Hey Everyone,
I have been exercising regularly for a few months now, and although I have only lost 10ish pounds, I feel a lot better about myself. I'm seeing my progress through my fitness, rather than only on the scale - and this is really helping me stick to the plan and stay motivated.
I was bridesmaid last weekend, complete with fancy hair style and obnoxiously large, beautiful, but over-the-top bridesmaid dress. I dread weddings because it is always boring for me to sit around until it is acceptable for me to leave... i am not a dancer - never have been. I never 'learned' to "dance" and have only slow danced here or there over the course of my 26 years on this earth.
But! Last weekend, I felt fabulous. I felt good about my body, I felt beautiful with my hair and makeup done, in a beautiful dress - and with the help of a couple margaritas, boy didn't I get out on that dance floor! I know I would never done this if I hadn't felt so good about myself at that moment. And I had SUCH A BLAST!
Woohoo! NSV!

That is awesome in so many ways! Glad it turned out to be a good time for you.

Sounds like you had a fun night! Great to hear you were feeling good about yourself

Dancing at weddings is always funny, at the ones I have been to at least, people are always reluctant to start dancing and then all of a sudden, everyone piles on encouraged by others. Nobody wants to look a fool on their own I guess!

Awe what a cool NSV! I'm happy for you.

That is awesome. Just generally feeling more comfortable in my body is one of my very favorite things about this process. Yay, you!

What an inspiring story. I feel happy for having read it.
