When I'm dressed, I realize how thin I've gotten. I just had to buy a new belt. A size 32 belt and I'm on the second hole. My pants are all a size 34 and they are all too big. Most of my workout clothes are a size small or medium. But even with all of these clear indications that I'm thin, I look in the mirror and find the flaws. My chest is still flabby. My lower stomach hangs. I have stretch marks EVERYWHERE! I can't consistently see the thinner me.
Others look at me and see what I don't see. They see this fit and thin person. While there are moments I see that too, most times I just see the flaws. This is something I've been working hard at... Not nit picking every little thing that's wrong with my body. There are days where I am at peace with it and am very happy in my skin (excess and all). Those days are becoming more common than. I hope someday I can be entirely at peace with my body and appreciate it! Working on the mental aspects of weight loss ate almost as hard as the physical ones.
