		<description>It&#039;s good that you are so in touch with your body.  I know a lot of people (myself included) who ignore it.  Maybe because they&#039;re busy or they&#039;re trying to avoid a painful subject.

		<description>Melissa - I was fat from about 4th or 5th grade on up. I was in the 200&#039;s for most of high school and early college. Near the end of college I got above 300, but was only in that range for maybe 4 years. It&#039;s hard to know for sure because I didn&#039;t weigh myself often.

		<description>When you said you didn&#039;t weight 300 some odd pounds for over a decade, did that mean you more of a normal weight an then got bigger? Or were you always big from childhood?

		<description>Great post--I am so happy for you that your self-image has kept up with your loss.  And once again you have used analogies beautifully.

		<description>Pasta Queen, you have no idea how much I needed to hear what you wrote in this post, especially in the very last paragraph.  I was a bit slack this last week and I was being self destructive, to the point of where I was asking myself why am I bothering with the weight loss.  I KNOW how to get where you are too... I just have to keep reminding myself so I won&#039;t lose the way.  You inspired me so much, I got off of my fat bum and went to the gym after procrastinating for more than a week.

Thank YOU so very much!  Amanda :)

		<description>I also love my body and mirrors.

I have been size 6 petite ( 5&#039;0&quot; 115 lbs) for more than a year now (2 yrs ago 190--and 14 years ago 271), and I still gaze at every reflective surface available.  I choose to dress in fitted clothing that covers and flatters my body.  I also accept and respect my body&#039;s &quot;defects&quot;. Yes, I have some loose skin, stretch marks and wrinkles from aging, but while I know my body is not perfect, it has taken good care of me all through my life, and I am very happy with its current Excellence.

		<description>I&#039;d be checking out my ass all the time, too, if it weren&#039;t so hard to reach around to see it! If anyone deserves to feel beautiful, it&#039;s you. After all this hard work, you deserve to be proud of yourself and how you look. You&#039;ve EARNED the right to check yourself out. One of these days I&#039;m going to be right there with you, drooling over my hot body. (Well, not that YOU&#039;d be drooling over my body; you can drool over your own.)

Since I&#039;m totally &quot;with the times,&quot; I give you a big YOU GO GIRL for being so awesome and having such an awesome attitude.
