Even when I feel bad about my body, am carrying extra weight or when I have that feeling that arises from seeing great physiques, "Will I ever get there; Can I?" Even then I no longer feel a need to justify, or use self-depricating language or negative self-talk, about me or my body. I’ve fully acquired one of the best things we get from lifting: confidence in the body I have now, even knowing it’s not perfect! For the longest time I was super self-conscious of my arms. I felt they were too big: too much fat and muscle combined. And now I’m proud to have them as mine. I’ve noticed this change over the past year. It’s been pretty consistent so it’s pretty solid as a true change. And it’s not conditional! It’s not "Oh, when I’m five lbs. lighter will I feel good" etc. The condition is me: so long as its mine!
