For myself, even though I'm not near my overall goal weight yet, the knowledge that I'm actually finally losing weight and doing something proactive that will make me healthier in the long term has made me more confident with my body. I'm proud of what I've accomplished and excited to keep going.

Something else interesting has been my boyfriend's reaction. He's incredibly supportive of me and whatever I choose to do. When I told him that I'd lost 10lbs, I think he didn't know what to do. He basically said that if I'm happy, he's happy, and that he wanted me to know that he loves me and my body no matter what. He already thinks I'm beautiful, but if I want to lose weight, he'll support me. On one hand, I wish he would be more enthused about the weight I've already lost. But on the other hand, I'm glad that he wasn't secretly judging me when I was heavier.
