When I weighed myself this morning, the scale said 189.4. Normally I would be dismayed to see such a high number ( I am only 5'3" so anything over 140 is considered " obese" ). I actually was a little down......

Until I looked in my new full length mirror when I was getting dressed. I've never had a full length mirror until a few days ago so I always just had what I could see from the medicine cabinet mirror in the bathroom ( which has always been a chubby face with a double chin when I look down and a somewhat big belly ).

Seeing my reflection this morning, I realized that I am NOT obese, fat, or any other body shaming word used to describe being overweight. I am just over weight. And I also realized that I DO look good, which is what my poor husband has been trying to make me see for the past 4 years. Yes, I am overweight and I do wish my booty was a little higher and firmer ( nothing a few squats and some exercise motivation wont help!) But I think I am finally accepting my body for what it is and I am VERY happy!
