I'm so harsh on myself but...

Jul 10, 2009

I can buy a size XL at Old Navy when previously I couldn't fit into anything they sold. I can fit into a woman's size 18 at Dress Barn instead of a 30/32 at Lane Bryant.
I can do a full-fledged strength training and cardio workout for an hour.
I can fit into a restaraunt booth without even questioning it.
I can climb stairs without losing my breath.
I'm strong enough to lift everthing from bags of mulch to the seats in the minivan.
I can fit into the seats at Miller Park and not spill over into my neighbor's space.
I can do push ups and pull ups and even walk backwards uphill on the treadmill.
My knee and hip joints don't hurt with every step and I can cross my legs.
My family is eating healthier than ever and my husband started working out with me too.

When I start to feel bad for not having reached my ultimate weight goal or for not wearing a size 10 outfit, I need to remind myself of all I've accomplished so far which is incentive to continue working towards my goal.
