How Do You See Yourself?

People are told that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” and “Inner beauty is what really counts”, however I am more inclined to believe what I tell myself over the opinion of someone else – especially someone I might not even know!

For a long time I was perfectly happy being a “heavier” girl. Then, recently I hit a point in my life where I wasn’t – I hit the 200 lbs. mark. Then I hit the 215 lbs., then most recently the 235 lbs. mark. Seeing numbers like that scared (and still do!) the heck out of me! I didn’t always used to be this way….

There was a time were I was mostly muscle, where I walked EVERYWHERE and going up a flight of stairs was exhilarating not exhausting! However, now I see a lack of muscles and an abundance of rolls and cellulite. I feel like I am completely run down at the end of every day. I believe this is partly due to the lack of movement in my day and life.

I find myself looking for creative ways to keep myself happy with the way my body looks and feels.. What are your secrets? How do you keep yourself feeling good about the way your body looks and feels?

Staying in the POSITIVE change, I’m going to make it my GOAL to get my heart and/or muscles going once a day! Do you have a goal or goals that you would like to share??
