Now that I've lost over 10lbs, my weight loss is becoming more noticeable. I've lost 2" off my bum (and unfortunately another 2" from my bust, which is not so good!) Anyway, I just can't stop looking in mirrors! Every time I go past one, I have to stop and admire my slim(mer) figure. I suppose I just can't get over how much healthier and better I feel. Does anyone else feel like this?

LOL! I'm not as small as you (yet!) but I have been doing the same thing lately- constantly checking myself out, trying on different clothes and etc, haha.

Congrats on your loss and enjoy it!

I'll put it this way..... when I am at the gym working out on the elliptical, I purposely choose the one now facing the mirrors. When I first started, I stayed in the corner.

I can totally relate to this. I find myself unable to resist mirrors lately. I think it's shocking every time!

Its good you are loving yourself and feeling good, well done honey imagine how good its going to feel when you lose more weight (thats what I tell myself)

I've always been vain but now I'm even more unbearable. I try to keep it on the d/l but I do stare at anything that reflects my image

I absolutely do........and I feel that I have a right to look in any mirror. I've worked so hard to get my weight down to where it is now I am going to take every opportunity to check myself out.

I stress this to everyone I meet who: Loving yourself and being confident isn't vain or conceited, expecting other people to like you based on appearance is. I think it's perfectly normal to feel good about your looks and to like your physical appearance. Enjoy those reflective surfaces!

If it makes you happy it is ok It is your body to look at

[Introvertebrate]

Oh my God, I so hope I get to this stage! I currently hate seeing myself in the mirror.

[cantgetenoughchoc]

That's great!! Nothing wrong with fancying yourself.

[DrivenByAmbition]

I hope I can get to that someday.

I will totally be doing this when I've lost the weight, fo reals!! I'll actually wear a DRESS and not feel like a tent with a head! You go girl, work it, if you've put in all the effort then you deserve to check yourself out!

Like the others have said here, you worked for it and you deserve it! It's the payback for your hard work losing the weight.

Looking at your slim self a lot will reinforce your desire to stay that way. I think it's almost a necessity for encouraging oneself to maintain he new lifestyle.

I have started for the first time in my life ENJOYING looking in mirrors and intend to keep doing it a lot. It's payback for the years of feeling bad about myself.

So happy for you that mirrors are your friends now! I don't think you are vain--it probably just feels like that because pride in your appearance is a new thing for you. Enjoy!
