In-house Separation - Need advice on my DBing

[aflowergurlie]

Hey BC! Things I have been doing to feel good about myself again:
- Over past year and half, I have lost almost 50 lbs., I'm on track for the last 40 to reach my goal weight. So I try and exercise as often as possible - going to the gym, zumba and yoga classes, riding my bike, going for walks, exercise dvd's. Just trying to stay active.
- Going to the library to check out self-help books on making positive changes is helping with developing and keeping a PMA.
- I too have been buying lingerie! So funny! Sexy new bras and undies - taking full advantage of the Victoria Secret coupons and Fredericks catalogs coming into the house. Definitely makes me feel sexy, like I have a little secret and helps me display a little mystery in my demeanor.
- Going to the beach at least once a week over the entire summer was sooo much fun! I had some girlfriends and family that joined me in doing this - kept me busy and had a great time! Still making it my aim to keep it up as weather is still plenty warm.
- I have a goal to be back on a surfboard within the next year. I used to enjoy this immensely (H is avid surfer). But because of weight and low self-esteem, self-doubt issues, this got tossed to the wayside many years ago. So I bought myself a boogie-board in preping me for this. Going to take it to the pool and starting "training" myself for paddling out.
- Oh! I bought some two-piece bathing suits - have only had one-pieces and haven't worn one in a long time because of weight - but feeling way more comfortable with my body now and decided it was time to "strut my stuff, show off my progress" - H noticed a couple weeks ago and made a positive comment about it - and then we have been at the pool together a couple of times over the past two weeks, so he has seen me then as well.
- I also go and get spray tanned at least once a week - talk about making you feel sexy and feel better about yourself - I am completely addicted to this and highly recommend it! I can't tell you how many people (just about everyone i encounter now) have told me within the last few months how great i look!
- I love to cook gourmet food and even on the weekends when H isn't home I still cook for myself as a treat, paired with a nice wine as a bonus!

How about you? What else are you enjoying?
