I hold my head high when I walk in a room.

I enjoy shopping for clothes.

I can play with my kids regardless of the activity.

I can go skydiving.

I can buy that sex toy DH and I want because I'll be well under the weight restriction!

I can wear leather pants and look GREAT in them.

I can choose any type of lingerie I want.

I feel sexy when I'm naked with my man.

I am at my optimal health.

I have healthy cholesterol levels.

I have energy.

I am no longer a high risk for stroke, cancer, heart attack.

I can ride my bike tirelessly.

I can fit on the back of the motorcycle with DH.

I can wear a wet suit and learn to snorkel.

I can swim and enjoy it.

My skin is fresh and clear.

I can buy SEXY panties.
