And after i got dressed, i had to go back and admire it again - though i feel completely silly saying so, it's more about the fact i was admiring my bare hiney and LIKING what i see.. Such a huge difference, and finally feeling proud of myself for what i have accomplished so far, that felt amazing.. i was teary-eyed and completely thankful no one caught me.. It *must* have been a sight!! heheh...

Not silly at all. Doesn't it feel so wonderful to finally have a part of your body feel good? Hot, sexy, dayum good :-) I don't know about you but I had nothing on my body that I felt that way about when I was at my highest weight. In fact, I felt kinda hopeless about ever being sexy again.

About a 6 months ago I moved into an older historical building, upstairs. The stairs are high and steep. Moving in sucked (but that's another story). About a month ago, I just happened to catch a glimpse of my behind and holy crap...was I surprised! The daily stair routine has been doing some great work, all while I wasn't looking. I became extremely motivated to finish the job; I thought if just stairs could do this what about walking? What about working out, what about...? I am back on a plan, and this time have added the workout. For the first time in a very long time, I see results and have more than hope :-)

Admiring your body can help give you the motivation to take better care of it.
