Ah, but you HAVE drawn the map. Well maybe not THE map- we all have our own- but you gave us a terrific reference. Thank you! :)

“That’s really an amazing place to be and I don’t know how to draw anyone a map to get here. “

Awesome, it’s because you’ve done such an amazing job. You kick butt, who wouldn’t love you.

do you ever wish you could go back to highschool and talk your highschool self into enjoying life more? i felt so fat, i was a size 10, and i wanted to dissapear. and now stuffing myself into size 16 jeans (must’ve shrunk in the wash) i can’t stop looking at myself. wish i’d figured it out sooner. cheers to liking ourselves!

What a lovely feel-good (but also funny) entry. I wish I felt like this, but I hope you continue to do so. Well done and all good wishes.

isn’t perspective a wonderful thing! you must never shut up! I’m living veraciously through you Hun, don’t ya know ;D

Awesome@ fitting into clothes that you haven’t ventured into in 8yrs, I know how gratifying that is and it really goes to show you just how far you’ve come.

I’m with ya on the timeline too… the other day I couldn’t believe it’s been a little under 10yrs since I’ve been at high school and all of a sudden I feel SO old, like holy crap that can’t be right?!

you’re taking wonderful care of yourself and that totally warrants strutting up and down and feeling great with who you are, don’t ever ever stop. It’s such an elusive place to be.

Gives us all hope ;D

I am feeling pretty good about myself too. My husband keeps saying, “It’s all about you isn’t it” I always tell him “That’s right and that is how I like it” After 25 years of being mother, wife, worker, daughter it SHOULD be about me and I love myself!!! I am VERY selfcentered! It’s good thing I am not a hot chick with this attitude because then I think I would be unbearable!

I am a whole bunch shorter than you and fifteen pounds heavier than you and I feel WAY prettier and happier right now than I ever did in high school during one of my diet-nadir moments at a size 12 or 14. For the first time in my life, I am starting to settle into my body, to have a sense of “This is it. This is my body, and it is the body I have, and it’s fine, and pretty cute, and it’s not going anywhere, and okay, let’s dress it up and take it for a spin.” Of course, some days I want about fourteen plastic surgery procedures. But some days not! And those days are great! And they are new and exciting!

It’s pretty awesome to have days on which I feel good about my appearance. And weird to think they never happened until, like, THIS YEAR. I am 22 years old.

Wow. I haven’t read a post like this…ever. I have only just started to feel this way from time to time, but tend to quickly discount the feeling for one reason or another- it’s vain of me to feel this way…I still have so much further to go…etc, etc. Thanks to this post, I think I’m going to make a stronger effort to relish those moments.
