Shopping can be...fun?

I've never enjoyed shopping.  Trying things on can be very depressing when you aren't happy with the way you look in any of them.

But today, I turned a corner.  I realized that this new body of mine is easier and more fun to dress.  See?
I never used to wear sleeveless things because I didn't like my arms.  And I haven't worn shorts [besides boy's basketball shorts] in years, but today I bought a pair :)

I think the picture I have in my head is a picture of what I used to look like, but today I really saw a difference in myself...in the sizes I tried on, in the mirror and in the way I felt.

This weight loss journey has been hard [I still struggle on a daily basis with making good food choices and not wanting to work out], but it has been sooooo worth it.  I love that I am healthier, I love that I am smaller and I love the confidence I have gained.  Life is so much better nowadays!

    Good for you girl! I am on my journey as well (again) after having my baby, but I have been in your shoes before - starting to like what you see...that is awesome. You look soooooo good!! I haven't worn shorts in years as well, and look forward to the day I can. (I think Texas was the last time I wore them and that's because I would sweat to death if not) I'm right with you - keep up the great work girl - YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! :)
