You catch a glimpse of your backside in the mirror for the first time in a while!
I was at Target and decided I'd go ahead and try on a couple pairs of 16s as my 18s are too big. Glad I took 2 brands in because 1 fit beautifully and 1 was about 2 inches from closing. Meh, it happens, no biggie.
Anyway, as I was changing I caught a view of my rear in only undies, and yikes! While I'm thrilled my butt and legs are smaller, they are looking rather, well, yucky! I'm weight training (3 days a week), running, and doing other various cardio (6 days a week), so I know I will eventually look good and all those lunges and squats will pay off. But man, things really do get worse before they get better.
I definitely think it's a good thing I cannot see my butt unless I really try. And I won't be really trying for a while.
