This past weekend, on Saturday, I walked into the bathroom and looked in the mirror and took a big, long look at my naked body. And I cried. I cried, I cried, and I wiped my tears...

Now, I have done this NUMEROUS times! My whole life was me in front of the mirror crying. Crying in the bath looking at my thighs, crying because my senior pictures were horrible because my face was fat, crying, crying CRYING! SO MUCH CRYING!

Now...there is a major difference in these events. In the past I cried because my body was horrendous for me to look at, I was depressed about my weight, didn't know what to do to fix it...

BUT

This past weekend when I looked at myself and tears fell from my eyes....a big smile was on my face. And I started laughing. I cried tears of joy for my new body. I sobbed because I was so happy. So incredibly freakin happy!!! I've worked SO hard! So hard for the past 3 1/2 years to get where I am.


I am so thankful to myself, my workout DVDs, my boyfriend, my books, RawFoodTalk, other forums, eBooks, podcasts, my music that makes me want to move, my delicious fat-melting food!

    Now that is probably the neatest thing I've heard all week. I remember doing the same thing as a kid. I hated the way I looked. I thought I was so ugly and then when puberty came with weight for the first time I would look at my body in unhappiness, for most of my life. I still am not where you are but, you give me hope! :)

    I am so incredibly Happy for you!
