No more shopping in the plus size department.

Feeling confident.

People staring at me for a good reason!

Shocking people at my 20 year class reunion!

SHOPPING! (And enjoying it. And not for jewelry and shoes - because they don't depend on my size.)

Working out without pain.

Wearing shorts.

Feeling like people are seeing ME and not my weight.

Not having to rush past all mirrors for the fear of accidentally seeing myself and being horrified.

-My knee not clicking when I walk up the stairs

-Having more energy

-Being able to do squats without a wide-legged stance because of my belly

-Painting my toe nails without being in an odd position
