Good things about losing weight:
- I feel so much healthier: physically, mentally, and spiritually.
- I can offer to go on a walk with my mom and not dread the exercise.
- I feel lighter when I move.
- I feel lighter in my heart.
- My arms are shrinking.
- My jawline is poppin'.
- My hipbones be fly.
- It's a sign that I've conquered some of my demons.
- It's proof I've developed positive habits.
- The looks I get from les hommes.
- The feeling I get when I strut down the street.
- Being awesome.
Bad things about losing weight:
- Shirts that were cute ten pounds ago now make me look ten pounds heavier. What IS that?
- I burn less calories when I work out.
- I can't afford to buy myself rewards, but I do anyway because I have a problem.
- I actually do need to buy new clothes, and I do, because otherwise I look dumpy. What IS that?
- I'm worried I'm going to lose my boobs.
- I'm worried I won't know when to stop.
- I'm worried I'll plateau before I should stop.
- I feel a weird disconnected solidarity with people who are "overweight", and have strange thoughts, and I don't know how to feel about it.
