As a young girl I was hanging out at a friends house and her older sister came in and started talking about the 3 diamonds that your legs should make when you stand with your legs together. One at the ankles, one at the knees and one at the thighs. I remember thinking to myself, "Yeah, right!! I will NEVER be thin enough for my legs to make the 3 diamonds." This is something that has always stuck with me and even though I am still NO WHERE near having the 3 diamonds I still hope to one day, maybe see them.
Today I was walking from my desk to the restroom and I realized something. I realized that when I walk now a days My legs don't rub together like they used to. This might seem like a very insignificant thing to most, but to a fat person and someone that has had to deal with chafing their whole life this is a BIG deal. I even leaned over to one of my supervisors and told her.
I know that I will never have a perfect body...I mean seriously, underneath it all I resemble a balloon that was blown up way past capacity and then deflated. However I am grateful for this journey that I am on and for the little every day victories that I accomplish such as walking with out my legs rubbing together.
What's next on this crazy journey....
