Welcome to Wonderful You Wednesday at My Life as a Trimommy. This is an ongoing series where I will have a post by myself or a guest that focuses on body image and self esteem.
I haven't weighed myself for at least 8 weeks. That's a very long time for me. The reason I haven't weighed myself is because of what I saw in my mirror.
One day during my 50k training, I looked in the mirror as I was getting dressed. Instead of seeing arms that could be more toned, thighs that could be a little smaller and abs that could be a little flatter, all of a sudden I saw myself.
Now when I look in the mirror, I see
a beautiful, strong runner.
a mother of two kids.
an endurance athlete.
a friend.
a confidante.
a wife.
a musician.
a person who loves life.
health.
passion.
fire.
joy.
me.
What do you see when you look in the mirror?
you are definitely one step ahead of me on that one, my friend. :) i love this series, ps.
ReplyDeleteGreat post... :)
ReplyDeleteI love this post!!
ReplyDeleteawesome. I'm about to toss my scale. : )
ReplyDeleteWhen I look in the mirror, I see my mother's butt. Until she takes it back, I fear I must continue to obsess about the number on the scale.
ReplyDeleteBut, I've been doing it less and less often. And someday, hope to not own a scale. Or look at the number on it when the doctor weighs me. Or step on the scale in friend's or family member's bathrooms.
ahhh Kelly, you totally rock!!
ReplyDeletewhen I look in the mirror I see skin that lacks the elasticity and dewiness it once had... okay I know..not the point. In all seriousness while I do see that I also see a woman! A woman that is now the mother of two and is STRONGER and more fit than she has ever been! :)
ReplyDeleteKelly.. you are AWESOME!
You are amazing. Thank you for continuing to inspire me and so many others!
