*Do you know what it feels like to finally wear that little black dress?

*Do you know what it feels like to finally get in the car and not be disgusted by your stomach pressing up against the steering wheel?

*Do you know what it feels like to look in the mirror and finally see the who you are suppose to be?

That's me. I can't wait till I put on my little black dress, and it actually be little compared to other dresses that I own. I do know how it feels to get in the car and not need a seatbelt extender just to follow the law and I'm here to tell you it makes me smile. When I look in the mirror, I see a hint of beautiful peeking back at me. This is the beautiful that my husband and my sister sees but I never have. It's coming in slowly but it's definitely coming. And it is because of these things that I continue on my journey. I look forward to getting up and getting my body moving. Beforehand, before switching to a healthy lifestyle the only reason I would get up in the morning is to go to work and even then I didn't really want to. I look forward to burning calories and logging what I ate that day because it has truly helped me see the difference.

So for those of you who think that maybe this isn't worth the hard work you need to put into it, it is worth it. This is adding years to my life and it will for you as well. So continue on, push yourself so you can see the beauty that everyone else sees in you already.

Till the next time...
