Self Image

I have deciced to take a good look at myself in the mirror and I thought I would see what I always see, I always thought of myself as chubby and out of shape and hated the way I look, well this time I saw myself in a new light, I am not robust with muscle but I did not see the person I once loathed and hated, I liked what I looked at in the mirror for the first time in years!! I perceived myself like that for so many years that I didn't see what really was there. I might not be my size 3 in juniors that I used to be, I can comfortably fit in size 7 in juniors or a size 4 in womens, I might not weight 105 like I did 6 years ago, I am now at a 125 and feel good about myself and not killing myself starving myself or taking dangerous bad things for me. I can eat a healthy breakfast and not feel guilty and eat a healthy lunch and feel good. I still snack on some candy but I am not killing myself over guilt. I really like who I am how I look, My shoulders on the other hand are awesome!!! the muscles!! it is so amazing, I used to be so bony and ugly on my upper body that I thought I need breast implants to make myself look better but with all that muscle I look great!! and I feel so much stronger and can wrestle with my hubby and WIN!!! LOL thank you Cathe!!! great workouts!! just love KPC now! but the next time with out the spider LOL.
Thank you all for being so patient with me and not getting so frustrated with me and telling to get lost!! you are all wonderful people! thank you again.
 
Way to go Lesliemarie!! I am so happy for you now that you can finally see yourself as you really are. What a wonderful milestone in your life.

Something has shifted inside me too, so I can relate. I used to spend so much time seeing what was deficient about myself that I wasn't enjoying all the good stuff. The more I mature, the more I appreciate the good stuff.

I think you need to go out and celebrate big time! :D :D :D :D
 
Hi Leslie Marie,

I'm so happy for you! I hope to get to that point someday. And I don't think anyone would EVER tell you to get lost!

Leslie Marie, thanks so much for posting this. I also feel much more confident and comfortable with my body. I still feel I have to work more on my self-esteem, but I am much happier now than I was when I focused on the little things that no one but me notices...
