There's nothing like getting a boost of confidence from seeing your own shadow.
Last week I wrote about getting depressed over my skirt not fitting right. I started feeling better about it over the next few days - because, honestly, the results are there.
I decided to go walk the beltline on Labor Day. I felt good except for the fact that I'm usually running on the beltline, so I was feeling some guilt. But out of nowhere I noticed my shadow - a fine sexy shadow at that. I mean yes my stomach is still big and my butt's not going anywhere, but that's just the shape I've always been at all sizes. The awesome thing was that there was just a lot less of me.
I confirmed that it wasn't just a good angle from the sun. The storefront windows showed a much smaller reflection too.
I guess I just needed a few days out of the gym to realize that I was starting to obsess about results to the point where I wasn't seeing them even when they were clearly there all along.
Win!!!
