Now this is not to say that I won't be recreated again. And again and again and again.
But I have been recreated.
At the gym in my hotel this morning, I was surrounded by mirrors. You know how it is. Every where you look there you are: from the back, from the side, from the front, layers and layers of your own reflection. For most people, this might not even register as a fact worth mentioning. For others, it is the worst part of working out at a hotel gym. That used to be me. I used to avoid looking in those mirrors at all costs. Just a few months ago, I used to look in the mirror and think, "Jabba the Hut. That's what you look like. Jabba the Hut."
Today, I thought, "You. Are. Thin." I don't know how I got here. And I certainly still have outfits that don't flatter me in the way my tiny tank top and skin-tight leggings apparently do, but dammit, I'm PROUD of the fact that I like the way I look in the mirror today.
Oh, and I suppose it helps that...
...I ROCKED THE HALF-MARATHON!!!
I crossed the finish line at my exact goal time: 2 hrs, 30 minutes (and 8 seconds, but we won't count that...)
I AM OFFICIALLY RECREATED!!
For the record, I am now a beautiful, fit, healthy ATHLETE.
Tell your friends.

Congrats on the spotlight!
I'm actually in awe of where you are right now. I can get down to 105 lbs and still not be happy. Be proud of how far you've come!
