Please join me

I'll be blunt and say I'd love to take a moment to toot my own horn.

I'm down 12lbs, I'm down a size and can fit into all my pre-pregnancy clothes and I did it in under a month. It's been hard but it's been so rewarding. I'm pretty damn proud of myself and I want to keep it off. I want to keep it off because I feel so much better about myself. I feel confident and dare I say prettier.

I had become really hard on myself and unhappy when I looked in the mirror. I felt gross, ugly and I felt like a frumpy mom. I'll never be super skinny.....pcos will never allow that but I'm happy. I don't need to be super skinny to be happy.  I still eat the yummy food that I missed just in smaller portions and in a whole wheat option. When you see results you stay motivated and this is the first time I've seen results in a long time.

I went out and bought new shorts today in a smaller size. My old Capri pants were swimming on me. I bought a pretty new pink top to go right along with it and I felt good. That's what matters, right? I think it's so important to feel good about yourself.....it helps me get through the day. It helps to not walk by a mirror and want to barf.

I can't wait to wear this new outfit to the beach this weekend!
Thanks for letting be celebrate with you all!
