A New Found Confidence

This summer, I have been working really hard at the gym and I have been noticing that my clothes have been fitting a lot looser and it has made me feel so much better about myself. I was never comfortable with showing skin, but that is starting to change. I used to want to hide my body, but I am starting to feel comfortable enough show it off a little bit more. 

I have been wearing my black tube top a lot, which a few years ago I never would have had the confidence to wear.  I also bought a dress for my sister's baby shower and it fits perfectly. It is even a size smaller than other dresses that I own.  I have been seeing a lot of women of all shapes and sizes wearing bikinis on the beach and I even told my mom that I might consider wearing one next summer. Lets see if that actually happens haha.
 
Having a disability makes exercising difficult because I have to work so much harder than an able-bodied person would to get the same results.  It has been a long, uphill battle, but I am not going to let it stop me. The shower is in October, so I need to keep the progress up and use the dress as motivation to keep going.  I am proud of the progress that I am making and I look forward to sharing it with you.
