The Little Milestones
One of the best feelings in the world, is trying on every single article of clothing you own and having none of them fit. Being able to say to somebody, "Looks like I have to go shopping!" is an amazing thing. When you get to that store and you are a size down, you feel like a million bucks. You look at yourself in the mirror and say, I earned this, this is for me.
When someone you've known for a long time, looks at you and asks if you've lost weight, is probably one of the biggest confidence boosters there is. When someone you love and trust notices your struggles and hardships and sees how much work you've put into improving yourself, is a really rewarding feeling.
When you finally get up the strength to say no to that piece of cake or the dessert you really want is a big AMEN to you. It took me so long to finally get up the strength to turn it down, but when you do everyone always looks up to you. And you're the baddest bitch in the room.
It's these little things that can give us the confidence we need to continue on our wonderful weight loss journey. We do this for one reason, and it is to love ourselves. Yea, it feels nice to get noticed and appreciated. But there is no greater feeling then having that faith in yourself. You have the strength to be the best version of you. Keep reminding yourself everyday how beautiful you are. You deserve to lose weight, not to impress other people, but because you owe it to yourself to feel that confidence that so many of us lack. Looks, money, expensive things are all cool when they are added bonuses. When you have confidence and love and respect for yourself, that's when you know you made it. Lose weight for you, nobody else. And it will all be worth it.
