Starting to love myself again

When you shed those pounds, you may not notice it but other people do. I went to get some shorts I figured I’d have to try on. Xxl-too big Xl-still big L- a little snug but I know I’ll be okay! This really changed how I view myself. I still have that over hang on my stomach. I had two children. I can’t expect anything less. I’ll get to my goal, it’s just a matter of time!
