16 (I can actually be fashionable now, and look all hipsterish and cute!)

3. That the boots I bought 2 years ago actually zip up on my legs now!

4. That last summer when I went to Torrid, even the size 4's didn't fit. I just bought a shirt in a size 1!!!

5. I feel so damn good! I even bought make-up and thought I would never wear make-up and that it was stupid. I showed me! (ha!)

6. I really want to keep going! I am over the hump and happy, happy, happy.

7. 2009 is going to rock!

what are you feeling GOOD about these days???

Congratulations, froggy. Weight loss is wonderful, isn't it? I remember how excited I felt when I could fit into size 16s without the W! Over the years as I got fatter and fatter I had to give away clothes that I loved; now I am doing the same thing all over again but in reverse. My last big NSV was discovering that I can wear belts! Another thing to shop for. Oh goody!

Yay for you. Those are awesome NSV's.

Those huge sudden realisations of how much better I look, or how I can suddenly fit into something are well behind me now. But like a relationship, as fun as the initial excitement is, the long term stuff gets even better.

I enjoy the simple satisfication of having a body I treat right. I love what it can do. i love not feeling desperate self loathing every time I look at myself.

I absolutely love that without realising it, my new years resolutions focussed on athletic achievement - 2009 is my year to complete several half marathons - and had NOTHING to do with changing myself in any way.

I love simply being able to buy what I need to wear, buy it where I want to buy it and not pay stupid prices becuase its plus sized.

I love that becuase i hit goal a while ago now, I'm used to it, people are used to it, my body and my problems are no longer anyone's focus.

I'm "normal". Wow, whodathunkit?

Yep, that lack of self-loathing has got to be the biggest NSV of them all!
